Here's the deal with Marijuana:
It doesn't stay extremely potent for that long. Over time you get a kind of semi-permanent tolerance to the foggy effects of it. You don't get "the munchies" regularly anymore. You also won't get hours of an euraphoric high where you can barely function.
While you won't be near your peak of intellectual ability right after you smoke, you probably could smoke a joint while driving to work if that kind of thing was socially acceptable. It's not much different than taking some anti-anxiety meds before work.
If you are not used to it -- you would be way to high to think about going to work or driving.
If you encounter someone that smokes daily -- they are either an addict or using it like a medication. I draw the distinction between the super addicts that smoke dabs all day in an effort to get as high as possible (they usually drink and do other drugs too) -- and people that smoke more moderately throughout the day.
Reguardless. If your body is used to smoking pot and you suddenly stop. You will have physical withdraw symptoms:
Cant sleep
Irratable and emotional
sweaty and hyped up
not hungry
But im sure lots of drugs prescribed by doctors work the same.
Pot helps with workout recovery and depression (huge portion of professional athletes smoke pot). IDK if it helps with anxiety though...unless you are high all day you tend to get more anxious as you sober up. This ends up putting the smoker on a anxiety roller-coaster they have to deal with. Usually they deal with this by yelling at their romantic partner or severe road rage.
Marijuana is probably the best drug for sleep on the planet. Nightly use will basically give you perfect sleep the rest of your life.
