I smoked marijuana every day for about 5 years. Based on what I have experienced, the effects of cannabis on the mind are dependent upon the state of mind at the time. It's like a magnification of how your mind is currently 'wired' or operating. If I feel like a creative genius at the time of smoking, I feel like more of a creative genius after smoking - my mind is steady and peaceful. If I'm in a dull, worrysome, stressful, or isolated state of mind at the time of smoking, my mind will constantly move around in all the wrong directions, thus draining my energy.
Recently, I have only been smoking only once or twice a month. I have not noticed a significant difference in memory recall or the overall function of the mind to 'think'. The only major difference I notice between smoking a lot and smoking a little is the ability to live and think "in the now", which is easier to do while stoned (for me).

Another major contributor to the effect marijuana has on the mind is the environment. I pay a good amount of attention to the ever-changing energy of my current place of being. After smoking marijuana, I've noticed I am more sensitive to the energy or feelings given off by the people around me. During periods of a positive mindset, I am affected on a lesser level. When stressed or worrisome, the energy given off by emotions and feelings have a more significant affect (in rare cases an uncontrollable effect) on me and I can be annoyed or irritated easily.

Overall, my opinion (based on experience) is that marijuana only affects the mind in ways that it is allowed to (or how you let it). Marijuana effects all people in different ways, which is one of the reasons I believe it magnifies or manipulates one's current state of mind, one's personality, or one's thought-process.

Peace. Love.
