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.

I usually make posts as ridiculous as this when I'm drunk. The people I've played against who were stoned were anything but focused.

A long time ago I knew a guy who smoked pot from the time he woke up to the time he went to sleep and he led what appeared to be a normal life. He basically spent all of his time awake stoned. That was his normal state of mind. Guys like him are few and far between.

That's because when you play against the focused stoned guys, you don't know that they're stoned.
