  • I’ve also found that cannabis can be helpful, but as with any medication, it’s important to use it in correct doses at the right times.

    I find that it can be incredibly helpful to get through tasks I would otherwise find too tedious like cleaning or putting away my clothes. It can also help to get me to a flow state on solo creative tasks. That said, it can also make it difficult to focus in more “high-information” situations, such as studying and especially listening to and understanding other people.

    While cannabis isn’t physically addictive per se, tolerance is a real thing and you may find yourself spending more money and, importantly, more time on cannabis than you’d like. You can lose a lot of productivity you’d gain with the time taken packing and smoking a bowl or two (or three or four as time goes on). This can be managed with careful dosing and tolerance breaks but you have to put in the effort.

    Ultimately, if you can afford it and it makes you feel better, there’s very little harm outside of smoking anything, which vapes and edibles can get around. But if you want it to help and not just be a hobby (or worse, a crutch), you need to treat it like medicine.
