i can smoke legally but have never done it in my life. Who thinks i am a ******?

you're a ******

because you think cannabis is some "evil street drug"

but you are probably fine with taking presciption painkillers which are 1000x more addictive and dangerous

pot is natural, its unprocessed. you just dry it and smoke it. it cant kill you.

it might even help you relax. try it

lol ya my brother has never smoked pot but he will eat painkillers lol.

I'm kind of a perfect test subject for this. I play professionally, and literally every single time I play I smoke a joint. Its a ritual and I almost never miss a toke before my sessions.

I don't "just smoke a little". I smoke a ton of weed all day every single day. I am literally floored, but I truly believe it doesn't affect my game. In honesty, I find myself unable to do certain tasks but able to do others easily. Poker is one of them, even though it requires a good amount of brainpower for the limits I play.


Graph since last june (almost 100% of the sample I am very very stoned)



I think that if you have a tolerance and are used to doing work while high it really isn't an issue (I used to get high for all my old mail room/ phone sales jobs). The "judgement" issues that come with alcohol really just aren't there with weed. I tend to be very careful and deliberate while high (even if I am a little slower).

I don't think you're ******ed and I'm not some HUUUUUR DUUUUUUR MARIJUANA LOLOLOLOL kinda pothead, but I think you should at least try it and see what you think. Only live once and all that.

I don't think it's an illegal street drug because it's not illegal and I don't have to buy it on the street.

As a teenager (13 till 17) I have seen 3 friends smoke them self into oblivion every day. It made them really numb,dumb,boring and predictable. That kind of killed it for me.

Also, I have never used any prescription painkillers either. But it's okay to generalize people , we couldn't live normally if we didn't .

Weed isnt harmful, yea u can become ******ed, imo, if you send a lot of money on it and smoke everyday, thats sad, every so often with friends is fine, its like drinking.

Oh and if you grow, you best be selling to break even.

Mix in some hard liquor and your set for life*

*guesstimate at remaining life span +/- 4 years

I tried it a couple of times and I played waaaaay better and I made very sick reads..But I guess it depends on who smokes it.So you should try it a couple of times and if you have positive earnings than here is your answer.

Turns me into a calling station.

yes, thats exactly what I felt, made couple of great reads but also couple of times I overestimated my opponents ( multitabling NL 25)

Smoked it till you get to the normal level of 'high-ness' or just to being half-high?

[ ] I make sense

I've smoked while playing a lot of times and I agree with most things said here. I feel more "in the zone" when I'm high and I tend to take everything into consideration on every decision. The thing that sucks with me personally is that I slack so much with everything else like studying, sleeping well, eating well etc. It's pretty expensive here too so I've decided to quit until I can grow my own. To each his own.

Whatever works, man.

def possible in an airplane, at least in the bathroom

haha ill be sure to post a TR if/when it happens

LOL,you joking right.

[ ] marijuana ITT

Apparently this is about 4 words tl;dr for the pot heads out there, so the added emphasis should be noted again. I'm not the first to point this out but some of the replies to this are just too lol.

obvious level is obvious.

but how much did you smoke?

but what if you suck at poker when you're sober?

I never like to play messed up, be we all have "fun" sessions where we either drink, smoke or pop a pill and play and do not care about the results. Well my friend got me to smoke a J and take a xzanax bar, and WOW did that take the edge off, Bought in for 200 in a 1-2 game, playing every pot for chits and giggles and cashed out 1850 4 hours later and do not remember much. But I am smart enough to realize I got hit with the deck and the drugs did not make me play better.

[ ] smart enough to realize drugs made you play better

jk

maybe if u were playing 1 table of hu and you made a sick soul read it would be like 10x more enjoyable but i've tried to play a legit multi table sess once and i just had no focus, which is weird cuz when i play CoD i own **** lol

but ya drugs are bad mmmmmkay

unless you get specific stuff it doesnt really help. it can be ok for sngs but not good for cash imo. most of where it will help is relaxing after sessions it wont make you play better in game.

*bump* Can relate (not necessarily to the buy in), but totally agree. But I'm on the fence with uppers

well u live in minnesota....
