I'm pretty sure the effects fade after a few months once u stop, at least after only 1-2 years
Lmao
0 effect on memory
I love weed i think it’s an amazing medicine but to claim it doesn’t effect memory is just laughable.
only short term. I used to take benzodiazepines and smoke a shit ton of weed, like a couple ounces a month for a while then weened off and I don’t feel any different now than I did before.

Hello r/edditor
>to claim it doesn’t effect memory is just laughable
Blaming weed why you can't be studious is the weakest thing ever. People with doctorate degrees do much harsher drugs that ACTUALLY affect your memory
>There are lots of people with middling intelligence who do drugs
>Therefore drugs are actually good for you!
Can't lose what you don't have.
>making this kind of conclusion
I don't think weed is the problem for you anon
They get it.
Oh, and do regular use more edibles. I make my own using coconut oil, water, jello packs, and gelatin. Smoking isn't the healthiest. There are portable vaporizers that will vape from the flower itself. Oils and tinctures are too untrustworthy imo. Too many additives. If you do smoke, invest in some hemp wick. This is for a lower temputure flame compared to a lighter. Fun fact: most lung damage during fires isn't from smoke, it's from the heat. be kind to yourself. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. If you find a drug has control over you vs you over it, it is no longer a useful tool/medicine.
Yeah 1-2 years is not that bad assuming you weren't an adolescent at the time. Any permanent effects would be imperceivable over time if you take care of yourself. I'm more concerned for my own case when I smoked occasionally from 16 to 18 and more often from 21 to 25 with several long-term breaks.
Dude eat and sleep plenty. Weed will not help recovery, and might in fact hinder it when it fricks with your sleep.
t. Smoked all day erry day for like 13 years until randomly it started giving me heart palpitations and panic attacks.
Same thing happened to me until I was put on zoloft for a year. I think SSRIs blunt the effects of cannabis, both good and bad. Cannabis causing panic and chest pains over time seems to be a common and underestimated phenomenon.
Fitness is affecting your reading comprehension. OP is talking about recovering _from_ weed use, not using weed to recover from exercise.
t. high out of my mind on cannabis right now
cannabis hinders muscle recovery. youre a moronic stone who shouldnt post when hes fricked out of his mind. go toke up or something and get out of our faces.
>cannabis hinders muscle recovery
No it doesn't. Anyone who says it does are a bunch of dyels. You might as well tell me eating a bowl of cereal will make my gains disappear
Anything that disrupts sleep quality hinders muscle recovery and ultimatley adapation
dumb stoner
yea nobody cares geek. Cry more about you missing out on 0.015413% of gains or whatever you are trying to argue
you have to be 18+ to post etc etc
>Anything that disrupts sleep quality
>weed
You realize that science confirms it improves sleep quality, right? Otherwise the science wouldn't be used to say weed is for people with sleep issues as one of the valid reasons to get mj card.
You can't even keep up with your own logic
>hecking science says!
It objectively reduces REM sleep quality. The only "studies" that show it's benefical for anyone are for people who otherwise literally cannot fall asleep. Compromised sleep is obviously better than no sleep, but there is not a study in the world showing that a healthy person has better quality sleep with THC in their system and I fricking invite you to prove me wrong.
You are wasting your time, a weed addict would admit that they're a gay stripper before admitting their own addiction or that their drug has any downsides.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_panic
or you're just repeating boomer fear porn ad nauseum and everyone realizes you're full of shit
Pointing out the detrimental effects of a drug isn't a moral panic. Cannabis advocates conflate 1930s fear mongering with more recent scientific research to discredit any criticism of the drug. It is well-understood that cannabis use ages your brain faster, lowers IQ in adolescents, can cause psychosis in those genetically predisposed, causes cardiovascular and respiratory problems, can cause dependence, can worsen depression and anxiety, lowers exercise tolerance, and can cause testicular cancer just to name things off the top of my head. These are all backed up by studies that are easily verifiable online. I smoked weed for years and I don't think it is that harmful to most people but acting like it isn't a substance of abuse and acting defensive is just sad.
