Some of the most prolific thinkers and doers of the past century were users. Carl Sagan was a user, Bob Marley was a user, heck - Queen Victoria was a user.

If you can produce while using, it's between you and yourself.

If you can't produce while using, you probably shouldn't use while working.

Not sure it has to be more complicated than that...

If you live in a jurisdiction where it's legal, and you have no contractual obligations, and you want to find out whether or not it's good for your productivity or creativity, you probably shouldn't show up to work high for the first time. Instead, experiment on your own time (with plenty of buffer before you need to get back to the office).

Don't do anything to risk legal trouble.

He wrote a pro-cannabis paper under the pseudonym "Mr. X" in the late 60s.
