I used to smoke daily, I rarely played poker back then.

Nowadays when I have some it's not always mellow, it can be like an acid flashback, so I tend to avoid it.

A good amount of excercise daily and keeping on top of my daily duties is enough to give me a psychological edge these days.

Agreed!

I recently got engaged to a noisy but beautiful american girl so have been spending a lot of time in California while our marriage visa is granted (im english btw). We went to one of the many legal cannabis dispensaries they have there and my mind was blown! Such amazing informed service with some of the best bud ive ever seen! Got a great deal too!

Im a reasonably new yet dedicated poker player and i found a little smoke before a session really helped me to concentrate. It might sound bad but I find playing poker with a totally sober mind can be at times less engaging than if you have a little buzz of some form going on. I used to have a few beers while playing which i found loosened me up some what and gave me a little more courage when making decisions. Thats all well and good but when you push it a little too far and lean more to the side of being drunk those previous brave decisions slowly turned into idiotic and often suicidal ones.

Im excited to eventually move to California and have access to the good green thats available.. My poker game will hopefully grow just like the plants do =)

Interesting. If I'm playing online I think it helps me a bit with playing straightforward poker to cash at SnGs. I'd prefer not to if I play live because I feel I'd get too nervous for no reason.

eating while playing poker I don't like is to completely stop thinking.but Yes, music can help some songs just to drive the TRANS that have a big impact on my game.hemp don't smoke just don't get pleasure from it (tried different).only his own snuff here is a thrill))

I am against all other drugs than cannabis because it basically causes no deaths, way less addicting than other drugs and it doesn't turn you into abusive monster. And still, it is illegal in my country unlike alcohol and tobacco.

But with poker? It may actually help IF you are suffering from some form of anxiety or if you just can not relax at the table. I rather describe it as "medicine" in this case.

Cannabis and Poker are two combinations that combine the skiils of equit and the pacience to control the nervousness.
I prefer smoking it instead eating,so when I register in a tourney I just fire the weed up and play smoothly and generally I don't get nervous after losing with AA KK or QQ.

CANNABIS is not a drug ,It is just a plant that can be used for humans that prefer it to themselves , so if someone prefer the plant respect its opinion and don't,t call it drug (drug is a heavy word for marijuana) the CANNABIS was unfairly banned in the beginning of the 19th century ;It could have healed too many diseases included cancer.So please respect It, Cannabis is here in the world to help us not to hurt .

If you do not go into the analysis of specific cases, then in general, eating, drinking, listening to music, movies and other moments negatively affect the quality of the game, since this is an additional burden on your brain, which reduces concentration on the main process - the game in poker! Of course, there are exceptions, since not all people are the same.

It depends on the type of weed, i
indica [/ QUOTE] will help you focus on what you're doing, but not overused because if you get used, you will be dependent, and live tournaments do not know if it will be very good

Lol are you serious right now?

First, if you know how to properly feed your cannabis and how to properly flush it of harmful fertilizer salts then there is no danger to health

Harmful for mental health?? Do you just spew propaganda with no real research on the subjects?

Cannabis has been proven to stimulate areas of the brain that people usually never use on a day to day basis

I'm 40 and have been a cannabis user since 14, and I have actually done real research on this subject.

But you did say that your statements were OPINIONS, and that's the only truth to your post, oh and that your friend grew shitty over fed chemical cannabis
