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!
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.

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.

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.

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.

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!"
