everyone says marijuana is not addictive, i've been smoking over 40 yrs daily, if i don't smoke i feel like crap, angry, no appetite, so i quit for a couple months, it was very hard, now i only do a few hits at night, but i feel the cravings starting to come back, i fight myself not to smoke during the day, how do i combat this?

Anyone do it? Able to do it? What are your thoughts and opinions? How does working high improve or impact your work performance?

Most people think cannabis ruins your focus. The truth is more nuanced. Cannabis doesn’t magically make you concentrate — it reduces the mental noise that blocks your ability to focus in the first place. Your brain has a network called the Default Mode Network, or DMN. This network is responsible for mind-wandering, overthinking, rumination, self-talk, and all the background noise that makes it hard to stay present. When the DMN is overactive, your attention is constantly pulled away from the moment. This is what makes people feel scattered, distracted, or overwhelmed. Research shows that low-dose THC decreases activity in certain DMN regions. That means less mental chatter, less looping, and more space to actually think clearly. CBD also plays a part by calming emotional interference and helping the prefrontal cortex regulate attention under stress. Together, THC and CBD can create a quieter internal environment where you can actually focus. This is why you might feel more present, more in your body, or more engaged with a task after a mindful micro-dose. It’s not that cannabis gives you focus — it takes away the noise that steals it. But dosage is everything. High doses overstimulate the brain and make the DMN unpredictable. That’s when people experience spiraling thoughts or slower cognition. Low doses support clarity. High doses distort it. Intentional use is the difference. If cannabis has ever helped you get out of your head and into your work, breath, body, or creativity, you’ve already felt this shift. That wasn’t “being high.” That was your brain quieting down enough for you to hear yourself. Has cannabis ever helped you clear mental noise or focus better? Tell us how it felt.
