Hey I am not sure if I am allowed to post this so admins/mods please correct me if I am wrong and I apologize for my mistake. My question to you guys is how many of you enjoy cannabis (medical of course) while you play poker? Do you think it affects your performance at all in Negative or Positive ways. Personally I am able to shrug off bad beats a lot better than when I am sober. Was just curious as to how other players react.

I am opposed to marijuana, and not only so, I believe that you should not play poker under its influence!

Why do you believe a person should not play poker under it's influence?

I mean who cares? Why would I be concerned with what someone else is doing? It's their choice... they can do as they please imo.

Personally I don't smoke marijuana but I'm definitely not opposed to it at all. On the contrary... I'm all for it! Freedom of choice!!

OK, so I'm not a marijuana smoker/eater/juicer (or what have you) but I cannot conceive of how it could possibly help your game. However, I'd be quite happy to play stone cold sober against a table of high players any day. Let me know the time and place - I'll be there.

I don't take anything that alters my state of mind while playing poker. That includes cannabis, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol etc. Drugs and gambling just don't mix in my opinion. Especially with a game that's so revolved around decision making.

Well I guess I'm the only one who plays while smoking a joint. Matter a fact I'm high most of the time I play. Now I will let the players I play against answer this question does it effect my game? Because I'm pretty sure I'm on top of this quarters money list. I believe it helps slow my game so I don't rush a bad decision. I'm playing at the top of my game anyone disagree :cool:

for medical reasons, of course (COF COF) lol

just kidding.. but I used it a couple of times and my brain just got slower and I was a lot less capable of mantaining my concentration on the game

I really think it's not very good for your bankroll to use it and play under the influence, what makes more sense is to take something that activates your brain, raise the level of dopamine and keep you focused, like ritalin. Marijuana also raises the dopamine and endorphine levels (if I do remember correctly), but it also affects your short term memory, and just that side effect may hugely affect your performance.

But good luck anyhow!

I named on of my accounts like 420weedgod or something and I tell you people kept calling raises thinking I was some stupid pothead or something and I walked away with bank every single time. Sober people get really pissed knowing the fact they still can't outplay someone who is high as hell when it happens. Some people just can't handle their weed and act/play normal just like some people can't handle their alcohol. Everybody is different I suppose most just can't handle it mentally and still think clearly.

In a recent case study conducted at the university of New New York, Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth and his assistant Dr Zoidberg administered a large dose of the mind altering soft drink Slurm (TM) to a test group. A control group of equal number were given a placebo.

The entire group were asked to perform various tasks:

Calculate the odds of getting a flush draw with AKs preflop on 9 seat NLHE table.
Find a working password for any freeroll game.
Figure out how to make a pokerstar/poker school account and get it to work in less than 3 earth days.
Plot a course on a starmap to New New New Las Vegas on the Hawaiian pleasure planet Iwanahockalugie.
Bite Benders shiny metal a** (a personal request, not mandatory)

No single test subject managed any of these things, partly due to the control subjects being selected from a group of 160 year old residents of the artificial planet, Near Deathstar. None of them could remember their own names, and all of them had to be shot at with a bowel disruptor cannon to even pass gas. The results of these tests were almost 99.9% inconclusive, and since 99.98626553% of all percentages are made up, this study proves beyond a doubt that this study was a complete and utter waste of time.

Bro quit smoking, it's unhealthy and it's lie that marijuana isn't noxious. It's shit and if you smoke to much you're lungs collapse one day or police will arrest you. I don't badly wish you but these are facts :/

I already do not agree to the use of any substance that may alter the consiencia and player behavior so I am against the use of such substance while playing poker and socializing with other
