Hi geekout. I tried you via email but I have a protonmail account now. So if you want to reach me there it's eilenez@protonmail.ch Thanks, Eilene

I'm going to reach out now, thanks.

thanks, I'd like to email you to the address in your profile, ok?

no problem...

What kind of work do you do?

I have worked as a developer in EDA, educational software, and streaming video. Mostly writing code in C++ and Java.

Would you be comfortable giving some general details about what you do, in what kind of company you work and how long you've been in the industry? (It helps e to qualify your opinion in some way... )

Sure... have worked over the last 15 years in software startups and large companies as everything from an engineer to an adviser.

Are you aware of others in your company or at other companies that also use cannabis as much as you? Or are you aware of people using narcotics/amphetamines?

Based on my understanding of the Bay Area, where I've worked, my usage is definitely more frequent and in larger dosages than 99% of employed individuals, but many people consume cannabis on a semi-regular basis. Dunno about the narcotics or amphetamines, it's not something I hear about regularly.

How long ago was this? (also, how awful)

2 years ago, Seattle WA. I am glad those days are over.

I'm glad (for you) too.

I would love to see a study too.

If I sound like an idiot, forgive me, but you mean, literally, contractors that have to physically climb towers, right?

Yes, the people who do the physical installation and maintenance of antennas and lighting on cellular towers, for the most part. Also repair/maintenance for mobile radio systems (public safety), AM/FM radio, etc.

thanks for the link. And I have found meth is alot more common, it seems, in the gay community.
