Its like a mild concussion that keeps you coming back for more 6

These past days I've been doing what I havent done since 2002 - daily I have been smoking multiple tiny joints of my favorite kind of weed, Hindu Kush (an Indica).
Being stoned again is nice but..
GAWD DAYUM guys! You stoners probably built tolerance to it but being stoned, aside from pleasant and creative is not unlike mild brain damage in someone with no tolerance.
Shortterm memory fucked, tendency to be all over the place, notably less intelligent and when typing fast making a LOT more typos and just plain being NOT AS FAST and concentrated.
I had forgotten how much impairment being stoned brought, even in small doses. With tolerance you adjust to it but dayum I dont want to adjust to the impairment.
I think I'm gonna quit again, feeling stoned is nice but the cost is significant. I hope it will wear off in a few days.
Daily pot is not for me. A few tinies every so many days is fine but not daily, the impairment does add up.

Daily stoning isn't for me either. It makes me far too blocked when I'm trying to do college work and shit.
Moderating use and getting mega-stoned once or twice a week is the way to go imo.

Perhaps there is definite impairment for you personally
but for me I am far less efficient at everything when I am not stoned.

Yeah, I've learned to stay away from it when I want to be productive. Creative artsy stuff is ok. I wouldn't say it enhances creativity, but it doesn't hamper it as much as it does other things.
I hate trying to do math high.

For me it enhances creativity for sure, just not verbal creativity. I know for some people it does but not I. It effects everyone differently yo.

Have you thought about the possibility that your brain has compensated so much for functioning stoned, that you might experience impairment when you're sober?
There was an experiment where they fitted people with glasses that made them see the world upside down, and they let them live a few days like that. After a few days, the people saw the world normal despite the glasses. So they took the glasses away and for a time the people looked through their natural Godgiven eyes and saw the world upside down.
See what I'm saying?

So true. One of my friends and I had a phonecall yesterday night while we were both stoned. Though it was late, it was a wakeup call for me. That was the vaguest phonecall I had since I was a stoner. We were both memory impaired and um.. the communication suffered.
Its reaffirmed to me how wonderful it is to be sharp of wits when you're sober.
And at night! you sleep earlier and more but less restful.

Sobriety is just fine, with meth you'd be tweaked the flock out and shooting yourself in the foot the whole time.

What I'll add to this thread is in relation to weed and creativity:
I think weed CAN make you more creative, in other words find new connections BECAUSE you are messing with them so to speak. With that said though, it doesn't mean it is any good. Also, I think weed and art go together simply because art can require multiple tedious requirements, constant repetition of certain things that need to be done (brush strokes, filigreed, über-detail....I love how your mind can wander and still get this done. Weed softens the blow of the mundane part of art, and for that I am grateful for it. Same with LSD for me.

Perhaps my brain has adapted to daily stoning, but I don't remember it making me feel like I have "mild brain damage"
Edit: before I started daily tokin (See, I'm sober right now, I can't even post correctly)
Which was only like 6 months or so ago
Weed boosts my creativity like nothing else though. If I am sober and I sit down and try to play guitar or draw a picture, it's just ok.
When I get stoned and play something, it seems to flow through me more than it flows from me. It's easy to just let go and something amazing happens.
99% of my music is written stoned.

i have also noticed a decrease in my cognitive function while smoking pot.
it makes things fun... but.... it makes my short term memory suck.
i could smoke during the semester but i choose not to. sometimes shit just gets a little too in depth to remember all the fine details when im stoned. and since im going to school for something that i really want to excel at, i would rather absorb all the info while sober instead of be amazed by reading the info stoned and then forgetting half of it by the time im 5 pages further in the book.

My cure for the tolerance is to smoke stronger things. I love oil extracts, they are extremely potent, and one drop on a bowl, take the entire bowl to the head at once, and you feel like you've taken a week from smoking. Head rush is back...

Yeah, I don't smoke weed and then precede with a complicated task. Usually, I just eat and stare at the TV blankly.

no matter what my tolerance is like i always get a gnarly head rush, especially when im smoking hash
my problem is not that I can't remember anything, but just when I am high, it severely cuts down on my motivation for school activity. ill skip classes and stuff not because im paranoid or I don't think I could learn if I want, but just because THC makes me so lazy, i'd rather go get pizza or jam out to some hip hop.
remembering stuff isn't really harder or easier high/sober IMO it definately changes how I interpret things, this is a HUGE plus for me and one of the reasons I smoke everyday. it definately makes me a lot more calm when dealing with people, communication isn't just easier, i'ts not excruciating
i have bad anxiety and at the least I need to be stoned or else im completely agarophobic
when im sober i hide myself either in my room, at school, in a book, etc. when im high my mind wanders and I think of creative and interesting shit to do. its not that my sober mind is uncreative, rather that I tend to torment myself with the politics of life and "success" rather than bringin it back down to earth and just chillaxin
i view it very much so as a daily supplement that I take to ease the stress of living, i take it the same reason that I take xanax or meditate. xanax is a little too mind-foggy, less reward, i can smoke everyday and more or less remember everything that happens, if im on xanax there will be entire week-month blocks of time where I don't remember anything. i don't like that
I haven't tried much else though, coffee makes me tired about an hour after I drink it. it really is my "get me up in the morning and LE'GO"

I'm glad I don't get many negative effects from cannabis.. its one of the few things that keeps me positive and going sometimes. I usually try not to smoke all day anymore but I'm pretty sure I can do anything stoned I can sober. Noone can tell either since the red eyes and other such side effects went away.

I wish I had enough weed to be stoned 24/7.

I can't comprehend how someone can be stoned 24/7. Weed definitely helps with creativity and fluid ideas for music and art but I feel a bit "off" or unmotivated for the day after. I usually am MUCH more productive during my non-smoking cool-off periods.
