I have to be completely ripped for anyone to be able to tell at this point. The stereotypes of giggling clueless stoners is really only true for early on in ones weed career or very occasional smokers. After a few years of smoking, functioning normally while high isn’t the problem, at least in my experience. The majority of my coworkers in most of the jobs I’ve had were either stoned all the time, functional alcoholics, or both. Obviously that’s anecdotal, and I do work in tech, but even if the average is just half my experience there are a ton of people working high everywhere
I’ve smoked weed for a long time, not hugely regularly but maybe once a week or something. When I’m high, my masking (ADHD/autism) goes completely out the window, so I talk all sorts of nonsense. Would not be able to pass as sober lol.
That’s actually wild to me, also ADHD/autism, but if anything I’ve gotten better at masking since I started smoking daily. But everybody’s brain reacts differently, definitely get abstaining in that case though
I don’t think it’s reason enough to abstain completely, just something I should do at home when i’m chilling and not gotta interact with poor unprepared people who don’t know me hehe.
The two friends I have with ADHD behave in a really similar way. All three of us just have a conversation with ourselves featuring little bits and pieces from the other people’s conversations… meanwhile my neurotypical friends are just chilling quietly.
Could also depend on sativa/indica of course!
