Can confirm. Been stoned AF (deliberate overstoning in Amsterdam). Wrote beautiful essays and had a good night's sleep. Although admittedly some people aren't functional stoners, it really gets into the way for some when it comes to fulfilling important responsibilities. That's the advice I give to some marijuana supporter friends who've seemed to lost the plot. The plant is really something - that remains :)
Thanks for commenting @kevinwong!
Motivation or lack there of is all in the terpene profile of the plant. I eat and vape it everyday.
Technically, I've been stoned for 8 years now and counting.
I run 2 businesses, do 7, 1 hour massages 5 days a week, have 3 full-time employees and now have been blogging almost everyday. I am a high functioning stoner because I know what strains to use for the correct application. :)
That's awesome, even more high functioning than a non-stoner like me lol! I just get physically lazy whenever on it, so writing / reading is best suited for my profile. Well then about strains, that's another level of application! What I know so far is whatever indica and sativa variant i've tried before both have similar effects on me, somehow.
Choice of strain makes all the difference.
In Canada, in order to purchase legally you need a medical marijuana license and you have to buy through a government sanctioned licensed producer (aka grower and holder of genetic material). We then have to purchase on-line and it is shipped to you through a courier or post office. This means, that we aren't allowed to see, smell or feel the plant material before we purchase it. It is a huge flaw in our current system. You can see and smell the material if you go to a dispensary but you run the risk of being caught and charged because it is currently illegal to buy plant material that way.
As a result, I do a lot of strain research before I buy. You can explore strains here:

These are generalizations but Indicas tend to be more sedative, so good at night time or when you don't need to work.
True Sativas are more energizing but the trade-off is often that they will create anxiety, paranoia and make you want to eat everything that isn't nailed down.
Hybrids can produce the best of both worlds, depending on what characteristics are listed as being dominant.
Some great daytime strains are: Girl Scout Cookies, Agent Orange, Bubba Kush and Super Lemon Haze.
