MEMORY loss and MARIJUANA?

Question

Im a 16 year old female, and I just got high for the first time yesterday, from marijuana in a bong. I was soo high, i think its because i didnt eat maybe? Haha, it was actually really funny because i was just sitting there and i was holding a glass of milk and i just started spacing out and i dropped the glass..haha but apparently i didnt even flinch i just was like oh, whoopsie. hahaha. sorry, had to share that.

anyway, the only time i will be able to smoke is basically on weekends, because i cant really do it at my own house especially during the school year, so if i only am smoking, say..once a week...will is drastically alter my memory? im thinking it matters how often you smoke. but see im not a 'average smoking teen', an image you probably are picturing in your head. im one of those stay home on friday night to do homework kind of girls and when i smoke it just really makes me feel good, on top of excercise and eating healthy...if i ever would smoke as a 'hobby' like, a daily thing, it would be much down the line. so, is that ok? how much will it hurt my short term memory?

thanks for reading all this, haha i tend to get an idea and it just all spills out.

Answer 1

marijuana dosnt effect your memory it takes your braincells and squeezes them together for the time that you are high until all your seritonin goes back to your brain but you dont lose brain cells nothing happens dont believe the hype  

Answer 2

not really unless u do it evryday all day and your high 24/7 then u dont know wat your doing but thats it  

Answer 3

Marijuana effects short-term memory. Smoking any Marijuana does this, to one degree or another. i.e. 'Where did I just put the remote?' This isn't permanent, though. THC acts like a clog in your synapses, over time the clog is cleared and you're back to normal. I smoked for two years, everyday. I quit smoking about 8 months ago and haven't noticed any lasting side-affects, except slight weight loss due to the lack of the munchies.

To the other user: Defining something as bad because it is illegal, solely on that basis alone, is absurd. If everyone had that attitude there would have been no Civil Rights Movement, no movement to liberate women, no Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad and no American Revolution. - Abstain from Conformity.

Answer 4

It is already affecting you.  You have admitted to committing a crime on a public forum.  Not only is it illegal and expensive but when under the influence you are not in control of yourself.  Better that you find some new friends and accomplish something that will benefit you in the long run.  I am a child of the 60s.
