"I want to remember what we’re talking about!"
I am not sure you can give a one size fits all answer to this question. First, someone might be able to take high does of THC and never have short term memory loss, perhaps they have a higher tolerance or perhaps they just do not experience this. I might say that if you experience short term memory loss that this has more to do with the dosage and frequency of use.
If you like to smoke flower (or vape), you might try smoking a flower that is higher in CBD which could reduce memory loss. If you are smoking high THC smoke less. If you are taking edibles consider microdosing over a longer period of time rather than a high dose in one sitting. Edibles today also can be purchased in higher CBD ratios as well.
I hope this helps!
