🍁 Weedbusters Vol. 6v – Can You Be Productive When You’re High?

 

 

Can You Be Productive When You’re High?

(Or are you just vibing aggressively next to your laundry pile?)

Let’s be honest: at some point, you’ve either thought or heard the phrase,

“Weed makes you lazy.”
And while yeah, sometimes it does turn you into a hoodie-wrapped cinnamon bun glued to your couch watching a 3-hour YouTube documentary about beavers — that’s not the full story.

Welcome to Weedbusters Vol. 6, where we debunk stoner myths harder than your uncle tries to deny climate change at family dinner. This week: Can you actually get stuff done while you’re high — or is that just wishful puffing?

🧠 The Short Answer: It Depends (Obviously)

You knew this was coming. Weed affects everyone differently (shoutout Vol. 5), so productivity while high isn’t a yes-or-no question — it’s more of a “how high are you, what are you doing, and did you remember to eat lunch?”

For some people, a little THC hits the focus button. For others, it hits the “stare at your hand for 9 minutes” button. It’s not about weed being lazy — it’s about how your brain uses the buzz.

☕ Productivity While High Is Real — Just Ask… Well, Everyone

Let’s check the record books:

• Carl Sagan wrote essays while high.

• Maya Angelou sometimes used weed to get in the creative zone.

• Your roommate built an Ikea desk in under 12 minutes while high and somehow didn’t scream once.

Being high doesn’t automatically make you unproductive. It changes your productivity. For some, that means hyper-focusing on tasks. For others, it means turning a to-do list into a “maybe someday” Pinterest board.

🔍 The Type of Task Matters

🧹 Manual Tasks

Cleaning your kitchen? Walking the dog? Folding six loads of laundry?
Weed can help you power through the boring stuff — especially with a good playlist and no one asking you questions about your RRSP.

🎨 Creative Work

Painting, writing, editing videos, rearranging your houseplants by emotional aura — THC can unlock wild, brilliant directions. Just be sure to check your work sober (because not everything that sounds genius high actually is — looking at you, “edible sushi cereal”).

📈 Deep Work / Math / Emails

Ehhhhh. This one’s trickier. Unless you’re microdosing or have a very high weed IQ, your Google Sheets formula might turn into a quantum physics problem.

🍁 Canadian Sidebar: High-Functioning Tokers Exist

Weed is legal here. It’s not 2004 anymore. There are CEOs, construction workers, and caffeine-fueled startup bros using cannabis daily and still crushing deadlines.
Not because of weed — but because they’ve figured out how to use it with their schedule, not against it.

So if someone hits you with “you smoke weed? Must be nice to have nothing going on,” feel free to smile politely and go back to organizing your tax receipts by vibe.

---

🧬 Science Says… Maybe?

Some studies suggest that low to moderate doses of THC can improve focus and creativity, while high doses can slow reaction times, impact memory, and make you forget why you opened the fridge.

In other words:

One joint = laser focus.
Two joints = you’re Googling “can cats have jobs?”

It’s all about dosage, timing, and knowing your limits. Just like coffee. Or poutine.

🔥 Tips for Actually Getting Sh*t Done While High

1. Know Your Strains
   Uplifting sativas, energetic hybrids, CBD-dominant blends — test what fuels your inner multitasker. Not everything is built for deep work.

2. Start Low, Go Slow
   Don’t be the person who took two dabs before trying to assemble IKEA furniture. That’s how you end up building a hat rack instead of a shelf.

3. Pair with a Playlist
   Put on something you know — music you don’t have to think about. Lo-fi beats, Tragically Hip, or Gordon Lightfoot on loop if you’re feeling extra Canadian.

4. Have Snacks Ready
   You can’t be productive if you’re mid-debate about whether to make nachos or just eat cheese directly from the bag. Plan ahead.

🧠 Final Blunt Truth: Weed Can Be a Tool — Or a Distraction

Weed doesn’t make you lazy. But it can amplify your laziness if you were already halfway there.
It can also amplify your flow state, your creativity, or your productivity — if you treat it like a sidekick, not a crutch.

So next time someone tells you, “You can’t get anything done high,” tell them, “Watch me.”
Then vacuum the house, build a birdhouse, write a grocery list, and maybe — just maybe — forget where you put it. But still: effort was made.
