36y old here. I tried MMj for the fist time at the end of March. Been experimenting with it almost daily since. I say experimenting vs using, because I approach things with an engineering mindset since I'm an engineer. I take notes, try to use some sort of control subject, observation, etc.
I found one specific technique and strain that has worked really well for my joint and muscle pain issues. LA Confidential. But I found that there is a very unique phenomenon that happens in the way I now does, my IQ goes up.
Current technique is a low temperature dab on a quartz nail (rooster apparatus) with a very small amount of concentrate. Basically I'm micro dabbing. 0.5g of concentrate is lasting me >30 days with dosing 2-3 times per day, I'm guessing that means my use is quite low based on what I've seen of non medical discussions.
The reason I say my IQ goes up is I find my ability to understand and visualize mathematical equations drastically increases. I've always been good at engineering and decent at math, but on small doses of this strain I get a mega boost. I only recently found out it's unusual to visualize formulas and their graph shapes, I thought this was how everyone did math. I've always been able to visualize, but one MMj the process becomes so much easier. Right after dosing I find myself addicted to studying math, physics, astrophysics, control theory, etc. Basically the more technical it is the happier my brain is trying to sort it out and understand it. I've learned more math and physics in the last 45 days than I probably have in my entire schooling combined and I'm retaining it.
I was always told "pot: makes you dumb and lazy and I have had that experience, but I quickly found out not all "pot" has the same effect... who knew... not me the noob LOL. It's had the opposite effect on me, but I have not been able to find anyone else reporting the same effect to this degree (probably due to most using higher doses). I have seen a few medical reports of small increases due to low doses, but what I'm experiencing doesn't feel small. I've had 1 volunteer test with me and their spacial cognitive abilities were greatly increased along with their motivation. I'm only on a sample size of 2 right now though so it's still quite inconclusive due to lack of sufficient data points to find a trend.
The gain I receive is temporary, but I've sold some difficult issues I had quickly after being stuck and then dosing because my pain level was high. I quickly correlated the problem solving and dosing, then ran a few tests with different strains. Some were similar, but no where near what LA Confidential does to me.
I see research that cannabis effects the white matter in the brain, namely the corpus callosum. Most seem to be negative, but the effect I'm experiencing could be related to this. I already know I'm non hemisphere dominant (whole brained) and also ambidextrous. I'm wondering if the cannabis compounds could be assisting or blocking the transmission between the brains hemispheres across the corpus callosum membrane.
The effects on the corpus callosum could explain CBDs effects working as anti seizure medications (Charlotte's Webb strain, watch the Dr Sanjay Gupta story on it).
I work around lots of medical people, but I have to keep my use private because I don't want to lose my job. It's a bummer because this is a close as I'll probably get to meeting up with a curious Neurologist to run some functional MRIs on me to study the active parts of my brain so I can see why things are so different and the complex/abstract becomes so easy/natural.
Anyone know an awesome Neurologist that want's a volunteer for study?
P.S. if my spelling or grammar is poor, that's just an engineer thing. I'm non medicated while writing this.

The numbers and physics simulations speak to me.
