>>12537219>>12537899Sometimes weed is helpful sometimes harmful. It depends on the task and what I'm studying. It usually impairs my working memory, concentration, and attention to details,. As a result, I often make sloppy mistakes or forget my train of thought if I'm doing something like working on a proof, solving a problem, or writing code (which I don't do often enough, desu).
Sometimes though, it makes me more curious and obsessive about a particular topic. Like if I'm working on a really hard proof during the day, I often just give up. Then I might smoke some weed in the evening and the problem I was working on will return to my mind, and I might spend the rest of the night working on the problem and following up by researching related shit on Wikipedia. I think these are actually some of my most productive study sessions. It's usually really sloppy, and like I said, I'll make a lot of silly computational errors, but when I actually come to an understanding of a problem/topic/definition/theorem while I'm high, for some reason it generally seems even more interesting than usual and it really sticks in brain in a different way.
Anyway, I can't recommend any particular strains for doing math. I have the benefit of living in a state where weed is legal, but most people don't. The one piece of advice I do have is that a lot of people just go for the strongest strain with the most THC or other cannabinoids (as you probably know, in states where weed is legal, this info is always listed on the product label), but in my experience the odor, taste, and texture are a lot better predictors of the actual quality of the weed. You want fruity, aromatic weed that is sticky and hard to crumble. You want it to be as smooth as possible when you smoke it. If it feels really harsh and it leaves behind a nasty flavor in you mouth it's shitty. In my experience, those factors are more important than THC content or whether the weed looks frosty/dank in the conventional sense.
