Brains on Drugs: How tinkering with consciousness became a societal sin
A doctor from a local dispensary (recreational cannabis isn't legal where I live, but medicinal is comically easy to obtain) once told me:<p>“What do you do? Ah, a software engineer. I guarantee you most people in your industry are on it all the time.”<p>He paints a picture where every highly functional modern worker these days is on a steady diet of CBD and THC products, perfectly calibrated to fit their lifestyle and the demands of their profession.<p>Thinking about it, this might explain some of the odder Zoom/Slack interactions you may have with colleagues at work.
