I forgot, does marijuana cause short-term memory impairment?
Go away. But … isn’t today’s marijuana much more potent than it was in the Sixties? (Or, more often …. Marijuana is n times more powerful than it was in the Sixties!) GOOD! Actually, this is not true, but if it were, it would mean that marijuana was actually safer to smoke. People who use this statistic just plain do not know what they are talking about. Sometimes they will even claim that marijuana is now twenty to thirty times stronger, which is physically impossible. The truth is, marijuana has not really changed potency all that much, if at all. Even so, the point is moot because marijuana smokers engage in something called `auto-titration.’ This basically means smoking until they are satisfied and then stopping, so it does not really matter if the marijuana is more potent because they will smoke less of it. Since being `too stoned’ is a rather unpleasant experience, smokers quickly learn to take their time and go slowly when they smoke.
