What is the drug culture like at your office? I assume people don’t openly talk about what they do in their free time if illicit, but they may do so quietly or you can otherwise tell.
Do you get the impression many people do them? If so, soft drugs (ex - weed)? Hard drugs? Non-prescribed study drugs? Frequency? At work-sponsored social functions? To an extent that it’s noticeable/problematic?

Drinking is pretty common and is used as a way to bond with the team and occasionally with clients.

Systemic drug use is a NO. In creative agencies on the coasts, I’ve come across some creatives talk CBD and references to micro dosing but those were just that - references. I’ve never come across anyone that actually looked/smelled like they smoked a joint.

You should expect to see drinking. You should not expect to see drug use.

“We don’t test but don’t do drugs” policy announced to you during onboarding, and aside from one egregious incident last year, it doesn’t seem like anyone does anything. Certainly nobody talking about it. And it’s a VERY young and relaxed company.

I’ve talked about doing molly with a principal who was my direct manager on a project. Some uptight people might care but most are chill

In Toronto everyone smokes weed

do not buy drugs if you want to keep blood off your hands. Buying drugs funds cartels that kill people

Might be the wrong bowl but finding it extremely difficult to focus on work post busy season. It’s been 2 weeks since we filed and I’m still taking lots of naps and breaks (I’m talking like 3-4 cumulative hrs worked during the day). Idk if I’m taking longer to recover from busy season bc I’m getting old or if I’m over public accounting (but then where do i go).
