- ak39 11y agoHow does smoking weed affect one's programming abilities (later)?
- Joof 11y agoIt doesn't. At worst if you do it all the time you may need a week to a month for your brain to recover. Perhaps paradoxically, I really enjoy programming a lot more when I smoke and tend to spontaneously work on things much more frequently high than sober. It's not always my best work, but otherwise I would probably be playing video games and I can always clean it up later. It's also not for everyone and I have taken several year long breaks because it can give me anxiety.
- dpc59 11y agoI'd like to add that weed really doesn't have the same impact for someone who smokes all day everyday and casual users. Tolerance is a big factor in explaining the fact that pot heads can be functional.
- Joof 11y agoPartially. I don't smoke much anymore, but when I do I'm still high functioning. Part of that is I know my cutoff point and part may be that I have a great deal of practice doing things high and know how to compensate for the downsides.
- randomnumber314 11y agoGood advice for some people. I don't like supplementing reality with drugs.
- yolesaber 11y agoFair enough! Simply subtract that clause from the sentence and I think you'll still find an effective treatment for burnout.
