Why would work not be getting done? It's just a weed stereotype. Some people are inspired or more productive after smoking.

It's true. They should be piping the smoke into classrooms.

  It's not good for teens or people before 25. Again you're trying to be silly when a serious discussion is what is required.

Have smoked for several decades. If you think weed does not affect productivity, then you haven’t smoked enough of it. If something can have a positive effect it can also have a negative effect. The idea that weed is a net positive with no downsides just isn’t reality.

  Most people have jobs where most of their cognitive capacity matters not one whit. You can stock shelves or do office work while stoned out of your mind (and people do). For some reason we don't love the idea, but tbqh these jobs are broadly torture anyway - so why are people not allowed to make them bearable?

  For all we know people are being smart and smoking high cbd strains in the morning.

  I've seen you comment so many times and I honestly can't tell if you're serious or a parody account

When I use cannabis I just end up coding or working on my homelab for hours straight, I think it's wonderful for my productivity

My experience with THC is that it has a pronounced Ballmer Peak (see xkcd), with a higher high (heh) and lower low than alcohol. At just the right level and with the right environment (and jazz fusion album) it's a shortcut to flow state and serendipitous lateral thinking, but overshoot that and you'll just be forgetting what local variables are in scope..

Well, you said it. Some people. I was a stoner for all my 20s. A toke and the hardest thing I could do was play video games and eat junk food. Meanwhile, my stoner mates would work on their side projects until deep into the night. We're not all cut from the same cloth.

  Yeah but those outcomes would be similar even if you didn't smoke. Everyone has different levels of intrinsic motivation.
