um yeah weed and alcohol you make bad decisions. coke your on tilt no matter what happens in the game. acid you cant even function enough to play. if need to loosen up a little bit, maybe a couple of drinks. ive tried playing on just about everything and sober is the way to go.

The weed thing isn't exactly right. It's more what the media makes you think. They actually did a small portion study and after just a joint or two people actually drove their car better than without it. So are they really making worse decisions because of it?
I feel like I can play poker just fine while high...
Apparently meth would be the best one, except for the side affects.
In an interview on NPR the author stated that meth wasn't so much a "high" as a supreme concentration of reality: he claimed you could read a super dense text with ease, or concentrate at a hyper level while on the drug.
One month of meth and Skansky anyone?
(if only we can quit at the end...)

Read my Signature ..there's the word's you are so kindly "reefer-ing" to.
~Try 'Bong Water' with some Tequila and a Lime!~ (..but seriously folks!)
But besides that, Eat a good Low-carb meal before playing, (No Patsa or sleepy Foods) and wait 1/2 hr. before swimming with the Sharks..or you end up with the fishes.!
Vegas offers meals to Players as a 'comp.' but the reality is they want them to eat so that as the food is digesting, it detracts from the mental sharpness to play at a more focused level. They do it as a 'Cooler' tactic.
~I just drink lots of Coffee, and Smoke Cigarettes like a 'fiend'.~
I've actually wondered about drug testing and professional poker players.
Performance, endurance, calm-those-jittery-hand drugs... But figured testing would never happen cause the casinos are handing out the drinks.
But if it were to be considered a sport, and not played in casinos--ok, ok, you can blame it on the vicoden.

Caffeine and taurine (ingredient in most energy drinks) will help you pay attention at first, but you'll crash after a few hours. They may also affect your patience and can cause tremors if you have too much.
Adderall is probably the most effective, but it requires a prescription and it's not indicated for playing poker.
Edit: Adderall is not methamphetamine. It is an amphetamine/dextroamphetamine combination similar to methamphetamine. Meth is stronger (more effective), but also more dangerous... gotta take the good with the bad. Both are prescription but methamphetamine is not prescribed very much anymore due to safety. Adderall (or similar) is used instead.

I don't mean to advocate drug usage, but I have played a few tourney's on adderall and I don't think my reads or level of concentration has ever been that high. It was amazing while I played, but it is worth mentioning I stayed up for over 36 hours on it, and that wasn't fun. But as far as the mary jane goes, I don't think its that bad of an influence.

LMAO, Wow! It's like the Jack of spades just crawled out of my computer and said,"Hey man wanna see your neighbors whole cards." ....And then I knew I was high when I started to taste colors.
You could function, however, focusing is out of the question.

I actually agree, I bet alot of money that the people who are saying poker on weed is bad have never really tried it. I play pretty much the same both ways, infact I find my results better when high than sober. Just a thought!
Rethinking the alcohol thing after the loss I had last night. Started off with a double burbon and moved on to B52s. I think I am better off letting someone else encourge others to drink.
Wasn't drunk, but I think I will blame my losses on it. I'll have to conduct an experiment and see if I play better while drinking of without. It takes what 100 samples to make a viable survey, so I'm not so sure I want to try that experiment.
Think I'll stick to chocolate milk...