alcohol does all that and more, claiming that the funny plant is uniquely harmful is objectively boomer tier fear mongering. if you or anyone else actually cared about weed being bad, there would be just as much seething about alcohol
inb4 you cry about stoner whataboutism, I don't smoke or drink
>there would be just as much seething about alcohol
There is you dumb fricking moron. Go to any alcohol thread and you see arguments against it with the same passion as here, followed by the same druggie cope of "works on my machine" and "you just mustn't have any friends to consume <insert toxic drug here> with!"
Fricking have a nice day you dumb fricking moron
>t. Alcoholic
I never said it was uniquely harmful, all drugs of abuse have potential harms. I'm talking about weed because this thread is about weed, not about alcohol which everyone with a skull knows is an incredibly harmful drug. I don't know why you bothered writing that response when you admit yourself that it's whataboutism.
One drug being worse than another is completely irrelevant to anything unless someone is so dependent on self-medicating that the idea of not habitually using any drug is unthinkable.
Weed does definitely have negative effects from using it
Just because there are drugs out there that could be considered worse doesn't mean weed is a harmless and you can smoke away to your heart's content. This is the other side of the 1930's fear mongering, which is people like this guy who won't admit any negatives to regular use of a psychoactive drug. You're both doing the same thing.
Getting kicked in the balls is better than getting kicked in the leg, that doesn't mean being kicked in the leg is "good". Weed isn't good or bad, it's just a substance and has effects.
>Getting kicked in the balls is better than getting kicked in the leg
homie, what?
"Science" confirms trans women are real women
It’s the opposite, actually. Have you missed when NBA and NFL players started smoking after games?
Completely irrelevant to the thread my dude. OP is not about muscle recovery but you keep going on about it. Ironic that a dumb stoner needs to point this out to you.
please don't push your alternative medicine on others or seek validation
>alternative
You dont get to tell me shit about my choices
Stop raping children, Juden
smoking weed may help you get to sleep, but it is very bad for your sleep quality. Memory is whatever just don't smoke as a teenager.
if you find it helps you relax and helps with anxiety or whatever, go for your life. Otherwise it doesn't do anything for recovery.
I vape weed on the weekends. Fricks my REM sleep but only on those 2 days.
Small price to pay for a little respite from the monotony of life and is far healthier than having a drink
Cope. Stop smoking. The boredom goes away. The difference in REM sleep is night and day. I was an everyday smoker for 25 years until last year. I still get absurd dreams every night. I went from 40 minutes of REM a night to 2+ hours.
Yeah it only fricks your memory and concentration while you use it. You can recover if you stop using, granted it will take some time.
My take on it is that the brain is pretty much like a muscle, and weed just makes you lazy and immune to being bored. So if you spend 10 years stoned and doing nothing it's like if you spend 10 years sitting on a chair. If you try to run and you can't is not the chair's fault, it's yours for not moving. Same with weed, it just makes you not challenge and use your brain enough.
If I quitted you can too anon. Good luck.
t. 8 years heavy abuser, clean for 4
the correct take. memory is an active process and can atrophy like any other muscle if not challenged.
to answer your question about 6 weeks for it to leave your system. problem is THC is fat soluble and your nerves and brain cells are coated in mylein (fat). whether or not it actually impairs YOUR memory or just your motivation is contentious but you can't know for sure until you've abstained long enough for it to leave your cells.
Every single take here is derived in some way from US government anti Mexican propaganda
Weed doesn't affect memory
Weed doesn't make you lazy
Weed doesn't make you stupid
Weed is a vitamin. We are literally built to use Weed freely
If I had some Weed right now, I would smoke it
If I had a home and a job, I would grow it
If I lived on a farm, I would grow it in massive quantities and create my own strains
Be safe out there
Yes goyim the recovery-compromising, testosterone-lowering dopamine antagonist is good for you! Keep taking the taxed sedative and keep becoming increasingly complacent with the changes to your home and culture. You are sticking it to the man!
