short answer: no. there currently stands no scientific proof that weed itself impairs memory... rather, it is believed that the withdrawal effects (short term); sleeplessness, loss of appetite are responsible as a lack of sleep or food is, as you all may know, a major factor which impairs memory in the short term

Could you get short term memory loss by smoking marijuana?

Marijuana produces immediate, temporary changes in thoughts, perceptions, and information processing. The cognitive process most clearly affected by marijuana is short-term memory. In laboratory studies, subjects under the influence of marijuana have no trouble remembering things they learned previously. However, they display diminished capacity to learn and recall new information. This diminishment only lasts for the duration of the intoxication. There is no convincing evidence that heavy long-term marijuana use permanently impairs memory or other cognitive functions.
