Memory

[Forkbender]

I was smoking some hash just now and went to the toilet to pee. I forgot to wash my hands afterwards, so when I got into the room I had a slight flash of paranoia, fearing that I would have Parkinson or something. My memory had left me. So I tried to come up with something hard to remember, and decided on my first girlfriends phonenumber. It came to me even before I knew it, the seven digits leaving my mouth one after the other without hesitation. So I lost my fear of not being able to remember (and of losing my pot habit). I guess subconsciously I could have given myself a question that I could answer and be impressed by it. But that doesn't really matter: even if, I know that subconsciously everything will work out, once again proving to me that the conscious part of yourself and the unconscious are connected. Like we are constantly remembering ourselves.

Many people I have spoken who're smoking for a long while have experienced that brief shock of a 'brain error'. Myself I am no exception.

lol that's what i saw once in a documentation in TV about the brain which function was said to be supposed to do exactly what you said: continously remembering ourselves. in other words prove to itself that it exists.

Lol don't get so upset about forgetting to wash your hands, I sometimes get up the stairs to get some water because I'm thirstly, and when I get back down the stairs I'm still thirsty because I actually didn't drink water. THC fucks with your memory, if it scares you that much, stop consuming cannabis.

I've been teased all my life (mainly by my parents) because I kept forgetting things that were "important". That was long before I touched any kind of drugs.

I never forgot interesting things (and luckily I found most school subjects relatively interesting so I kept getting good grades). However my mind never seemed to care too much about stuff like "you have to bring that important letter to the post-office" or "you have an appointment for a flu-shot at 4 p.m."
That left-brain stuff has always been tossed right to the trash bin in my brain.

Interestingly it never got any worse from smoking too much weed (I guess it just could not get any worse... )

I have not been smoking weed (well, almost) for years and it's still the same. I go to the kitchen to get a spoon, but then I open the fridge and get something to drink. I go back to the living room and realize I forgot the spoon. But, as I said, it's normal for me, I already had this before I touched any drugs...

I wasn't, it just started a brainwave, which was kinda interesting hence posted. :wink:

It was also to show that in the end, it didn't matter if I forgot or not.

You mean it gotted tossed in the bin in your right brain? :lol:

Point taken on the interesting things being worthwhile to remember.
