Weed only. Only when working on rough-draft/poc code. Oh, and making architecture diagram.

I can either see the big picture clearly, draw.

Or I see the narrow problem in detail. Crank that Boston+Rush playlist and code one component complete but rough.

Also, sometimes I've got to grind through managerial paperwork, so reefer there too.

When I moved to Seattle I learned of a "Northwest speedball" - espresso+weed.

Oh and I use alcohol at nearly every sales/networking function.

I like your seeing the big picture remark. I've felt before like I best understood a system, high. Mostly for me it makes for half refactored code. It's better to smoke and browse documentation/learn.
