It has been brought to my attention by several coworkers that most of them find cannabis--thc specifically--makes time go much faster for them. The day flies by compared to normal. I'm just the opposite. Any amount of thc stretches time to its limits. It makes the day feel so, so long. Even a little bit of H4CBD has me in the time tunnel. I feel like I'm gonna be here forever. I'm curious if I'm in as much a minority in the grand scheme of things as I am in this building.

I’m same as you. Time perception slows way down. It’s one reason I enjoy it. Watching two movies at night after smoking feels like I had a whole day off.

Interesting. At home it doesn't have the same sized effect. When I don't have to be doing and paying attention to a bunch of shit, I have a pretty good sense of time. Stoned or sober, I usually know the time off the top of my head within ~10 minutes. I know because my wife thinks it's neat and likes to test me. But at work all the details grow to enormous size and duration. I'm so caffeinated and going so fast that the world gets slow around me. It makes me even more Flora from I'm a Virgo than usual.

I watch movies and shows in 20 to 30 minute increments. I love that "oh boy, this is going to be good" feeling when you first turn it on but that fades. That's why I break it up. Much more total enjoyment.
