The OP is asking about 8 different questions...

Lets unpack some of them...

Will VCs be more likely to invest if they know you're a pot smoker? Unless they are also a pot smoker probably not. Pot is associated laziness.

Will VCs be more likely to invest in your crazy idea you had while high? If they don't know you had it while smoking pot then probably.

Is smoking pot good for writing bug free boiler plate code? Not in my experience.

Is smoking pot good for making revolutionary breakthoughs by approaching the problem from a new angle? Possibly.

Can you endear great engineers who smoke pot by having a 420 friendly culture? Most definitely.

Realistically, if you want to smoke pot then smoke pot. Your startup is a lottery ticket, smoking pot doesn't change the odds in any significant way. The asking for permission attitude seems more detrimental than pot smoking ever could be.
