Marijuana flower is just too potent these days. I miss mid grade weed where I could smoke a joint and not feel like my heart is about to pop from beating so fast.

Delta 8 has been nice because for me it does what CBD claims to do, and I have to try to get really stoned on it.

For me it opens up possibilities that my sober brain doesn't consider because my sober brain filters and edits things based on assumptions. So i sometimes miss details when sober because my subconscious brain dismissed those details as unimportant. Most of the time, that filtering process is a positive part of decision-making. I should be ignoring certain variables because knowledge and experience identified those details as a waste of time. However, on weed, i consider things i wouldn't have considered because that filtering process is lessened. So most of my stoned thoughts are worthless, but every once in a while i realize something that i was missing because my brain was ignoring that important detail when sober. It's great when I haven't been able to figure out that day's Wordle....or i realize why someone was pissed at me.

That's actually somewhat similar to the piece that gives me dysphoria! It's like THC makes my body and brain operate at different speeds which I find incredibly frustrating.
