You used to be to high (either directly or residually) to notice.
Give it a year of abstinence and neuroplasticity to see what you have left.

Weed by no means enhances the physiological state of your brain, unless you're talking about the recreational benefits...

Visions, it can, however, affect what you're used to. For example a friend of mine is a huge Halo nerd, and a huge pothead. When he plays Halo and he's not high he is definitely not as good as when he is high, just because he's used to playing the game that way.
And bojangles, just get used to not being high. I'm sure you can still be witty.

I feel slower when I am stoned, but if I am sober I can think just fine and talk just fine.

I mean slower at thinking things out, but I can still multitask at my job and still go just as fast. Okay sometimes I smoke some weed at lunchtime. I don't smoke a huge bowl, just enough to get high. I need to smoke a bowl, it is almost noon on my day off and I still haven't smoked any trees? Well after a few vodka mixers then I will do it, i get lazy on my days off..

This happens when you brain doesn't receive the THC it's used to receive. I've been there too. It'll pass in few weeks.

I notice in gaming, my concentration level goes up when I'm high because I become focused on only one thing and can't multitask, so I get stuck on it. I can game for hours quite well. :O

Weed is an enrichment on one hand, but terribly blunts your brain on the other. In many ways your sense of subtleties is lost, your shortterm memory tanks, you are distractible..
Weed in large doses makes you withdraw into your own little world at the expense of interaction with the outside world.
After smoking weed, the rest of the day simply won't be the same.
You tend to have lower energy levels, less motivation, less concentration, and on a subtle level this lasts the rest of the day, even if you smoked your joint before noon. To put it more extremely: weed erases your plans for the day and substitutes them with a lazier version. 
Years ago there was this booze slogan: "At the close of day, open the Johnnie Walker" and that's exactly how I view weed. It's best to only light up when there are no real plans between now and going to bed, which for most is in the latter part of the evening.
And I smoked kilos of good pot, so I do speak from experience.

I seem to be more burntout when I quit smokin too.
-------------------- "How do we know whether the life of any creature has fulfilled its destiny? I have known the very old to die in bitterness and despair. I have seen young children die before their time but leave behind such a legacy of love and joy that grief for their passing was tempered by the knowledge that their brief lives had given much to others." "You have answered your own question,Tanis Half-Elven, far better than I could," the Forestmaster said gravely. "Say that that our lives are measured not by gain but by giving." -Dragonlance "Dragons of Autumn Twilight" If we lived in luxury we would grow soft. No human being truely knows their full capacity to love until they become a parent.
