(No report was given for the experienced users, who may have learned to compensate for
the time-altering effect of the drug.) In this case, our informal reports and the laboratory
findings to some extent corroborate one another. It is impossible at this point to locate the
source of this phenomenon, but it is possible that the exaggeration of mood described by
my informants might have a good deal to do with it. Somehow, the drug is attributed with
the power to crowd more "seeming" activity into a short period of time. Often nothing will
appear to be happening to the outside observer, aside from a few individuals slowly
smoking marijuana, staring into space and, occasionally, giggling at nothing in particular,
yet each mind will be crowded with past or imagined events and emotions, and
significance of massive proportions will be attributed to the scene, so that activity will be
imagined where there is none. Each minute will be imputed with greater significance; a
great deal will be thought to have occurred in a short space of time. More time will be
conceived of as having taken place. Time, therefore, will be seen as being more drawnout.
One of our respondents, a twenty-six-year-old secretary, expressed it this way: "Time
is different. You think it may take like five years to pick up a cigarette."
Marijuana's reported effect on memory is one of the more fascinating
Dehydratingmarijuana aspects of the
drug's impact; almost one-fifth of the respondents said that, while high, they tended to
forget simple things, that their memory seemed to be impaired by the drug. Psychologists
divide memory into three zones, corresponding functionally to three areas of the brain;

these are immediate, recent, and long-term memory. The marijuana smoker never forgets
who he is, who his friends are, or where he is, but he may forget what he has been saying
just ten seconds before. Weil and Zinberg pinpoint this speech impairment to marijuana's
selective impact on the various memory functions in the brain:
If this effect can be demonstrated, it is likely that it is, itself, a manifestation
of a more general acute effect of marihuana on a specific mental function:
namely, an interference with ultra-short (or immediate) memory.
By
immediate memory we mean memory over the past few seconds. To be
more precise, the interference seems to be with retrieval of information
while it is an immediate memory storage; once it passes into the next
(recent-memory) storage, it again seems to be easily accessible to
consciousness.

Whatever the physiological foundation of the effect, my informants commonly report it
