I see far more people abusing "focus" drugs like ritalin as opposed to smoking pot. I guess I have a few friends who still smoke on a regular basis, but most of my social circle pretty much stopped after college.
I personally can't stand being high. It gave me minor panic attacks and made me super anti-social. Not my thing, but I'm all for adults making their own decisions. I can't imagine any top tech company ever enforcing an anti-drug policy, especially outside of work.
- lcc_tn 14y agoI found myself surprised yesterday reading the thread about Harvard[1] when 2 people brought up how much Adderall is abused there, how easy it is to acquire, etc. Can you remark on exactly how much medicine otherwise prescribed for ADHD is abused by people in the valley? Is it 1 out of every 10 employee at Google, for example? Is it mostly concentrated in startup settings? [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5311168 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5311168
