Ditto. I don’t smoke cannabis that is bred to be high in thc, because I prefer a light effect. I use a dry herb vaporizer and don’t have any issues engaging in deep thought work in the morning.
My main concern with long term use is dream suppression. So I do take breaks frequently. Also I think it’s not a good for developing brains <25y. Cannabis is great as medicine for colds, flu, aches and a lot of more serious conditions and chronic conditions.
In the realm of things that I think the government needs to protect us from, I think cannabis prohibition is completely absurd and insidious. We barely talk about alcohol addiction and god forbid we reckon with prolific Tylenol and NSAID abuse — both of which have acute toxic effects on the body.
The deciding factor for that next-day sluggishness, in my experience, has been whether or not I fall asleep while still noticeably under its influence. If you wait it out and then sleep near the end of the come-down, you may avoid it entirely. But then, I never use it to sleep, so YMMV.
A weekend of heavy smoking and edibles can leave me feeling a bit sluggish on Monday. But also refreshed for the rest of the week.
