This is really overblown. People who use alcohol but have never touched cannabis likely assume that it makes you drunk like booze. Stoned people have a lower baseline stress level. When you are in a state of decreased stress you can think more clearly and effectively than someone who's mind is clouded with stress. None if these papers want to touch the toxic effect stress has at the workplace, stress does far more damage than any drug.
- pmoriarty 9y ago"Stoned people have a lower baseline stress level." That really varies widely, depending on how much of which kind of cannabis you use, how you use it, and the individual that uses it. It's possible to have a very stressful experience if one takes too much or uses cannabis that's too strong. Some people can have panic attacks, effectively "bad trips", or even psychotic breakdowns (if they're prone to schizophrenia.. and you might never really know if you are until you have one). Many people do in fact get stress relief from using cannabis, but that effect is by no means guaranteed. You might wind up stressing out, and even freaking out, instead. Hopefully, when people use cannabis at work, they'll be doing so in moderation, but that's not guaranteed either -- some people do all sorts of irresponsible or ill-advised things.
