#3Delta 9 THC is the most common compound in the cannabis plant comprising up to 35% of flower weight. Title is...strange. I was expecting to read about some minor accessory cannabinoid.

#5I just don't like anything with 'stoned' effect. Pot, too much alcohol, ketamine.. I can`t find the point in being stoned or to lower my thinking capabilities. Stronger opiates I would never ever try because there is no point besides running away from some problem that should be confronted. With the help of psychedelics maybe? :)

You seem to have confused “unique” with “minor”. Delta 9 THC may be common in cannabis, but it is unique to cannabis. The title isn't weird at all.
Also, delta 9 THC may be the most common cannabinoid in cannabis (well, in one of three major chemotypes), but it's not the most common compound in the cannabis plant.

Cannabidiol then? Extracts usually have less than 1% of THC content, and its effects are downright marvelous. I doubt though that the effect on the brain is comparable to the one the OP study observed..

My experience is not lowered thinking abilities, but different thinking abilities. If you conceptualize thinking as traversing a graph of thoughts, 'uppers' enhance depth-first traversal, THC enhances breadth-first traversal. This can be a useful mode for generating ideas.

You're most likely overdosing -- something that's very easy to accidentally do with the crazy strong pot out there these days. It's even easier to overdose for newbies who have basically no tolerance and often mistakenly think they have to smoke a full joint (or even just a full big puff of some strong pot) to get high. That's probably way, way too much.
If you are willing to give it another chance, you could try finding the weakest pot you can find, then smoke the tiniest amount you can. If you feel nothing, wait a couple of days and try again, this time taking a tiny bit more.
Repeat as needed until you very slowly and gradually work up to a dose that gets you very mild, positive effects, and no paranoia or other symptoms of overdose.

There are some medical strains that are purposefully bred to have the least amount of 'high'. And also sounds like a problem of overdosing, if you have trouble concentrating or thinking you likely took in more than a few times more than you actually needed which is very easy to do without tolerance combined with modern weed. One hit of high-quality shit these days will put entire joints from the past to shame.
Also there are more than a few people who have a hyper-sensitivity to weed which can make it worse.
