"Programs implemented while high contain more bugs and take longer to write (p < 0.05) --- a small to medium effect (0.22 ≤ d ≤ 0.44). We also did not find any evidence that high programmers generate more divergent solutions." He et al. at ICSE 2024.

high me finds it easier to do boring activities though

Drunk me writes good code - my degree, Et Al.

I've had some *interesting* ideas while stoned out of my fucking mind. I can never finish their implementation, but the wild thoughts are fun.

I haven’t tried coding while high. Honestly only because I don’t have access, as it’s crazy illegal here.

But drunk Root is much less stabby, and much more okay with boring tasks (which is like all I do now). Meetings are also easier, too, because I feel silly, talkative, and no longer give a crap. … and that makes it really hard not to make jokes, which usually land me in a meeting with HR for offending some hypersensitive landwhale cunt. Oh well~. That just means more drunk Root to put up with that, too.

I've coded while merry, but not sloshed on multiple occasions and it's a reasonably good state to be in for the ideas to flow. But not so good for quality - write drunk, edit sober is very much applicable.
