When will my short term memory get back to normal?

Ever since I started smoking weed my short term memory has been veryyy bad. I can remember what I did, but it just doesn’t feel like I did it. I’ll look back and go “wtf?! I swear I didn’t do that!” but I remember doing it.

When will it go back to normal? havent smoked in about a week

Answer #1

I love how people who have never done drugs or never had an addiction think that it’s just as easy as stopping cold turkey and everything is allright again.

There are such things as withdrawels, and there are long term side effects that you must deal with when you finally decide to quit. It is not an easy task.

Answer #2

Vicadin is a different drug and the addiction and chemicals are different. It also depends on how much you used, how often you used, and how long you have been using. Marijuana is usually the easiest drug to recover from and to gain short term memory back from.

Answer #3

I still have troubles with my short term memory and I’ve been clean for 1 1/2 now. That was poppin’ vicadin tho…so ya…guess u’ll see in time…sucks tho…

Answer #4

Your short term memory is being affected because you are used to being high and functioning while high. When you quit drugs, ciggarettes, alochol, your short term memory will suffer, but only for a small amount of time.

Your brain is just used to functioning while you were using marijuana, now that your clean and not using, it has to readjust to doing things while clean. Give it a couple more weeks and you will be fine.

Answer #5

This is just my own expierience but I smoked for about 4 years almost every day, and I’ve been clean of all drugs for close to 2 years…and I still have a lot of memory issues. and bad anxiety that I never had prior to smoking or doing drugs. everyone is different, but once you damage your brain, at least some of the damage is going to be permenant…you may just have some good days and some bad days with it. thats what I’ve noticed

Answer #6

You should hop off that downward slide before something more serious happens that you can’t recall - but changes your life forever.

Answer #7
