just look at these side effects even though it makes you feel good and relaxed just look at these symptoms::  You need all these skills to work with any programming language.

  Impairments in learning, memory, perception, and judgment - difficulty speaking, listening effectively, thinking, retaining knowledge, problem solving, and forming concepts

clearly it’s either be a programmer or be a pot head it can’t be both


Short-term effects of using marijuana include:

    Difficulty keeping track of time, impaired or reduced short-term memory

  *
    Potential cardiac dangers for those with preexisting heart disease
  *
    Bloodshot eyes
  *
    Dry mouth and throat
  *
    Decreased social inhibitions
  *
    Paranoia, hallucinations
  *
    Impaired or reduced short-term memory
  *
    Impaired or reduced comprehension

funny it made me laugh thanks according to the ballmer peak theory a blood alcohol of around .12 and .14 percent is ideal for coding.  which lead me to the logical conclusion that owning a http://www.awolmachine.com/ alcohol with out limits machine is the way to go if you want to code and not have to drink that horrid strong alcohol any more. Just maybe we humans got it all wrong after all. Maybe we are suppose to vaporize our alcohol instead of drink it.

this machine looks sick it vaporizers the alcohol into the the blood instead of having to drink it. I like it a really geeky way to get your buzz on.

Well, I for one don’t drink for effect… Not going to replace a good glass of wine or a cold bottle of beer anytime soon.
