I was smoking relatively heavily in my early twenties (at least once a day) but drastically reduced my use when I started being serious about work. I felt like I was less sharp. Then I had a brain infection that took years to heal(still working on the aftermath). I had heavy neurological symptoms and weed made it so much worse, so I completely stopped. The infection kinda traumatized me and the symptoms were not so far from cannabis consumption : brain fog, memory loss, problem with diction and focus, vertigo and nausea... So now I have absolutely no intention of smoking again since it will remind me of when I was at the worst. I don't regret the years I smoked tho, I laughed so much with my friends. I'm just glad this is behind me.