Yeah a plant is aware of the goyim non goyim divide. That's one heck of a leap, frendo
>thing needs awareness to have negative effect or be used malevolantly
I guess opiates and heroine are good for you beacuse poppies don't have awareness you fricking moron. A sedative is a sedative, naturally occuring or not. It doesn't need awareness to be bad for you or have it's use encouraged by people with your worst interest in mind.
Besides, there is nothing natural about modern cannabis and it's THC levels. The average stoner wouldn't even get a buzz off a naturally occuring cannabis plant found in the wild.
Modern weed is to the naturally occuring cannabis plant what a chihuahua is to a wolf. You would never find it in nature and your entire perception of the plant is based on ignorant delusion, and you yell "propaganda" to justify your addiction to a man-made crutch.
What's wrong, talk to me fren
>gets btfo'd

kek now tell me I must be fun at parties
You must be the life of the party anon

Embarassing
I don’t know about THC, but other compounds in weed like CBD are very healthy and good for you, and are very synergistic with working out. I haven’t had DOMS since I started smoking CBD and my work outs feel less taxing.
>Weed doesn't make you lazy or stupid
>Weed is good for you
>No, I don't have a home or job, why do you ask?
>nobody in the corporate world does drugs, not even something as harmless as weed
You really haven't talked to people in general if you people everyone is drug free.

You can recover, it just takes time. Same for alcohol, you can think it like the time you used as the recovery time. It really takes years in some cases but you will also recover fully in most cases.
Best way is to just not take it too far like a moron. Weed is good, beer is good, opium is good, shrooms are good. Its all good in moderation and as long as you are mentally, socially and physically in a good place and not using these substances to mask issues.
>don't like being a stoner
>am absolutely disgusted by food when sober
>am already underweight and struggling to put on muscle
Quitting might kill me by starvation. Feels bad homie.
Just eat? Who cares
Weed has to be the shittiest drug out there. It provides a really feminine, moronic high. It temporarily provides the kind of brain I imagine most women and stupid men have.
>It provides a really feminine, moronic high.
Sounds like you are in the closet and trying to project your weird issues onto others. Good luck to you in finding yourself anon
>smoke weed daily
>healthiest and most lean person in any given room
>everything is more enjoyable
>actually get things done since I don’t feel like shit constantly
>sleep like a baby and feel good all the time
>literally no downsides
I don’t get all the hate for weed. You guys sound like nerds who were excluded from everything so you make it your persona to be this pure guy who is holier-than-thou
>work in retail or food service
>projection
There’s all kinds of people that smoke weed in this world, and these days more people than not with it being legal and all.
Even if this is true and you are not a pathological liar like most junkies are. You would be the 1 in a million exception. Weed druggies are without fail always antisocial failures. The need to numb yourself is never a positive trait. Also completely anecdotally, I've never met a junkie whos life wasn't completely stagnated at best and in a downward spiral at worst. But they are always mentally children still. Completely obsessed with all things that are nostalgic for them. No way in hell any could muster up discipline or motivation to get fit.

You realize solitary, anti-social nerds who sit inside and play video games all day are the primary demographic for weed right? This isn't the 90s where you actually needed to know people to have a reliable. You can order weed online and have it delivered to your door in almost every single state. Smoke weed if you want but wake up to reality and realize that most successful normal people smoke it only occasionally while the subset of people who consume it the most have a problem.
reliable plug*
>anyone who smokes weed is a loner!!!
