Marijuana and Brain Death

I have been a daily marijuana smoker for more than 9 years. I am 25 and I work in a job which does not require much brain work. I feel like I am much less intelligent than I used to be and I have that stereotypical pot-head dopeyness and lack of short term memory thing going on. It’s embarrassing and I worry about permanent brain damage. If I quit smoking marijuana entirely will my brain recover and will I be as sharp as I used to be in the pre marijuana days? I think I need to get my life on a different pathway but I am concerned that I’ve really harmed myself after all these years of heavy toking.
