That's fucking stupid. I see no reason to think an engineer/facility is less capable just because there is weed smoking going on. Again, I love it when people have no idea what the fuck they are talking about and have nothing but unfounded bullshit to call upon for their information.

Whoa now buddy, breathe! I'm pretty sure he didn't make any assumptions about weed smokers.
For the record, my closest three friends are potheads. I do the weekly thing now, not every day. I didn't enjoy it on a regular basis.
While you may feel comfortable smoking in your studio and clients may not mind, you are still breaking the law. You will never know when a client is comfortable or not with it. You also never know the kind of insecure nut job you will have that might call the cops on you.
If I worked in a high end production place, with high end clients who bring in serious $$$ (afterall, that is what you are working towards anyway), I wouldn't dare to break out smoke unless it was a collective effort and everyone was cool with it.
Also, you can make a generalization by saying "it's dumb to think that no work can get done because they are smoking pot..." But like we have said in earlier discussions, pot affects people differently. I know people that can smoke every day and carry on normally. If I did that I would be unproductive, lazy, and broke. I might develop a strong tolerance by that point and be able to work normally, but I'll never be to that point anyway.
Oh, I'm going back to Amsterdam in September...can't wait!
