I used to do this when going on long runs. The biggest quality of life improvement I found was that it was a lot less boring to run for 90 minutes. Perhaps because of that, those runs did tend to look better on paper. I always figured it was because I was still “having fun” at the end of the run, even if I was tired as hell.

- icey 5y agoThere were impacts to my mental acuity the day after that outweighed any benefit I felt I got. I will take an edible or vape something recreationally with friends occasionally, but it’s been quite rare the last few years.
- xhkkffbf 5y agoThe mental acuity issue is real. I can usually tell which ones of my friends are big consumers. They're usually a bit bright-eyed with poor memories. They tend to be bad partners at trivia night.
- smabie 5y agoI used to smoke once a day at night after work but ended up stopping for the same reason: weed makes you dumb. I do smoke for social occasions and enjoy it, but even when just smoking occasionally I can definitely feel the negative mental effects for a day or two after.
- bookofjoe 5y agoYou have convinced me. My 90 minute runs, even with music/AirPods, are dreadfully tedious.
