I don't know about other people, but I think the
whole dope thing is why
computer people tend *not* to be hippies in the 'dope smoking' sense. I
need to be *really awake* to write reasonably good code ... our drugs
of choice are stimulants not depressants.
Speak for yourself! :-)
(Then again, I have wierd neuro-chemistry - I have modes where I have a large
over-sppply of natural stimulant... :-)
My group (which included Prof. Jerry Salzter, who's about as straight an arrow
as they make) was remarkably tolerant of my, ah, quirks... I recall at one
point having a giant tank of nitrous under the desk in my office - which they
boggled at, but didn't say anything about! ;-)
