Hear hear, if you think you're coding better when you're stoned, you're only thinking that when you're stoned. Studies have shown that while cannabis makes you think you're more creative, it actually makes you less creative. This, combined with losing train of thought and having to reread code to find your place before you zoned out makes for a whole lot of wasted time. And it churns out the kind of code you revisit and think "how did this take me 2 hours?". It's a libation, it doesn't mix with work plain and simple.

I didn't say I code better when stoned, I literally said it's not a good idea.

I said that I end up doing stuff that I usually don't, that's a different thing.
