Wouldn't help me, I don't smoke anything at all because it would increase the chronic respiratory issues that I already have. I'm generally not interested in mood-altering substances anyway, including alcohol.

frankly I do not recommend it, smoking weed impacts my ability to stay focused for a very long time I feel a lack and it makes me tilt more, I must always have my daily dose of weed, unfortunately I have adopted this BAD habit since my twenties, to stay calm and focused and not tilt but I find myself tilt a lot because of the lack and it depend on each person and their situation.
Well, first of all, it's not a habit. I think you'd get more addictive from tea or coffee than you would from weed. Secondly, what's the point of smoking weed on a daily basis? Your brain and nervous system should get a rest, but why do it every day? Smoke before the really important tournaments, up to 3 times in a week, no more. I think it can help with your poker results. :unsure:

I don't smoke any type of cigarette, cigar, pipe or others, luckily where I play, smoking is not allowed, despite having gone to a place that had a special room for normal cigarette smokers, I don't advise it, but, each one knows and does what they want with their health

I disagree.
And to answer your last question, because those who are prone to addiction can become addicted to weed.

Your personal experience and the example you gave (smoked it for a week and then didn't smoke at all... and zero effects). Perhaps it's the same for you with alcohol, cigarettes, etc. Perhaps you're not prone to addictive behaviour 'OR' maybe that's just not something you could become addicted to.
But stating weed is not addictive for others is incorrect. It's not difficult to see that it is an addictive substance if we take a look at a sample of weed smokers.

Check out the table of the level of addiction to different drugs! Both nicotine and alcohol are much more addictive than weed. I wrote that I dropped nicotine on the 3rd try. It was very difficult! Alcohol is evil! I still can't understand why it is legal almost all over the world, as it is very damaging to the body and very addictive. But I don't dispute that it's different for everyone.

I do not smoke and have never smoked. I consider smoking to be simply an irresponsible attitude to one's own health. But everyone makes a choice for themselves and has the right to do so. In my case, I choose green tea, and I don't smoke it :)

I agree, it would be weird not to smoke cigarettes and weed, but to smoke green tea. :ROFLMAO:

I don't smoke cigarettes, and I don't smoke weed either. I don't think it's good to play under the influence of substances. It might be fun, but I doubt you'll be able to achieve good results in the long run. But if poker is just fun for you, then maybe it doesn't matter.

Despite smoking, drinking or intaking other substances could be very fun while playing, everything that alter your natural judgments deviates one from a good poker in a long run.

Smoking good weed and playing good poker are different things. I think if you have a serious attitude to the game, then such questions disappear by themselves. So if you ask this question, it's obvious that you treat the game as entertainment, and therefore it makes no sense to make any long-term predictions or conclusions :)

I also like to smoke when I play poker, it relaxes me, I don't know if that helps me play better, but I like it.

There are things that can compromise your game, one of them is this, smoking marijuana while playing poker is the worst decision, you can lose a lot of money because you are not aware of what you are doing.

Hello everyone. A few words: I tried playing under the influence of cannabis while smoking cigarettes, and I can't say it positively affects my game quality. My best performance comes without any "doping" – but dealing with a bad beat is definitely harder for me because I'm competitive! Overall, I agree that it all depends on the limits you play at and personal preferences. I don't want my words to be seen as a call to action – it's better not to start if you don't smoke at all. Be responsible!

Improves concentration, the brain better analyzes players' actions depending on their position at the table and stack size. Smoking weed is a safe antidepressant, without physical and psychological addiction (I studied it on myself: I smoked 7 days in a row, then didn't smoke 300 days without any consequences for my body and my mind), as well as without hangovers. But the main problem for many people is the desire to experience stronger emotions, as a result people move on to heavier drugs. In my case weed helped me to stop nicotine addiction and alcohol addiction. I haven't used nicotine and strong alcohol for more than 10 years (I can afford not more than 1 liter of light beer sometimes). But anyone who smokes weed will tell you not to even think about starting to smoke. Unfortunately, I have seen a lot of tragic aftermath among my family and friends. So you don't need to start smoking weed to get better at poker. No one needs to do that!
Thanks for sharing your personal experience—it's really insightful to hear how different people find ways to manage their habits and improve their lives. I think your story highlights some important points about using substances like weed responsibly and being aware of potential risks. While it’s helped you in specific ways, it’s true that experiences can vary widely for others, and it’s wise to approach with caution. I also really appreciate your message that no one needs weed (or any substance) to excel in areas like poker or concentration—it’s good to remember that there are many ways to improve focus and mental clarity through things like mindfulness, physical exercise, and simply getting enough rest. Thanks again for sharing this balanced perspective!

Using cannabis while playing poker, especially over the long run, can have mixed effects. Some players may feel that it helps them relax and reduces anxiety, which could be beneficial in high-stress situations. However, cannabis can impair focus, memory, and decision-making skills, which are crucial in poker. Over time, relying on it could lead to reduced mental sharpness and poorer judgment, affecting consistent performance. While it might offer temporary relaxation, it may not be sustainable for maintaining a high level of skill and focus required for long-term success in poker.

Playing drunk is better... this topic for recreationalists should add something to the evolution of your poker skills... regrettable...

I have been smoking cigarettes for over 25 years. I do not smoke weed. I take poker seriously, poker is a source of additional income for me, so I do not play poker under the influence of alcohol or other substances.

You have to do what ever works for you. Can't imagine that it enhances ROI. Normally won't play in a bad mood, tired or sick. Drinking is definitely out of the question. Would think smoking weed would be more enjoyable with other activates. Then again, each to your own.

If you have any mental health conditions, I believe the use of medicinal cannabis is valid to improve the mind. For example: anxiety, phobias... otherwise, recreational use only disrupts the game

Works as well as wearing a silver paper hat. Plus it is suspending the adrenaline.
