I hate “dumb pot head” jokes. Some of the smartest electrical engineers I’ve ever worked with all smoke copious amounts of weed. One of them says he does math better when he is stoned. I didn’t believe him until we starting flinging random math problems at him after a dab hit. I do not question his authority on the subject any longer.
I went to university with a Comp Sci major who looked an awful lot like a very young Prince Phillip, (he wasn’t, this was a US university, and he’s about 4 decades too young) who could barely function at all sober. Give him some weed, and he’ll debug your mess of a program and explain what you did wrong in less than 30 minutes. I watched as he coded, and documented his own OS on LSD over a period of about 12 hours once.
I knew an extremely functional alcoholic like that once. Dude was a beast with computers and coding but he would rip through two to three Natty Daddy’s a night. Super smart but I just can’t believe he can consume so much every night and function like a normal human being the next day. Apparently he would write and fix code while drinking. Kind of seems like a recipe for disaster but sure enough, he gets it done and done right.
I tried what he did once and nursed a hangover for the better part of a day.
