I assume most everyone would quit if someone got fired/reprimanded for talking about weed. It's real life, not high school.

It's in San Francisco. They probably buy from the VCs.

Oh, so that's what they mean by "seeding!"

you're naive - silicon valley is on drugs.

and it's also how the Twitter idea came to fruition

I was thinking the same thing.

Guy 1: "Hey man, whatif I knew what everyone was doing right now?"

Guy 2: "Yeah man, like God"

Guy 1: "No, I mean EVERYONE like RIGHT NOW".

Sluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurp.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'll add that a large proportion of bankers, traders, and other high-powered executives that make a lot of money (some of them make $15m a year) are on drugs a lot of the time. They don't talk about it and it's usually not weed (more like peruvian marching powder), but it's there.

Weed? No biggie.

It's when horse or crack are the main topics you may have to worry.

It might also just be a running joke, like "what kind of crack are you smoking?"

... but then this entire submission would be overblown!

I can't imagine it!
