I write my best when I’m depressed. I’m okay with finding alternative routes for that, though weed isn’t one of them. I find weed helps me when I’m doing visual art, but when writing? Weed practically renders me incapable.

Redbull and vodka for devs XD.
Except alcohol, that doesn’t make pretty code.
There is a short time when you are drunk enough to be direct and witouth inhibition and boosted enough I guess. Have to live on the edge.
