Drinking and Smoking during Tourneys

[ScooperNova]

i dont think its a good idea to mix alcohol and weed during tourneys, as they said if you play for fun its ok, but in real tournaments i would never do it.

about the addictive stuff.. like ricky said.. marihuana is not addictive, (dont tell me i should look for help cause its more than a year i havent smoke and i only do not smoke because i dont have a time to smoke and relax xD) person who get "addicted" its not because of the marihuana, its because they compensate some type of frustrations in their lifes with the pleasure that it gives you, but dont misunderstood it, marihuana is not addictive

You just said marijuana isn't addictive but people get addicted to it. I can't understand the disconnect. It seems like you may not understand what addiction is.

Edit: from some of the replies here, I'm going to postulate that weed destroys the part of your brain that controls spelling and expressing a simple thought. This post was pretty decent in that regard though, right? Seems different things affect different people different ways.

Maybe your not understanding the word some? Some people are prone to addiction. Gladly, it seems you are in the other category. I'm happy for you that you're not addicted. Maybe you should overthrow the institution of modern science, because that's who you're arguing with. Or we can all just go with the addicts of every substance on earth. Nobody says they are addicted. It's called denial and it's literally the first sign of addiction.

Oh please... The own title of the article YOU posted a link to says marijuana addiction is rare. Not only that, I believe marijuana is only psychologically addictive, not physically addictive. Physical addiction is worse, and it's part of what makes drugs like nicotine, heroin, crack, meth, and others so destructive.
A psychological addiction can happen with any activity, hobby, etc. I am addicted to poker more so than I'm addicted to weed, and I can recognize that. Addiction doesn't mean denial. People who are addicted to something often admit it. Not all of them deny it. Many know they are addicted, but they just can't quit whatever it is they're addicted to. You have such a one track mind it's pathetic.

Your first paragraph confirmed every word I've said, but you were trying to argue the point. Sadly, you made the exact points I made and didn't even realize it.

Also, I've seen your recent posts on the forum, and I would suggest turning down the douchebaggery a bit. If you like insulting people who are making intelligent posts that add to the discussion, you'll find more people of the same mind at 2p2. Things around here are generally more mature. People don't generally get all in a huff when someone makes a post that they don't agree with.

Also, gambling addiction is a very serious problem for many people, so the poker addiction quote you made doesn't lessen anything as you intended it to.

If I want to drink I drink if I want to smoke tobacco. I owe nothing to anyone, I paid all consumption.

 

[ScooperNova]

Ok, I just read my last post, I'm a douche too.

It didn't start out about addiction, but you helped it take that direction with your misinformation.

smoking some weed in yr home and playing online is OK :smokin:

 

[milka1605]

Right here you said that any occupation when playing poker distracting. I even avatars the table tidy, so it is easier to make decisions. But television does not bother me. And any muck never himself not baiting. I conduct a healthy way of life and you wish to.

 

[Tosh_67]

I do drink a little when I play and it defo makes me play more AG... Too much tho and the concentration and focus goes out the window...

[11012015]

All players are different.

 

[ScooperNova]

I agree.

As unlikely as it sounds, considering my posts in this thread, so do I.

 

[ScooperNova]

I agree that it seemed unlikely.

Put it in the air.

Weed is not a drug its a herb the seed was given to us to burn and use

I been high since 1997 I cant play poker without weed

 

[almanik]

I never smoke home. At all. But I can drink beer or some other alcohol during playing poker. Don't think that it make my game better. But sometimes it's fun to play when you drunk! ))

You're not supposed to burn the seeds.

 

[rickypr18]

You're not supposed to burn the seeds.

If you have flowers with seeds, that's a sign of shitty weed.

 

[jazzaxe]

You can add painkillers and anti depressant drugs especially if you have exceeded your prescription. These would make me tilt like anything.

Lol. Tell that to the guy who is smoking them.

Smoking weed is for the weak, only idiots smoke weed, what a waste of money.

Tell that to cancer patients, people who suffer from PTSD, and kids who suffer from epilepsy. Ignorant ^&*(

 

[bunetae1986]
