For me.. at least... hard to imagine writing code under that particular influence. Not exactly a bringer of good concentration and mental clarity. I've known people who could do it, but nobody I know personally who is a really good developer is doing this? Esp during work hours? Seems counterproductive.

Idk it works for me. Cant really explain it. I get more excited sometimes, in the zone, makes the tedious parts bearable,think about solutions differently. I don't do it often though. It's never like, I need to get high to code. Its usually like, I'm high and some interesting coding thing comes up.

Yeah. I’ve done some handy waves experiments for science (generally don’t like THC as a drug). Watch a super intellectual YouTube video that’s at the bounds of my understanding (e.g. Leonard Susskind’s Stanford lectures on quantum physics). While watching sober it’s intellectually stimulating and I really enjoy it. While on THC I can’t grasp what he’s talking about and I attribute him to be just spouting bullshit that’s made up. That convinced me that THC has a negative hit to cognitive function. However it makes other things feel more awesome and “in flow”: food, music, bedroom activities.

THC affects people very differently in my experience. It can really run the gamut from sedative to stimulant to psychedelic depending on the person. I don't think the sativa-indica dichotomy can fully explain this because the same variety of effects can be seen from a single bowl or bag of edibles.

  Yeah, for me, just not a chemical I enjoy, so. Clouds my thinking, which isn't unexpected, but also seems to do the opposite of what it does for other people: I get anxious and paranoid, and background body pain (I have a lot) becomes mentally attenuated. And yes, tried different strains, etc and it's legal here so I could have whatever I want whenever, but I really couldn't be bothered.
