In reply to MARIJUANA + MEMORY LOSS...any hope?, posted by SometimesBlue on August 20, 2007, at 12:36:47
Yes there's plenty of hope.
Firstly well done for getting off the stuff!
Whoever said weed isn't addictive (physically or otherwise) should try it for themselvs for a month or 2. Why else is it called THE CHRONIC!?
All I know is the longer you stay away from the stuff the better your memory improves. From lots of experience. I smoked it for 15+ years virtually every day from age 12. What about you?
The only memory problems I have now seem to be med related.
Some 'brain food' supplements may help. Try any one, or combination of the following: Phosphatidylserine, Ginkgo Biloba, Omega 3, Alpha Lipoic Acid + L-Carnitine, DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol), Choline (or Phosphatidylcholine from Lecithin), etc. There are lots more so just try searching the web. Pay particular attention to specific combinations which will have a synergistic effect.
There are plenty of 'smart' drugs too, many of which are derivatives or slight chemically altered versions of the natural ones.
It will get better, but of course if you're particularly concerned then see your doctor.
Any other associated problems? How long you been off weed?
