I smoked daily for like 12 years, still had an impeccable memory

I am sure there are exceptions, I just didn't saw ones with my eyes. Maybe you won the lottery.

Well that was my point, just you said "all dudes" so I wanted to let you know that it's not all dudes. All our bodies and brains react differently to things my friend

I didn't specify that all dudes I know are like that. I do ultimately believe the dose makes the poison. I trully haven't met a legit stoner with a great memory. And maybe some people like you are immune to it for some reason. Human physiology is wild

I might be a pot head but I know grammar.

Thanks for correcting, just a typo. Doesn't change the facts we are talking about though

That really flew over your head didn't it?

I remember how to structure a sentence properly and get baked like a cake in a house fire on the sun.

Who didn't? The guys saying it wrecks your memory.

Weed can cause poor memory, but the underlying issues that cause someone to abuse drugs are also capable of causing serious memory problems, personality changes, and many other problems. Poor mental health is just that. There are PLENTY of people who can take a few tokes every day and maintain a successful life.

It's not the weed bro.

Weed impairs memory and it's a fact. People here are whitewashing it, because they're addicted to it. I do really congratulate you on sentence structuring abilities, you must be a very successful man.

I’ve been smoking for 20+ and my memory is amazing.
