Don't you feel it makes you a bit more stupid? For me, as soon as it becomes a daily habit for more then 2 weeks, the negative sides start to outweigh the benefits. It really does mess with short term memory, they say an average person can remember 9 things at once, and I'm pretty sure weed drastically reduces that. To the point where people in conversations will actually notice you can't remember well what you just talked about 5 minutes ago and might think you're a bit stupid. For coding it makes monotonous tasks more bearable, but I often lose context when tackling more complicated problems. I mean I still love weed, but everyday / all day just isn't that great. All good things in moderation. |

Honestly, I only care about long term memory.
Short term was mutilated by todo apps and calendars already.
I want to reserve my memory for interesting ideas and moments. Not groceries and vacuuming.
This thread is making me think my way of prioritizing and doing is, not novel, but different than the replies is all.
I play guitar and piano, I don’t own a TV, I do use a tablet for movies but once or twice a week. I play Tetris on my kids Switch rarely, otherwise got bored with video games years ago, I don’t use social media. I exercise daily but don’t watch sports.
I have a lot less cultural “noise” in my face than many, yet I live in a big metro area.
Maybe that affords me the mental bandwidth to work with weed?
