For me it's not a matter of coding while high, but pot does make me a more effective programmer overall. When stuck with a hard problem, smoking allows my creative side to come out more, and attack the problem from angles that I couldn't even consider while sober. Sometimes that doesn't work, and I go for a run. Sometimes that doesn't work, and I just need time.
But pot remains a primary tool in my toolbox for tackling difficult programming challenges.
