I feel like I'm in the minority of being able to be at the top of my game during the day, and still having the freedom of lighting a small joint to decompress in the evening.

I've always had sleep issues since I was a kid, and I've evolved from sleeping pills with a TV on to just a few tokes, and I'm out like a light; ready to annihilate the following day. Furthermore, I still get up at 6:30am to go to the gym, read a chapter or two of whatever I read in bed the night before and start work with a boost of energy that comes from within.

Any career professionals, be it IT or real estate, still utilize weed in some way or another?

I'm well aware of the adverse effects on REM sleep due to frequent marijuana use, but I believe the extent of sleep quality degradation varies from person to person.