>normal successful people only smoke occasionally
I know successful people who both drink and smoke alone every night and avoid having to go to some social event on the weekends. You're an absolute shut in if you actually believe the words you are saying, i hope you are just troll
Does a well-functioning, happy person really need a daily drug habit? Those people, if they exist, are successful in spite of those habits not because of them. I'm not going to argue with a butthurt stoner who can't withstand any criticism of their drug use. If you were happy with yourself, you wouldn't respond with defensive incredulity.
What? You the only one making arguments, others are just informing you how anti social you are
>Those people, if they exist
Holy, you really are a shut in.
>Does a well-functioning, happy person really need a daily drug habit?
i dont think you realize how much drugs rich people actually do. And its probably not weed
>weed is more anti social people
>never heard the term puff puff pass
lmao this homie has never been to a party in his life
>sharing needles is a problem
>therefore heroin is a social activity
Dumb Black person is obviously underage by thinking "puff puff pass" is some kind of slam dunk argument, but damn you are moronic too
i dare you to keep on smoking daily for the next 10 years
if you have memory problems from weed it's a skill issue, just stop being a midwit
great I ran out this month and now I want to smoke again. >:( not gonna because that would be weakwilled junkie shit to pawn shit off to buy more, but I have thought about it and allowed it to pass over me.
Like an herbal supplement, loosely used in this context, the effects will take a couple weeks to happen. You may or may not notice cause as time progresses as the "supplement" will slowly increase its potential.
As far as memory, weed can effect memory. Essentially, the part of the brain is less likely to *retain* memories. Memories can still be formed but essentially the brain will go "ah, I don't care or need to be mindful about that" and yeet that shit. The brain tries to be efficient and lower effort as possible. Be cognitive. Be aware. Memories tricks can help like verbalizing, stating a goal out loud, basically talking to yourself. It'll active more regions of the brain which can help memory recall. Find an emotional connection can help with memory retention as well. Need to go meal prep but feel the couch lock coming on? Put your thoughts into how maybe you enjoy the act of cooking, the taste of your food, or the post-eating feeling being sated. Or just smoke after cooking.
General cautions about using cannabis: it is a depressant, ages 25+, Decreasing your awareness
s and perception. Lifting high can be dangerous and less likely to recognize potential risk. Weed can also bring out underlying, unhealthy traits in someone. Not to say that it's the plants fault. Personally, I think its more about surfacing personal issues so they can be recognized. Apathy, for example, could mean that maybe there is a lack of passion or enthusiasm. Maybe its time to change your perspective on something rather than ignore it. Yes, it can cause unwanted side effects like paranoia, anxiety, etc. Again, I think it may be underlying and counseling or therapy is suggested if unhealthy behavior presents itself. Or just think about the shit that makes you unhappy and how it can be changed to be healthier.
I use it, not only for physiological reasons but mental and spiritual benefits. Weed can strengthen or weaken your mind. You decide how that momentum swings.
Adults memory deficits only exist as tolerance does.
Adolescents have permanent memory deficits.
Correct. Cannabis permanently reduces gray matter in under 25s.
Dumb stoners never recovered from this fact, figuratively and literally.
>source: my busted butthole
cry about it
>Cannabis permanently reduces gray matter in under 25s.
So does using the internet
Welp, we're already fricked
Smoking weed as a teen gave me psychosis. If your mental health isn't so great, I don't recommend it.
kek this but instead it made me assumably bipolar. i didnt go because money and its not really thing in my country kek. but symptoms were there for month of depression to manic weeks, with somewhat normal inbetween. now i got better by itself after 3 or 4 years. havent touched it since covid. im not sure if weed was causing it but found out it can do it along psychosis recently
my memory is worse than it was before weed tho, but not by much. motor skills are same
Loneliness effects your memory more
I'm tired of posting on here
Three months.
You guys might have just been moronic from the very beginning, if you cannot focus while smoking weed tbh. I smoke a blunt before reading and study sessions all the time, and experience, if anything, a more pleasant learning experience with more retained and internalized information.
