I haven't in a while (several months) under any circumstances, but for the last years of my weed-ing, really the only time I would do it was when I was doing certain yardwork or, more commonly, cleaning up around the house, basic chores, painting, or reorganizing a functional space. basically, any activity I have done a shitload of times to the point that it's tedious normally. instead, I would rip it, put on some kinda chill jams, and just settle into the task and take my time like some kind of all-day craftsman so I wouldn't rush. instead I would do it methodically and thoroughly, to my own benefit.
I absolutely couldn't and cannot just get high and do nothing at the onset. chilling would be more of a tapering off activity when the work is done, everything is put away, and I can just sit there and survey the splendor of my efforts with maybe a note pad to jot down next steps or any grand epiphanies.
I used to think I was a weirdo for treating weed this way because my friends are all the type to just sink into the couch for an hour... but I've met my fair share of tradespeople who do the same. like maybe not an electrician (lol) but somebody who hangs drywall or paints or does hardscaping with like pavers. I've laid pavers while high, once all the planning, markers, and fundamentals are laid out and it becomes just slow and steady mule work. basically an activity where you know intuitively how to do it right, but the weed puts you in the "slow & smooth is fast" zone.
also being high would keep my posture and body mechanics on my mind, so I would be a lot smarter about taking care of myself. protecting the back, stretching, staying hydrated, setting up fans/shade, etc. all those little extra steps to make the overall vibe of the task more pleasant in the process and not rushing to completion like I'm being paid by the hour by a corner cutting asshole.
Great for doing certain car stuff too
