There is nothing wrong with smoking a little ganja before playing or even at the dinner break to calm some nerves.

LOL at the source, NOVA Souteastern University, is this an online University? Surely not a large, research University?

Re: Poker Players Take Drugs

I have friends that swear by taking xanax when the play live.

I think it's nuts - but I have, very rarely, taken adderall to extend the life of a heater.

I'm surprised they didn't mention money laundering, children, and terrorists.

Re: Poker Players Take Drugs

I'm sorry but this thread offends me. Just who are these "poker players" and what drugs are they supposedly taken? Outrageous claims.

My favorite part: "if a new study is accurate, many players will be using more than reading skills to take down pots." lol good one!
