Many of the best engineers I've worked with are daily pot smokers, including my former boss who currently runs a team at Facebook.

Agreed, super anecdotal but I'd be curious to know when your former boss started smoking - in my (also anecdotal!) experience, that is a key determinant to a lot of negative behaviors.
