Short Term memory loss

    I have been noticing lately that my short-term memory is being seriously affected when I am not high. I smoke every evening after I am home for the night and I have noticed that I have been very forgetful. People will often say to me "I just told you that" after I ask people questions when I have no recollection of asking.

    I also am a college student and I have always been the kind of person who doesn't have to write any assignments down, I used to be able to remember due dates from 7 classes without missing any assignments and now I have to write down everything because I have begun to forget about homework and I am only taking 3 classes right now.

    My short-term memory used to be very sharp but I feel like my mind is being dulled. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions of something I could take to help with my memory, or if anyone just has any thoughts about this. I am thinking about limiting my smoking to weekends now to help with my memory.

    Obviously cutting down on the smoking will help. Weed does cause short term memory loss after all. One thing I can say for you though is, if its hitting you hard all at once, consider the placebo effect of your mind. Just my penny

    One thing you should know, unless you quit pretty soon, it's permanent! I'm pushing 60, been smoking for 40, and I can't remember much of my life. Just know it's a sacrifice you are making.

    i believe it can also help short term. i'd go with placebo.

    i would cut back to weekends.

    but more importantly have fun while you are in college. after you graduate things will be much differnt then they were in college.

    You may have some serious memory loss issues but don't go around telling everyone it's because of the weed because it isn't. Yes you get short term memory loss but long term remains intact and you will most certainly not forget whole segments of your life. My guess is you've dabbled in some other substances or maybe just haven't led the most eventful life hence your failure to recollect it at times.
