When you know no one will bother you during the day - for whatever reason - and you have a full day of drafting ahead of you…. Do you work high? Or is that an absolute no-no? I find that I get really hyper focused on details while high which can help with drafting, but just wondering if anyone else does this too.

Being high while working would be an immediately fireable offense to me.

Thanks A2, I will look into that.

I’d never mix THC and drafting. Adderall and drafting, sure.

THC can help with focus especially on tasks that need outside the box thinking…like drafting

I don’t think anyone should be drafting super high. If it’s just taking the edge off and you’re otherwise functioning, that’s no different than popping an rx xanax/ativan/klonpin… or someone who takes vics for back pain… I know people who get weird on adderall. It’s absurd that alcohol and rx meds are so accepted but it’s a “fireable offense” lol to have an edible and work. This country is so f’ed up. The same partners who dis associates for using weed are all taking xanax and/or getting drunk every night after work. Working with a hangover is worse imho than being high.

Agreed, and that is what I do. I smoke just enough to take the edge off and work. That’s why I was surprised to P1’s comment. But yeah after work I definitely get very high 😂 which is still better than drinking at night as I wake up perfectly normal.

Adderal and scotch works for me

But definitely healthier with bourbon 🥃

Sometimes I do, more likely to get high for doc review though.

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?
