I have the same problem. You just need to find way's to cope with it. Personally, I have A.D.D, although the condition is thrown around a lot(it seems every hyper active child has A.D.D these days) it can be frustrating at times, you just need to find ways to get around it. Personally, I try little tricks like your key one. Although, as you've stated, they aren't fool proof. I do step it up a little in the sense that I would have put whatever it was on top of my keys. I also like to write notes. Copious amounts of notes. I'm on my computer all the time, so lets say I need to copy a note for a friend, I put the note on my keyboard.

Also, Weed has little to do with it. From what I've researched, weed does not in any way permanently cause short term memory loss. Unless your a burnout, e.g. smoke enough to be stoned all day (which is not a bad thing IMO, if it doesn't affect you negatively), it would not affect your being forgetful. Of course if would in a lot of instances, like when your stoned, and your boiling water for craft dinner, you walk downstairs and look at the T.V, then go upstairs two hours later and see absolutely no water in the pot...

So I know how it is. There is no cure, just little things you can do to make it easier.

And by no means is ritalin the answer. Damn ritalin.

Peace and good luck, :rastasmoke:
