I used drugs recreationally until I had children. During this time I knew many colleagues that used drugs every week. Some used amphetamines and mdma at parties. Some used morphine substitutes day time during the weekends, and on a few occasions some were high during work hours (the last few hours on friday). They were very productive. Just because you use a hard drug does not mean that you have to take a large dose. I would argue that most people will be more productive with a low dose of amphetamines. On the other hand, I think no one codes better with alcohol. It all depends on the drug. For several years I made a living playing poker, and I played a lot better with morphine in my system. It made me more patient and focused. I even tracked my results in different databases (with pokertracker) to compare my results while high. I made almost 10% more while high, and this is over hundreds of hours played.
