How badly does marijuana wreck your play?

I occasionally smoke and I seem to play just as badly with it as without it! Any thoughts appreciated!

Many forget Marijuana besides slowing the thought process is also an impairment to one's motor skills. So playing under the influence of weed is no different than playing under the influence of alcohol.

Thank you Bruce for your insight. I’m sure it impairs me. I also just got my 3rd brilliant move and had not smoked before playing ( you can bet a lot of money that I’m celebrating right now though!) lol

I was going to say something, but I forgot what it was.

if you are chilling in your own place and have zero encumbrances you might be able to milk several hours of fun play and concentrated focus

but start to introduce external stimuli (buzzkills) and you will quickly be worse off than if not smoking

there may be some where anxiety is reduced and any “side effects” are minimized because said anxiety was so debilitating

Thank you Daxypoo. I think this is happening to me occasionally with the distractions I. E. My frozen clock or wonky internet connection! I almost always play my games in the am early in the day so I’m not impaired! It sure can make the game fun though and help one think creatively ( but you’ll probably forget to make that brilliant move!) and enjoy it on a different level.

Honestly I think that getting drunk is going to impair you a lot worse than getting high on weed.

Folks speaking from someone who mind altered for a very long time, it is best to get out while you can.  If I had it to do all over again, I would have never started.  Addiction, whether psychological or physical often happens slowly.  The journey is a lot of fun, at least at the beginning, but there are consequences as things progress.  No one ever thinks they are going to have problems or that they have a problem.  It is like putting a frog in a pot of cold water on the stove and slowly turning up the heat.  The frog fries and doesn't even know it.  I don't want to be anyone's daddy or counselor, but I have been on the ugly side of this.  Get high on life is my advise.

Dude, you shouldn't smoke that stuff. I'm assuming that you are addicted, and so you should get help.

I am alcohol and drug free and have been so for many years now.  I was just cautioning others.
