Psychoactive substances, which alter cognition and perception, have the potential to have positive and negative impacts on programming tasks. Such substances are widely used in software, both currently and historically, but this use is not always well understood. This talk covers the research on the intersection of programming and substance use, with a focus on my recent work on the prevalence, perception, and usage motivations for cannabis use in software. By exploring individual substance use motivations, social and cultural ramifications, and the impacts of organizational policy, this talk examines how substance use can permeate all levels of software development.
