How often do you smoke weed?
I’m curious about how popular it is in the startup community (PNW in particular). How is it looked upon generally? Do you think smoking weed can hold back someones career in tech? EDIT: I eat healthy, have an active sex life, exercise frequently, active and happy family life and I’m a productive stoner. I go to therapy and take antidepressant and anti-anxiety medication. Weed feels good and it helps me sleep. Don’t know why I can’t really kick it fully, I can’t say I really want to. That’s why I’m curious if I can just accept it and work around it and stop wasting cycles trying to quit and being frustrated with myself.
Don't ask don't tell unless they say first
No one cares. But it will make u dumb.
I know some engineers who are high a lot and feel they work better that way. Especially for us ADD kids.
That's just confirmation bias. They'd all be better without it, but some people can't distinguish between feeling good and actually doing good work
Make you dumb? Is this accurate?
You can try it on yourself https://observer.com/2017/09/marijuana-long-term-effects-mental-health-kidneys/
Anything that can alter your brain state and bring it into a place where it's throwing I unhandled exceptions is not good for the brain.
Why is that?
Because in a state of unhandled exceptions, it's far more possible to break the machine than make it better. You're operating outside the intended design constraints. The brain isn't supposed to have that influx of neurotransmitters all of a sudden -> leading to the stereotypical pothead effects we see
Unless you want to work for the feds like FBI or CIA it won’t matter.
Tried it and didn't like it Things like exercise, active sex live, and healthy diet work much better for your mental performance.
> active sex life > Bay Area Pick one
Tbh I eat very healthy, have an active sex life, exercise frequently, active and happy family life and I’m a productive stoner. I take and antidepressant and anti-anxiety medication. Weed feels good and it helps me sleep. Don’t know why I can’t really kick it fully, I can’t say I really want to. That’s why I’m curious if I can just accept it and work around it and stop wasting cycles trying to quit and being frustrated with myself.
No problem at my company
Haha awesome! Is it common there?
Oh shit I wanna work for PAX!
I smoke every weekend. Helps to de-stress and it just makes everything better. And I'm doing great in my career, so ignore the ignorant nerds who believe in the stigma. Weed is no worse for your health than alcohol and people even consume that AT the office
Nice try narc
Lol I know - no non-narc way for me to ask though.
