It's just will power man. You will not show physical symptoms when quitting. So it's just a matter of making the decision and sticking to it. This is from a former big time stoner. Good luck man.
As a high strung person, I use marijuana to stay calm and cool while playing. My mind races frequently when I havnt smoked. I am much more patient overall while high and more in tune with other players bluffing tendencies
Really, my pic is a reference to 2 people who are the best in the world at what they do, who also happen to smoke pot. This post was aimed at people saying such things as "weed will not clear your mind and thinking that it will is ridiculous". Even if they only use it to celebrate after an OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL WIN, it should shed some light on people such as yourself trying to associate pot with brain cell death
I can see no benefit to being high on anything while trying to play poker, ive head people say "it makes me sharper" or a few hundred variations of that, and its simply not true, you may feel sharper but whatever your on is dulling some other sense. If youre just out for a good time and don't care if you win or lose, have at it...but if actually trying to make some money then stay away.
