I m 18 years old, and I ve just started smoking weed. Just a few times over a couple of months, nothing crazy. I m the top of my class and about to start college, and i want to know if smoking weed will make me less smart or less able to retain information? Also, any other long and short term effects of using it infrequently? Potheads glorify weed, while government sites shun it like it will kill me. Please let me know.
