Does smoking weed reduce your mental performance over time or is it a meme?

>> No.9511536

i think that it depends on your mindset. if you are living a balanced life it is a boon, especially for creativity. but if you are a cabbage, well yer gonnae be cabbaged

>> No.9511775

depends on what task you're performing

if you smoke constantly and do 4 dabs every day, yes, yes it completely fucks you up but the effects go away after not smoking for a week.

Depends if you believe and live into government drug education videos, or not.

Most people are retards whether UI or not, and will play out the "extra-retarded" card because they are conditioned to do so by the society.

In my experience it increases the ability for divergent thought at the expense of one's ability for convergent thought.

For some people it can increase divergent thought to the extent that it causes actual psychosis.

The thing about drug addicts like people that smonk weed every now and then but keep using their brain all the time doesn't have any kind of problem. Then there's the stupid people that can't think at all and abuse pot. Yeah of course they are gonna wnd up with memory loss, fuckers barely use their brain for anything that isn't breathing, eating, shitting or sucking dick to get money for it

Read somewhere that whem an enemy was conquered old militaries would fill in the new area with MJ smokers. Something about THC and memory overlaps. Supposedly people become so gullible that it makes officials jobs easier when it comes to re-dating records.

It affects short term memory, can attest. 100% reversible and can be prevented during use with mental exercise. Has other effects like reducing the capacity to dream which sufferers of PTSD find unbelievable relief from.

Also, supposedly, reduces the amount of white matter in the brain and can break down synaptic connections or something, not entirely a bad thing.

anecdotal evidence:

smoked daily (multiple times daily) from ages 15-25 through undergrad and grad school (social sciences). didn't make a lot of friends, didn't excel at school just did enough to get by. social anxiety from being high all the time, etc.

now i smoke occasionally (once every 2-4 weeks) and am back at school full-time. i am literally the smartest person in all of my classes, and i'm 10+ years older than my classmates. when i smoke i cannot concentrate and i have no motivation to try hard to do anything. when i'm stoned i like to be outside and roaming and going on adventures.

but when i'm sober i feel like i have the brain of a superhuman. i can lead classrooms and master diverse subjects, not without any effort at all, but i can clearly understand the effort needed to accomplish a task or acquire a skill and deploy it effectively.

although i also think that all the acid i did back in high school/college kind of expanded my mind a bit. i'm also aided by an excellent visual memory

I know it's not scientific at all, but I did an IQ test right after smoking a joint and scored 134, which is pretty much my usual sober score.

I have been smoking almost every day for almost a year now but the last 2 weeks I quitted because I had a nasty food poisoning and just didn't want to smoke. I didn't notice any difference in cognitive capabilities but I did feel like I was procrastinating a lot less. So maybe it in a way it does influence your mental performance in a way that it makes your might more likely to wonder of.

Yes it does. I have been smoking everyday for 15 years, Im not retarded or anything but honestly I start to feel the effects, memory loss, health problems etc.
