Personally, I like it because it reduces the volume, both spacially and temporally, of the thoughts in my immediate working memory so that I can more clearly identify the pipeline of activity that I actually want to do (whether it's work or self-care).

I think that this is the reason that people who are later diagnosed with ADHD so often use cannabis to "self-medicate".

But it achieves this effect in a way that is superior to stimulants (don't get me wrong, I also adore coffee) in two clear ways: 1) it does not change the balance of imaginative vs. practical thinking (whereas stimulants tend to shift thinking toward the practical), and 2) it provides a much more comfortable and integrative afterglow, rather than a stimulant crash.



You work while high? What will you do when the bossman wants some pee from you?


have you ever been pee tested for work?


That will never happen, unless the test is screened for any and all kinds of medications and drugs, then I have no problem.
