I think a person can fry their brain just working themselves up sober
I personally feel that weed wouldnt fry my brain, but some on this site insist it was the sole cause of their psychosis.

Long-term weed usage can hurt short term memory. It will not effect any other aspect of your intelligence.
Assuming you are above the age of 25 (it's worse if you're not): The average person can remember 9/15 words in a given period of time. 5 years of smoking weed will lower this to ~8.5/15, and another 5 years will bring you down to 8/15, etc.

I’ve heard pot can exacerbate latent mental illness, probably due to its mild psychedlia. But most people do not trip on indoles as frequently as one might smoke pot.

I have heard the same type of things about weed and memory. I think it is more an issue if you are chronicly on chronic.... which is to say more than a recreational user. I think anything taken to excess can cause problems. Just my two cents.

Drugs give idiots an excuse to be idiots. Drugs give dumbasses something external to blame their stupidity on.

I can't prove this but, people who are in this forum doing the very sci-ency stuff discussed here probably don't fall into that category. I am sure there are exceptions to every rule.

I’m a chronic user, and the only times I notice any kind of short term memory problems is when getting high after a long abstinence. For me, it seems as long as my tolerance is up to its usual, about a gram a day for 15+ years, I don’t experience long or short term memory problems. After a break, and I get blasted, yeah..... I will forget that I am holding the lighter, or already poured myself a glass of water, or what we were just talking about, etc etc
That said.... I’ve met some very dumb potheads in my life. So, i think it has something to do with individual biology.
Or, I will go with:

when I have daily thc, I begin forgetting why I entered rooms, foggy meanings let me function, but in the midst of functioning I am still unclear of what I am doing.
I am much clearer after a few days off, and I don't get this from lysergamides.
At least it is not perma-fried, and while thc fried still inspired and functional.

The worst that will happen if you constantly smoke pot is that you will gain a ridiculous tolerance and will just stop getting high. It's really disappointing actually because you spend a lot of money to maintain the mildest of buzzes. But you wont fry your brain.

You can fry your brain without any drugs, so for the person inclined to do this, sure, he can use weed that way.

I smoked weed multiple times a day for 10 years, usually mid grade/regular weed, rarely high grade, never gained tolerance to it in terms of dosage needing to be increased, in fact over time i became more sensitive to it and noticed it's Psychedelic-like properties coming out more, but i've also taken Ayahuasca a lot and still regularly consume Rue seed/Harmalas, so that may have something to do with it's tolerance never going up. I recently quit smoking though, been away for almost a month now (1 month Cannabais free here in a couple days). It won't fry your brain but it definitely caused me some issues while smoking it which led to the decision to quit, nothing major, but the anxiety and paranoia and general awkwardness was really messing with me and things started feeling uncomfortable, but even when i was still smoking, when i was sober i was fine though, but the minute i smoked i just felt really uncomfortable. Lemon EO though has been pretty good at giving me the terpene content i'd get from Cannabis without needing to consume Cannabis, so i'm sure that's helped me out some.

Mate, this is when you should start to smoke, not quit. But use cannabis as a potent psychedelic, and smoke it 1-8 times a month. Not for relaxation or fun, but for private investigations, and for deprogramming your thinking.
I find that with weed you can shatter your worldview in comfortable increments, and in this way move towards truth.

Yeah i realized that, though from my understanding even if i stick to abstention, if i do decide to smoke it again at some point, those effects will probably likely still be there, so if i use it again i will be using it in that way, or with Psychedelics in general.

on this one, y'alls opinions < science
weed can very slowly reduce short term memory over time. it can also, very rarely, exacerbate latent mental disorders
that's about it

But being fried is different. Thats when you smoke 3 blunts of strong shit in an hour. For me if I smoke a rip within 5 minutes of waking up, that fries me for the whole day even if thats the only time I smoke. Strong edibles also make me feel fried for hours. I have felt truely stupid at times. I feel like if you smoke more than 2 grams a day for a long time, that will slow the brain daily. When you are fuckin up at work, thats when you know. I still smoke ~0.5g/day (bong rips) and never do I feel burnt when not smoking.

frying implies permanent change. obviously while intoxicated (and shortly after) you will not be at 100% mental capacity
short term memory can be fucked for up to 30 days in seriously chronic smokers, but that's still almost no time in the grand scheme of things

You mean you don't remember having any memory issues? Sorry dude ... Just breaking balls. I don't put much stock into the "research" on the harms of drugs. There is a bias for finding reasons to back prohibition. Maybe now we will get some more balanced research. Most grants for research are from anti drug interests. Maybe a poll is in order?

Short term memory issues seem to be able to be counteracted using Lemon essential oil, or pure Alpha-Pinene, or perhaps pure Limonene, or other essential oils that contain those terpenes. Even when smoking, so long as i took those terpenes, didn't have any short term memory issues, but before i started taking the terpenes, i did have short term memory issues while on Cannabis. As far as short term memory loss in the long term even after abstention, from my understanding, it's primarily only an occurrence while on Cannabis, but not when not on Cannabis.
