Interesting that the effects are so different for each brain. When smoking I am not able to filter as well, I dunno of the filtering part slow or the idea part of my brain go faster. It make me have pint of vue different of mine on subjects. Which is interesting.

    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 interesting, is it an active though process or does it came to you like an flash ? For me it have two mode of working. Active, I am hyper focusing on a subject and keep reanalysing things or passive, I can't focus well for a time period and I feel something is amiss then one day illumination and I got the answer of a tricky problem/sytuation, some time I didn't even knew I had an issue ? I noticed that feeding informations seemly random on and around the subject is speeding the process. Some time I fell like a part isn't contrôlable so I work to influence it. (This skill help me at work)

    It's a passive part of my active thought process. Sometimes it results from something I'm doing in the moment while stoned (i.e. listening to a conversation), other times it is just me pondering something that happened to me previously. My brain identifies new potential reasons and motivations for what I'm witnessing or thinking about. Most of the time i can dismiss an observation because logically it doesn't matter or make sense... Presumably that's what my subconscious is doing behind the scenes when I'm sober, filtering out the illogical. But every once in a while i consider something my subconscious would have ignored that seems logical. It's particularly helpful in understanding the motivations or assumptions of others. I think i am better at reading people and understanding their point of view because of it.

    That funny how close and far our ADHD are, I often suggest that ADHD have some kind of frequency and sometime you are closer to the frequency of some adhders than others. That fascinating to get a glimpse of other peoples inner working :D

    Sûre, for me it is like a wild horse i can put on a track and it go faaaaast, some time I can't speak with human even non ADHD because between' two words my thinking went to far to be able to match my speech. In this state, I only speak by writing, I am not understandable. I feel like I have two part of my brain one I control and one or more which I can influence but not control. So I try to change parameters and see how it affect the uncontrollable part. I became really good at this. I stopped trying to rationalize my thinking process, humans can be one thing and it's contrary at the same time and that great. I think I built a system to manage myself as if I am managing another person and it seem TP work for me. Sorry I am used of people saying I speak to much I cut myself short when speaking to new people. And I have multiple redondant system to force myself to do things. One I hate specifically is one which harass myself to do things. It work but it is a pain. I only put important things. And it escalate. Starring with email, telegram messages, and then calls from an automated system... And I made the reschedule and cancel a multistep process with HTML forms and confirmations emails.
