Hi All, I did a little experement last night, seeing if my gaming abilities on Need For Speed Pro Street was better or worse after a joint.

I started off playing without having a joint, and I found that I was not very good and couldnt seem to get my driving to match the other drivers.

Then I had 1 joint, after this I was excellent and won most races with style. I think the weed helped my driving and made me a much better racer.

After the second joint I was still pretty good, but I could tell my abilities had gone down a little.

Then came the third joint, while playing the game the world started to spin and I puked my guts. Think it was too much movement for my brain and eyes to handle.

ANyway, just wondering how many others think their gaming abilities get better after a joint.

I kick ass when i play counter strike when stoned, i'm far more relaxed and can react more calmly when some fucker pops out from behind a wall and starts emptying a clip into my face. when i die... i have to wait for a team to win, so to pass the time, i just top up on my Marijuana Gaming Powers. Without weed it's annoying having to wait, watching people run in the opposite direction trying to find each other etc :rofl:

odd that you actually puked after 3 joints.... *cough* light weight *cough*

Years ago went on a go-karting day out with work. I couldnt even drive at the time. I took a couple of mates cos all my work mates were old blokes and I was the apprentice so wanted some young lads with me. Anyway on the drive to the track we got stoned out of our boxes and continued to smoke every chance we got. out of about 30 people we took first and third :rofl:

I was the fastest loser to take me to final race but I didnt finish on podium. But i was still very pleased with myself. Who says weed slows ya reactions :rofl:

I always play stoned, I find it gives me massive amounts of concentration and focus, like i'll drive 3 laps without blinking and my eyes will be watering. I am better when i'm straight though, my reactions and decision are faster.

my reactions are undoubtedly better stoned, as is my concentration and hand-eye coordination. i play all games better stoned, strategy cos i concentrate better, action/racers cos my reactions & coordination are better. when stoned i just get "in the zone." - i'm also into juggling & i juggle better stoned too, for similar reasons, it's like herb allows you to enter a kinda 'trance state' where you are more in-tune with your physical self, it stops your conscious mind from getting in the way and allows instinct to take over :smoke:

I used to fucking love that game, especially stoned and some suitable music, what version do you play? I haven't played it since the summer cause my shitty laptop broke. :spliff:

I get more tunnel vision when I'm stoned. People might recognise this state as being in the zone. Nothing else apart from the next corner in my mind, full attention on the game. I find putting full attention on a thing harder to do when sober. So I think the green helps me to concentrate more fully on games.

Plato said "It is a just person who disobeys an unjust law."
Epictetus said "Freedom is the right to live as we wish."
Voltaire said "Man is free at the moment he wishes to be"
Blayz'd said "When I grow up, I want to be a budologist"
Gil S-H said "Each one reach one, each one try to teach one"

Definitely! I always play better stoned, seem to concentrate more and can shut out other things around me. One slightly more worrying thing is I often get an involuntary boner when i am concentrating on my game and heavily stoned. :!:
