I smoked pot a few times then and I had to stop. It interfered with my ability to handle all of the pressure and left me sort of buzzed and anxious the next day at work when I had to meet with and present to a lot of execs.
Also pot is a drug and precautions have to be taken as with any drug. I know with drinking alcohol I do not have the tolerance I once had. I've been told that as one ages their tolerance for alcohol can lessen resulting in greater hangovers and all. I don't know, but maybe the same is true with pot, that less is more.
BTW, I'm perfectly OK with the legalization of pot.
