From my own personal experience, pot seriously impairs my cognitive performance. I’ll only do it if I don’t have to work for the next 48 hours (eg. a Friday night or vacation). If I’m undertaking some kind of serious effort I can’t do it at all, because that period of impairment will stop my progress. I think if I had a different kind of job, that didn’t require me to figure out a lot of details, it wouldn’t matter. I understand that others have a totally different experience and can code while stoned. But I’m not surprised that the average results would show lower performance if a chunk of the population is like me.

Tried it once and couldn’t be bothered standing up. Not sure how anyone gets anything done on it.

  First time effects of cannabis can be quite pronounced, but with sustained use / tolerance that level of effect is rarely if ever achieved again. There is definitely some variability from person to person though.

I don’t think this is accurate. Surely it depends on the specific pot. If you consume cbd are you cognitively impaired? Probably not. What about mostly cbd and <1% thc? <5% thc? Or maybe all thc and little cbd. All of these will have different outcomes.

  I don’t notice much effects from cbd. Sometimes hints of a “body high” but I’m not sure if it’s the placebo effect. The only thing that seems to matter is the thc content. For me, a little dose of a high thc gummy is the same as a big dose of a low thc high cbd gummy. So I could take cbd on a work night, or probably even during the work day, but it wouldn’t do anything for me. When I talked about pot, I wasn’t taking about cbd, although I apologize if that causes confusion.

    CBD is known to have a modulating effect on THC. Essentially THC on it's own induces anxiety. CBD reduces or even eliminates that effect. My point is more that saying "pot" does this or that is not descriptive enough to draw any conclusions. The effects between different strains and people varies so greatly it's a practically meaningless statement.
