Been playing many games under influence of mota(loud). Seems to degeznerate my skills. Was wondering if amphetamines might cause a jolt a resurgence in mental prowess?

Any recreational drugs hurt your game

A recreational drug user, makes as much sense as a recreational serial killer.

this is an edgy topic op

 

I can't imagine it helping.  but then I am inexperienced in the world of drugs.

I HAVE heard that about meth.  better; a slightly more legal (though still ILLEGAL and unallowed in tourney OTB)  are stuff like adderall.

 

getting a tiny advantage over your opponent should not be worth hurting your body IMHO.

I find that weed often helps by making me ultra-focused. sometimes it backfires because I concentrate so intensely on a particular line or plan that I fail to notice unprotected pieces elsewhere on the board

the analogy makes no sense whatsoever. why can't drug use be recreational? it is for most people.

I would think anything that enhances focus without intoxication would help... I don't know if the focus that weed gives can happen without intoxication...
I wish I lived in Colorado:)
