I have the problem that when I smoke weed, I can sometimes concentrate really well while studying…even better than when I'm sober, but sometimes I'm completely unfocused, and I can't concentrate on normal things because I'm distracting myself with something. Why is that? Is there a solution to always be able to concentrate by smoking weed?

Loading...I have a Spanish exam on Thursday and there is one task I don't understand very well. I have to decide between buen, bueno/-a or mal, malo/-a. When do you use buen? When do you use times? Do you use "mal" and "buen" for things that don't have a gender? For example, the day or…
So, I'm M/newly 16 and will soon be eating weed cookies. I've done a lot of research on cannabis and know a little bit about it. The weed is homegrown and I make the cookies myself/am currently in the process of doing so. I've baked weed cookies before, but haven't consumed them myself. I know…
Can I tell if I have an addiction to something or someone, or can only others see that?
Good evening. I have a math test tomorrow. This will determine whether I get a 1 or a 2 on my report card. I studied for this test for about three hours. The only annoying thing is: I just don't understand it. No matter how much I study, what I study, or how I study,…
Hey, Xyzmann,
Cannabis can sometimes increase focus and concentration, while in other situations it can cause the exact opposite. This is completely normal and is due to the effect of THC on the brain, in particular on the neurotransmitter dopamine. This is primarily responsible for motivation and attention, which is why cannabis can increase the concentration at short notice in small doses, similar to when you get into a “flow state”. But if you consume regularly and/or much, it can slightly “blunt” the dopamine system and thereby impair the cognitive abilities. The attention is then more reduced and the motivation is reduced.
The fact that it works with the concentration sometimes and sometimes not depends probably on the amount and type of cannabis (THC content +terpen profile). And also your daily shape and tolerance of your body can affect this. Every time your brain reacts a bit differently after consumption, which makes the effect difficult to predict. Unfortunately, there is no solution to remain permanently concentrated. Even if you adjust the dose or variety, the effect remains poorly predictable. In the long term, consumption can even lead to the fact that the concentration problems also exist in the sober state.
If you notice that your concentration problems are also noticeable in everyday life, it might be useful to take a longer consumption break.
