Cannabis and poker: share your thoughts

[Syltan]

My opinion is simple and banal, nothing good, such a connection will not lead.

 

[nellorossi83]

I think if you are in a country wich cannbis its legalized, there is no problem play poker or do anything while use it. But in brazil if you use cannabis you are destroying the society and strengthen the crime.

 

[axel142]

bad idea, you need to be focused

 

[igorneia]

the problem with drugs is that it numbs the senses, in the case of marijuana it leaves you injured and with a focus on the impaired game.

 

[infonazar]

I think a player who plays for the sake of making money will not allow himself to smoke grass or drink alcohol while playing poker. Obviously marijuana or alcohol worsen concentration.

 

[Kilmani]

Hey people! I am slightly interested in this issue. But I also think that it is better to be afraid and completely abandon the use. It is better to set up your body, adjust your sleep, nutrition and sports to increase its mental and physical qualities. As a result, mental activity and speed will increase. This is my opinion, but you can take it as advice) Have a nice game!

 

[vov4ik]

sometimes I'm with friends
we use cannabis but this is just to relax and relax at some time, when I play poker I don’t use cannabis but I try to concentrate on the game and not make many mistakes in the game!

 

[Ultfrozen]

Unfortunately, this is not allowed in our country. I think during poker it would only be good and relaxing unlike alcohol when you start making stupid decisions.

To me Poker and Weed is a perfect pairing.

Sort of like Pizza and Beer!

OK, just planned my night.

I think a point somewhat missed here (by some) is there is not quite a 'universal high' as many imagine.

Yes, generally people when high are mentally loose so to speak -their mood is elevated. But for others (admittedly a minority but it is significant) that relaxed state of mind does induce a concentration of sorts. It is not a super focused one as seen from a 'straight' perspective but it could be described as a 'flow state'.

And in such a flow state a number of poker players feel their performance improves. I sense a few here have little idea some of the most famous players in the poker world prefer to play high.


Its not for me, but each to his own.

 

[gustav197poker]

I would not recommend it at all. cannabis has sedative effects so concentration is lost. It is equivalent to taking a clonazepam before playing, when in reality you need to be with all your senses wide awake. For this reason, excessive alcohol is also bad for poker. In this sense, cocaine is better because it activates all the mechanisms of the brain. But in the long run it will destroy you and for something is an illegal substance. So I only advocate moderate alcohol for poker.
Greetings.

Pretty much only play when I'm in a positive mood and have focus to go the distance on some bigger field MTTs. Just asking the question lends itself in a negative connotation. Don't drink and play so put me in the no column for anything that changes mood or thought.

Stuck with the wife, Aunt Flo is in town (if you know what I mean).... and a teenage boy that can't leave the house , so not much side action here

I did hear about this service though... for 3500$ a team will come in with an ambulance, all hazmat suited up , grab you and bring you to quarantine for 2 weeks , discreetly with your girlfriend !

Poker and herb

You know I have to be honest that a small amount of marajuana keeps me in the present tense better. I can get bored grinding out a tournament and find myself making mistakes almost purely because I get tired of looking at cards. I think in moderation it does improve my game.

 

[pokerdebit]

I dont use cannabis and I feel great.
What I do follow is a good diet and exercise
Those two are crucial in managing your stress and "happy" level.
It is underestimated a lot, but when you follow it you will see the difference in weeks, even in days.

 

[fmrocchetti]

I think that depends a lot on the individual and the impact of cannabis on each. In my case, if I played smoked lose everything in minutes!! Hahaha

 

[ThisCuteAsianGuy]

definitely not for me. im a lightweight so I will fall out of my true zone and make stupid mistakes if I was stoned.

 

[manolo salazar]

I am an advocate of marijuana in terms of its properties that benefit humans. But I do not agree to its use while playing poker or another sport. Drugs and alcohol in poker is a time bomb.

 

[popstani]

I’m laughing to myself, I read cannibals and poker

 

[zwerjok]

weed,alchohol,movie,sex its not for poker play

Hi everyone!! Currently, the world society is suffering a resounding canon with respect to the point of view on cannabis, fortunately, since several scientific studies demonstrate the effectiveness it has to treat various disorders and diseases. If we put aside recreational use and focus directly on its benefits, we can see that the CBD helps to calm the nose and reduce stress, many conditions that can cause us the game of poker or life itself. When we try to do our best game, it is essential that our brain is neat and in its best form to give the best of us. I am a consumer and thanks to cannabis many of my problems have disappeared, such as anxiety and difficulty to stop consuming so much alcohol, I do not consider myself addicted to alcohol, but it is a problem in life and more than anything in poker . I would like to know the vision that the world has about cannabis and the relationship with poker.

Since starting back up in February, I've grown my BR from $0 - $675.

I mention this because I have been "on" cannabis for about 90% of this time.

I view cannabis much like Kat Williams does, "It's a plant!"

 

[luiz6422]

after playing I smoke cannabis. The two together are a disaster

 

[diebaas333]

i would imagine the 2 together could be fatal to your bankroll!
