Re: Playing under mind altering substances
I find clonazepam can reduce my tilt factor by about 10,000%. Since that stuff is crazy addictive and bad for you I've only tried it three times, but all three times it gave me the relaxation and patience to get unstuck from brutal sessions (-30BB or worse).
I'm up lifetime on LSD (insignificant sample size). |

Re: Playing under mind altering substances
Smoking pot can improve focus, and reduce tilt for short periods of time, but when you come down the concentration goes completely out the window. Of course it depends on what your smoking, but if you wanna play long sessions I would advise to keep well away from the strong skunk cos it fucks you up.

I smoke a fair bit of cannabis. In fact, the college experience depicted above is eerily familiar. Cannabis also helps me focus. I read a recent study suggesting that "ADHD" teens often self-medicate with cannabis for similar reasons. Certainly, if ADHD had been a diagnosis when I was in school, I would have fit the profile. Then again, ADHD-like symptoms appear prevalent in this community...Isn't a certain level of multi-tasking (to use a more accepted descriptor of similar phenomena) necessary to multi-table and surf porn?

Re: Playing under mind altering substances
Any sort of stimulant is very bad for your game. This includes coffee and red bull and I'm pretty sure it would hold true for coke, meth, etc...
Downers like alcohol and prescription drugs are probably not that bad for young males with lots of testosterone. The one danger is that you will play too passively. |

Excluding alcohol, do you think you play better or worse with mind altering substances? Do you ever take some on purpose to play better? This includes caffeine. Personally, after I smoke pot, I find I can focus much better and for longer periods of time. [/ QUOTE ] It's always good to admit you smoke pot publicly. But anyway, I can't function without coffee in the morning...and yeah it helps my focus, primarily by keeping me awake. |
