Weed makes some people clean like crazy, but scientists don’t really know why

This post is part of Mashable’s Spring Cleaning Week. Just a little something to distract you from the eternal dread of constantly wiping all those fingerprints off your screen.
“Stock up on Cheetos and Mt. Dew BEFORE you spark,” a local police department in Kansas recently tweeted, warning “potheads” not to drive on 4/20.
While stoners may roll their eyes at the stereotyping, science, it seems, is on the police department’s sideWeed impairs our ability to think, organize, and pay attention, studies have shown. And it’s not usually associated with productivity and motivation.

Today is April 20, affectionately known by many as 420. It’s the unofficial day for celebrating all things weed. But it’s 2018, and it’s time to take a step back from the haze of smoke and realize that 420 has become a bad internet holiday — even worse than April Fools’ Day.
Brands that would have once fired someone for testing positive for THC now tweet funny jokes about the munchies. People demonstrate by toking up in public. Cannabis companies push their products, and media companies fire off any number pot-related articles to get that sweet, sweet weed traffic.
