The folks who issue Maryland Cannabis cards put out a voluntary questionnaire covering many aspects of Cannabis use from type, and frequency...to yes, you guessed it....questions about the impact on memory. Obviously, where there is smoke there is fire and this question is of some importance to those conducting the survey.
No pun intended I don't really remember its impact during my teenage years up until I was 17 in 1969 when I stopped using it altogether.
When I resumed last year in September I was struck by its effects which I suspect are a result of the increased concentration and my age.
Back in the day, I had no problem functioning the next day but now, the effect does not wear off so quickly.
Since I was looking to relieve pain and severe cramps, I quickly switched to very low THC with higher CBD....Pain Killer XL and ACDC which have virtually no THC. I have found that only THC has an impact on my cognition.
I found by mixing these strains with others and keeping the THC percentage very low is helpful. But, that said, I have cut down my use markedly. That is just me. I suspect like anything else, experience is variable.
Recreational use is on the ballet here this November. IT will be interesting to see how this turns out. I don't know if there will be any provisions allowing people to grow their own. I certainly hope so because the legal stuff is about the same or more than it was back in the 60s considering inflation. But, like alcohol, the government wants its cut so I would be surprised if they allow this. Time will tell.
