Not in the short term. There are very few reports of ANY brain abnormality on a CT scan associated with pot. And those could more likely be that those wtih brain damage do a lot of stupid things including drugs.
In the brain imaging studies of blood flow that show changes in the brain from smoking pot, it takes a long time of smoking for that to occur and a longer time for it to get better. One day here or there is irrelevant.
