Wrong. This is code degugged, into production and working with no more hours devoted to debugging, pre or post production, as any other code. Do you know anything about programing?

And you would be amazed at the number of hours required for debugging and troubleshooting after the code was written while the programmer was stoned.
Guess you already forgot my post. As I stated, I used to smoke pot. I know the effects.
Now, if you'd like to marshal a few facts about the totality of the situation, or maybe even a statistic or two, and thereby try to construct a coherent, logical case for your position, I'll be more than happy to consider it seriously. But as long as you want to argue based on emotional appeals and silly anecdotes, you can continue to expect non-serious responses to your non-serious arguments. ;)
As you are fully aware, one can find statistics and studies on both sides of the issue, depending on who is preparing the statistics/studies and what outcome they want to achieve.
And as I well know, no amount of statistical information or studies would sway your opinion. You want to smoke pot, so you will.
No, I find it silly that you automatically assume that the pot was somehow a cause of that behavior, when you yourself admit that he had "problems". That says something of the level of your critical thinking skills.
And as I well know, no amount of statistical information or studies would sway your opinion. You want to smoke pot, so you will.
Actually, statements like that only serve to illustrate that you don't "well know" anything about me, but that you'll simply assume that you do in order to try to make your case. Can you make a single post to me that doesn't rest on logical fallacy? ;)
Interesting.
GOA POP going good now. BSAI POP quotas increased this year.
See you on the Bering Sea!

The British govt. (Some Ministry or other involved in traffic safety) commissioned a study re: the effects of pot on driving. The study was done with the aim of showing the British public that pot is unsafe.
The data in the final report, sheepishly released by the same ministry, showed the opposite: drivers while stoned drive more cautiously.
It has to do with the "paranoia" (read, "caution") element of being high. Pot smokers are risk-averse. Drunk drivers are an entirely different animal.
I don't advocate that people should drive high or drunk but I can safely assert that I'd rather share the road with dopers than drunkards, if the choice must be made.
I read of this in Newsmax and here at Freepers. Perhaps a helpful Freeper will locate it for you.

As a reformed pot head, I got to tell you I always felt better stoned than drunk. I was never stupid enough to drive either way. The worst thing we did was order too much pizza delivered to the house.
And you want to talk paranoia...try smoking pot in a military school!
And what are the effects? What does it stop you from doing, being "stoned", or stop you from doing well? My reference to you not knowing what you are talking about is your single emotional experience, from which experience you assume, a priori, conditions of the human mental processes on cannabis.
Like the poster before asked, did you hang yourself in you cell, too? Obviously not. That, with your testimony that you smoked cannabis, makes it pikestaff obvious that cannabis had nothing to do with the suicide.
If it did you would have commited suicide, too. Couple that with the fact that you don't have any idea whether that person would have committed suicide without pot, and you have a hysterical reaction that seeks to blame the genesis on a correlation. Against that conclusion are hundreds of government and independent research results that testify that what you assume is bullbutter.
As I said, you don't know what you are talking about.
