I have been smoking weed on and off for past 2-3 years. When I do it, I do it extensively in a bong and take equivalent to 3-4 joints per day. This goes for a month then I go back to joints. Bong side affects seems much worse. I don't want to really consult a doctor. After leaving for 4-5 days. Things seems to get comparatively normal. I want to know how much affective damage I might have taken yet ie permanent or irreparable. And will it affect me in future?
