Fleeing Brain.
alright, i smoked weed a month ago back. i hit a gravity bong, and it was my second time ever getting high.
long story short, i think i murdered my memory. and unless if i "lock something in" i can't remember it, so like im not able to remember where i put my cell phone or wallet.
also, if im not preoccupied, my mind wanders, and i can feel like im having an out of body experience.
i have quit intaking all substances that are harmful, quit eating chips and junk food.
any sure shot way to get my memory back, or to at least trick myself into at least thinking im fine?

Pot isn't really harmful in moderation, it kills brain cells, but not enough for you to notice in such a short term. For pot to effect your memory you would need to do it consistently (3-4 days a week over a long period of time). The bad thing about pot is The Gateway Theory. It's the theory (yes a scientific theory, and also shown with much experience) that a person who does drugs is more likely to take something more dangerous. like meth, heroine, cocaine. It's something like 5-15%.
Maybe your just noticing that your memory is not so good, just because your more aware. Now that you've done pot.
If you want to do research you can, Wikipedia has a nice article on marijuana. My family was seriously involved in drugs. 2 of my uncles, and my dad were dealers.
I'm not saying pot is bad... but it leads to worse things. I wouldn't worry about smoking only twice. Moderate it to only the weekends an you should be fine.

I have to dissagree with everything these people have said.
Pot DOES kill brain cells. I have done research on this topic for years.
Whatever caused you to start this bad habit must've been really bad.
Please, for the sake of everyone, stop while you still can. Your only destroying your life.

Please ignore the other answers you've received. They are going from what they have heard, not what doctors know.
Doctors, specifically neurologists, will tell you that smoking weed reduces your ability to learn, problem solve and remember things in the short-term. That means it's not an accumulated thing. Smoking pot once leaves your mind (specifically your memory) in an altered, and not quite as effective state, for at least a day, and often a few weeks.
Obviously it can get much worse for chronic smokers and last much longer, but even just using pot once, does negatively affect your memory.
However, you might just be making this a bigger problem then it needs to be. The longest time research suggests that marijuana effects your memory is about three weeks. Pot doesn't kill brain cells, so your memory isn’t ‘murdered’. You are probably just over sensitive about it now.
Take a deep breath and tell yourself that whatever effect the pot had on your memory is either gone, or very shortly will be gone.

trust me...your problem is not weed. 2 or 3, even 20 times of smoking isnt going to make an effect on your memory. dont get me wrong its not GOOD for you at all but it doesnt affect you that quickly.you probably have a lot on your mind. try going to bed a specific time every night and waking up the same. this will get your body in a pattern and hopefully help your attention. if not go to your docter and see if you have ADD or ADHD.

ive been smoking weed for years now and its taken years to lose my memory sure you misplace things so does everyone else who hasnt smoked weed i stop smoking weed for about a week my mind gets clearer memory better maybe you have a brain tumor you could die!

Personally, I think its all in your head. Smoking weed two or three times isn't going to have any longterm effects on your memory. As you grow older, and you have other things on your mind, its normal to forget and misplace random things. But if it continues, and starts to bring your grades down, you might want to check if you have ADD or something..but I realllly doubt its from weed.
