Agreed. This is part of the reason why I haven't tried it, but I have to trust my own judgement. There's a stigma about marijuana in our society, so I can't use it without being ostracized even though I had more mental clarity when I used it. Popping pills isn't bad though! Pharmaceuticals have their place, but there are a lot of natural alternatives out there.

"Group Conclusion
After doing research to determine whether or not marijuana affects cognitive processes, we conclude that in fact marijuana does have detrimental affects on the brain and cognitive functioning. Specifically it affects short-term memory, long-term memory, and the ability to learn. Studies have helped to provide evidence that chronic use of marijuana can permanently damage regions of the brain, especially the hippocampus and cerebellum."
