Does weed damage the brain and make people more stupid? Some people say yes, some say no. One thing is for certain, weed reduces short term memory and some people can't even remember what they did 5 minutes ago when they were high.

Weed smoking will for sure damage your short term memory during the time that you are high. I also heard stories about hard drugs that damage the short term memory so much, that the person can't remember what he did 5 seconds ago.
