Yes, pot does alter your memory. You won't ever get the memories that you lost back, but as long as you stay off the pot, your memory will get better. Just remember to exercise your memory. Short term especially. That was one of the first things to fry, besides the soft parts of your mouth and throat lol.
I used to smoke crazy weed ALL the time and let me tell you....I was hella dumb!!! I quit almost a year ago and although I'm not as smart and receptive as I used to be before I got into drugs (I did alot more that weed.), I am a lot better. My grades are better, my work is better (I don't have to worry about someone drug testing me!) and my overall thinking process is genius (compared to a strung out brain.)
I'm not sure what "Khat" is though....but it doesn't sound good.
Just give it time and exercise your brain, do thinking activities, make your brain memorize stuff. Don't write a list on paper or in your phone when you go grocery shopping. Try to remember as much as you can. The list thing really helped me.
Congratulations on quitting. You have no where to go but up so don't concentrate on what's been done, work on tomorrow.
