Then again everyone's mind goes through different experiences. so...it's probably best to just take things on a per situation perspective.

Indeed! Me too. Most of the dreams I actually do remember end up being lucid.
I suffer from poor recall but lately I've noticed despite smoking even "way too much" and too often for my standards, if I sleep LONG enough I have dream recall.

This could be because the effects of the THC dwindles the longer I sleep.

Since I started smoking weed I've had about a 90% decrease in lucid dreams (due to lack of recall at all).

I sometimes think of quitting to lucid dream again

How often do you toke up? Because I find taking regular breaks helps keep dreaming fairly memorable. Whereas toking every day (and a moderate to high amount per day) does tend to decrease recall.

The decreases will probably continue just like someone who [newly] smokes weed isnt "burnt out" but after years and years becomes burnt. I think this long term effects on your brain will also effect your ability to become lucid, if not yet, eventually. May I add that is based on personal concept and slight experiences [smoking over years].

THC doesn't really exert many long-term effects upon the brain besides a mild increase in Neurogenesis which is not a bad thing.

Unless you view being "burnt out" as a changed perspective of life, there is no such thing.

P.S. I don't smoke cannabis.
