Yea, but experienced daily users tend to lose that effect, unless they really try high chasing and take a lot. That's probably where they're coming from.
There is a stain called Memory Loss though lol, and in my experience it slaps a lot more than most.
The experience of walking through the wafer fab at my work
A friend and I have developed some popcorn lung from cartridge vaping too much, but it was unusually heavy usage at an entire gram in a week. Most people can make a gram last more than a month and never encounter issues.
Heating element seems to have something to do with it. Most of those cartridges are cotton heating elements, but occasionally ceramic ones do exist. Ceramic or a quartz dish on a proper dab rig have never given me trouble.
I definitely remember reading about the trail of tears in a small town US high School
Interesting, I've had dispensary managers who smoke ungodly amounts of weed in the past. One would spend an hour rolling joints to smoke through the day every day, plus dab for an hour, and clearly have Gatorade and the like that was tinted an odd color from infused syrup all day. Plus these people have been going like this for 20+ years.
Never had any major issues with them remembering on the job. It's anecdotal, but I think it shows an area worth looking into scientifically more one day. Could also be body composition based for all I know, still lots to learn about weed out there.
Sorry to hear you have to deal with that though.
