My experience is opposite.

My experience with cannabis use using a simple activity.

Sober, I can clean my office without much thinking and if I had to repeatedly do it, I’d probably do it the same fashion every time.

On cannabis, I’m able to see what I believe to be the more or most efficient way of cleaning my office, garage and rooms. I could probably come up with a few ways or road maps for doing so.

I don’t know what it is. Maybe there’s a higher level of dopamine from using cannabis that influenced me to have so much attention and focus on such a menial task.

I have been told that I’m usually not there mentally and never arrogant; and my friends are pretty outspoken.

You should record yourself cleaning in both situations and then compare. Otherwise, you are merely comparing your perception of your self, which obviously is altered in the second case.

Sure, that would be interesting on some level.

But I see the objective as cleaning the room, not having a clean room, so a subjective experience of being more engaged and enjoying it more is intrinsically valuable.

If it takes a lot longer or the results aren't as good, that changes things, sure, but this can be settled with a timer and a before/after photo. Controlling for degree-of-mess probably adds so much noise that this probably isn't useful in practice.

I imagine that's just perception; as in reality cannabis impairs cognitive functions such as motor control, and problem solving.

On the other hand, Amphetamines would definitely help you clean your office more efficiently; but you wouldn't want to stop there!
