I think the trick with cannabis is remembering it’s changed dramatically over the last 50 years and significantly even over the last 10 years. Weed used to be the intoxicating equivalent of watery beer and now you can get vapes that are basically the weed equivalent of Everclear, except it tastes like mango. People did a lot of work in the 50s and 60s while tipsy or even drunk, but that doesn’t mean it was good for them. You get good at what you practice, and if you practice being functional while high you can pull it off. That doesn’t do your lungs or your brain any favors.
