Weed and gambling

[SBR_John]

just don't mix.

Cost me about a gazillion dollars to figure out these two in no way should be combined. I no longer do anything outside of Jack Daniels.

My advice if you smoke and gamble is to do all your handicapping straight +nights sleep, so in the morning. Get your card nailed before sparking up. And do not add(chase) to any bets while your buzzing.

Wow John you come along way. Went from Pot head to multi-millionaire business owner. Congrats to you John.

honestly i cap much better when im smoking, maybe you just smoking the wrong shit, i do have to admit i have went to put a bet in baked and totally clicked and bet the wrong fukkin team

[teaserpleaser]

helps take the stress away for me im vaped now watching my white sox bet. i just cant get too medicated or i get "careless"

[Metalhead]

I'm more focused after smoking, although I might forget to check something. Large amounts of alcohol would help contribute to chasing compared to smoke.

I was coming in here to post this. I do almost everything better stoned, but when Im capping and making picks for some reason im a lot clearer. Ill be thinking about a play while smoking and once I get high, Ill be like what the **** was I thinking.

[bogbat]

I make reckless bets and have poor money management when drinking, I haven't smoked weed in years but I assume it would make me overcautious.

agreed ive made several stupid fukkin bets drunk

I think weed has made some of you more delusional over time. Whenever, you start thinking you are better because of a drug than you might be over the edge just a tad. Our bodies were not meant to run at peak performance from a drug. Just my 2 cents.

it seriously gives me clarity to my thoughts while sober i can be back and forth on both sides once i smoke some of the jack hair or another uppy really good high weed im like wtf i know what the right play is, just gotta use extra cation when actually placing the bet because like i said more than once my dumb ass has the shit wrote down right in front of me and i click the wrong box

[Mikail]

I think it depends on the person. An individual may actually think more clearly after 'toking' while another will be scatter brained. I personally don't use mind altering substances but when I was younger I remember studying for exams while smoking and it seemed to help. Or at least I thought it did.

Fair enough! Enjoy.

Ralphie pretty disappointed in you pal not letting me know you get down.....

In all honesty, I do not smoke during the day so my head is clear. I'm a night smoker and by then my wagers have already been placed or graded.

Pot is the bomb and needs to be legalized now....

[hugh_morris]

there isnt much hope if you dont smoke dope.........out..

[LostBankroll]

Im young, (20) so drinking is never on my mind really unless im going out somewhere. but I smoke on the daily. Its a must. Ever since I was 18 I realized why the fuk cant we smoke in peace while others drink and abuse alcohol with no problem. Why? Because its legal for you to drink. Shits crazy how the government is working us. How we have more deaths on the roads yet never have there been a marijuana overdose. Weed is my Anit-Drug.

[TheGambler]

Couldn't agree more!!

[Cuse4tw]

but alcohol is a lot safer

<3 me some weed

[jjgold]

Coke probably keeps you more alert than any other drug and gives you the confidence to win.

Liquor could hold you down

[Patrick McIrish]

Someone told me once that you do better at something if you learned while high. For example I know a fairly accomplished pool player and he can only play stoned. I asked him why once and he said because he learned to play in the dorms and they were always high. When straight and playing pool it's such a system shock that he can't play nearly as well. He's more comfortable high, his muscles, hand-eye coordination and everything else was conditioned when he was high.
Not saying I necessarily believe it, I'm not sure, but if someone started out capping games high I find it feasible that maybe they do cap better that way. When you do something over and over in the same state of mind (stoned for example) I think it stands to reason when you try and do the same thing in a different state of mind (straight for example) it could affect your performance. How could it not?

BTW I don't smoke these days but I did when I was younger, I smoked every day on the way to the game room. As a result I play pinball and foosball much better high than I did straight, and that holds true even to this day. That's why I believe there might be something to what my pool playing buddy says. Just food for thought, carry on.

We have 15 Marijuana stores within a 5 mile radius here in Santa Barbara. Everyone has their Medical Marijuana card. I just left the store and bought Grape Ape, Purple Erkle, Snowdust and Orange Mango! It is some kick to it!

[lakerboy]

Weed is a waste of money. I wasted lots of money on that stuff when i was younger. The ones who do it now will say the same thing when they are older.

[THE PROFIT]

I used to get drunk in bars & call in stupid bets to my bookie. I always seem to think more clearer when high, but when drunk the stupidest shit ever seems like a great idea

[urge2kill]

I only have some sour grape left. Going to the store tomorrow.

This guy needs to post more

[fury]

The one time I blazed and placed a bet, I ended up taking the side I didn't want and won. So I'm quitting while I'm ahead.

But I'll continue to blaze the second after I make my play

[stealthyburrito]

get some better shit john, i tend to be more detail oriented after a few rips from some glass.

i fukk up bets when drunk, but high or drunk & high i am prepped to do some research.

It's not a waste of money if you grow it yourself boss, its actually very profitable, not that I would know though...

Throw me in that category while you're at it...I do literally everything better after I blaze...it is gods gift to humans.

[SRBI]

Yeah, that's what people should all do...sip on some Jacky D's till we catch a buzz then before you know it you're gulpin down the bottle all the meanwhile making irresponsible wagers cause you're under the influence. Solid advice John, you're a genius!

[Snowball]

i'm a better gambler now than i was when i would smoke weed.
pot is not the best for logical deduction.
i don't think they mix too well. coke does, though.. although losing on coke is a real downer.

[THEGREAT30]

gambling is a stand alone job

[Iwinyourmoney]

Any outside influence in gambling is bad news
