I used to smoke pretty heavily from age 16-21, and then just got tired of being a burnout. There were three major side effects at that time I was noticing as well from smoking weed. One was that I didn't dream, or rather, couldn't ever remember dreaming. Another was that it felt like my head was always kind of cloudy, and I just wasn't quite as sharp as I should be. Also as someone who just isn't a morning person, smoking weed made me 10x worse in the morning. It didn't matter how much sleep I had I was always tired when I woke up.
Fortunately after about 6 months of not using the stuff all three of those nasty side effects disappeared. These days I might have a toke if I'm at a party or something and have been drinking, but generally I steer clear. IMO weed isn't really a HUGE deal, but like everything else, moderation is key.