I am currently experimenting with weed after taking a 20 year break. I want to do it now then as part of my cardio/chill routine on weekends to wind down. I want to find the optimal amount to smoke where my mind stays clear but my body starts to relax somehow I cant that point. I either get to baked or I dont feel much either. Is this even possible?
Yes, if oyu are super disciplined. I also got back into it after it became legal here where I live. I was taking micro doses just to get a buzz after my workouts. Then it turned into a small hit. Then it turned into a regular sized every day smoker hit.
But micro dosing was best in my opinion. Something to just feel good but not completely change my state of mind
yeah micro dosing is where I am at atm as part of my experiments. last weekend I did like 3-4 small hits before my cardio run. It was fun but I was maybe to disciplined and threw like 1/2 of the joint away... but well next time its 5-6 hits. I am positive I will find the right amount without getting all paranoid and shit.
Lmao, its hard to stay disciplined and not increase your dosage with each session.
Wouldn't it easier and healthier to use edibles to microdose? I don't really see the appeal of it personally.
I cant just buy edibles here and its to much of a hastle to make something. I also heard there can be long delays after eating it before it kicks in. I usually want it to kick in at specific times like right before my run.
With no tolerance, you're looking at 7 mg for the effect you're looking for. This is a single hit or an edible
I smoked like every other day just sophomore year of hs and then once again freshman year of college and I don't remember those years very well at all where the other years where i didn't smoke i remember them vividly
>I dont remember the earlier days of hs
>I do remember the last 2 years of hs
This is like me saying I don't remember kindergarten at all but I never smoked during this time. Lmao what the frick kind of argument is this? I remember every party I went to during college and I was most fricked up during these days. This is not a good argument lol
it's not an argument you stupid homosexual he asked about weed and i answered i don't remember the two years i smoked it a lot. i remember all the other stuff, as i said you stupid Black person. i'm 37 by the way and remember every year of my life except those two. AND LIKE I SAID ASShomosexual IT'S NOT AN ARGUMENT. I ANSWERED SOMEONE'S QUESTION AND DUMB FRICK WEED Black person LIKE YOU HAS TO BOTHER ME ABOUT IT LIKE I GIVE A SHIT
>im 37
>this triggered over someone saying his point is dumb
>this is not an argument!
Sorry, I thought you just graduated hs the way you talk and how triggered you got over nothing.
Keep pretending to be an adult or something
>Freshman year of college is early days of high school
Keep telling us how weed doesn't cause brain damage lmao.
>Arguing about the word hs and college
Keep telling us how being sober doesn't indicate low IQ level thinking
Do you understand that high school occurs prior to college? So one's years in college are more recent than his years in high school. So your weird rant about kindergarten really makes no sense in this context.
Do you understand you are too dumb to troll?
Same I don't remember 2021 and 2023 all that much but I remember 2020 and 2024 when I wasn't smoking. I think the good news is that your memory can bounce back during abstinence or moderation.
2020 and 2022*
why the FRICK ARE YOU TALKING TO ME? moron? I ANSWERED HIS QUESTION. I DON'T GIVE A FRICK ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS. STUPID FRICK. TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT YOU DUMB homosexual

Let's go swimming today
SNIFF
I'll never understand how anyone can be willing to smoke (or drink) daily, I usually get annoyed after a few hours and wish I could be fresh and sober again, then don't even think about even touching weed for another week, because getting dumb and lazy makes it harder to properly unwind
Getting dumb and easy makes it easy to unwind if it gets rid of that little voice in your head talking shit frick that homosexual
It has no effect on your memory, improves your mood, has no effect on memory, it will boost your appetite which is good for /fit, also has zero effect on memory.
Weed is obviously deleterious to the body and spirit, but no need to make it a moral crusade. Weak people will continue to get addicted to it, while the strong will be able to use it occasionally without issue. Those who aspire towards strength will abstain entirely, which is probably good for them.
I dunno, just stop using it. You can’t change what happened.
