Same thing with weed for me. I vape it and then I can actually sit down and finish a task, have a conversation without my mind wandering or go outside without anxiety. I do have the double whammy of AuDHD tho.

Which strain are you using?

For me it's a double edged sword. Sometimes I finally motivate myself to do some creative project I have been procrastinating, and other times I just get couchlocked or get munchies.

I know I cannot tolerate too much THC without balance with CBD, then I occasionally get the anxious ride. Too much CBD and it's pure relaxation, too much THC and my mind is racing on associative overdrive.

Wish I had a strain and dosage that would have a reliable "therapeutic" effect for focus and motivation.

I have my meds and it's great but I don't like being dependent on a highly controlled substance and regularly go visit some doctor, if I had weed that is close enough.. but I guess if it would exist, somebody would already push it as a treatment option already.

But I totally agree with being able to actually listen on weed. I listen attentively to my wife, or TV shows, or music. Life ist rushing by so fast, being fully immersed in the present for a while is a blessing.

CBD:THC 1:1 with the THC part being either hybrid or Indica (I prefer hybrid, YMMV)

I avoid sativa like the plague. It spikes my anxiety like nothing else

Nice, your "ratio" I also figured out as being a good baseline. Mixing down too THC-rich weed with pure CBD buds, and trying to grow hybrid / well balanced strains after I figured out that too much THC is the problem.

Just still looking for nice upper/downer strains, according to common wisdom is seems that different terpene concentrations affect the high. I'm kind of looking for a chill/wind down/muscle relaxation strain and one motivation/productivity strain. But maybe it's just bro science and it all does not matter to much, except for placebo effect, no idea.
