Interesting that the effects are so different for each brain. When smoking I am not able to filter as well, I dunno of the filtering part slow or the idea part of my brain go faster. It make me have pint of vue different of mine on subjects. Which is interesting.

For me it opens up possibilities that my sober brain doesn’t consider because my sober brain filters and edits things based on assumptions. So i sometimes miss details when sober because my subconscious brain dismissed those details as unimportant. Most of the time, that filtering process is a positive part of decision-making. I should be ignoring certain variables because knowledge and experience identified those details as a waste of time. However, on weed, i consider things i wouldn’t have considered because that filtering process is lessened. So most of my stoned thoughts are worthless, but every once in a while i realize something that i was missing because my brain was ignoring that important detail when sober. It’s great when I haven’t been able to figure out that day’s Wordle…or i realize why someone was pissed at me.

That’s interesting, is it an active though process or does it came to you like an flash ? For me it have two mode of working. Active, I am hyper focusing on a subject and keep reanalysing things or passive, I can’t focus well for a time period and I feel something is amiss then one day illumination and I got the answer of a tricky problem/sytuation, some time I didn’t even knew I had an issue ? I noticed that feeding informations seemly random on and around the subject is speeding the process. Some time I fell like a part isn’t contrôlable so I work to influence it. (This skill help me at work)

It’s a passive part of my active thought process. Sometimes it results from something I’m doing in the moment while stoned (i.e. listening to a conversation), other times it is just me pondering something that happened to me previously. My brain identifies new potential reasons and motivations for what I’m witnessing or thinking about. Most of the time i can dismiss an observation because logically it doesn’t matter or make sense… Presumably that’s what my subconscious is doing behind the scenes when I’m sober, filtering out the illogical. But every once in a while i consider something my subconscious would have ignored that seems logical. It’s particularly helpful in understanding the motivations or assumptions of others. I think i am better at reading people and understanding their point of view because of it.

That’s actually somewhat similar to the piece that gives me dysphoria! It’s like THC makes my body and brain operate at different speeds which I find incredibly frustrating.

Funny, I like the fact that since I can’t control it I just let it run wild.

I have had different experiences with smoking (which I dropped entirely) vs gummies. Gummies (any edible really) tznd to take effect very slowly over the course of an hour and the high is much more calm than any joint I ever smoked. It lends itself well to creative sessions : as long as I’m able to get started, I don’t stop easily.
