I _really_ like writing prose while high on editable cannabis. The end result is rarely useful except to document my stream of conscious. I have a private hg mercurial version control repository called "journal" that I have used for the past 6 years.

It is very therapeutic and lots of creative ideas are stored away. Each year gets it's own text file and I write in ReStructured Text just in case one day I decide to make my journals public in PDF form or something. Not all entries are influenced by mood enhancing drugs.

I have been known to read what I wrote the night before and swipe some of the cooler ideas as a tweet or expand the idea as a full post on my public blog.

When I drink I don't usually find myself drawn to writing or coding.

I think the more inclusive version of this advise should be:

Write crazy, Edit sanely
