Well then it better be banned from pro tournaments as a performance enhancing substance. After winning, gamers will have to be subject to a pee test for THC.

We better start lobbying ESL to bring in a dope ban policy otherwise drug cheating will become rampant.

Probably makes you care less about the result so no nerves, and makes you play unpredictably which can screw with opponent's play style.

That's silly.

Why is it silly? If smoking gives a distinct advantage then it makes it an unlevel playing field. It's not different to taking performance enchancing substances that improve athletic performance.

Do you know that giving a race horse a micro dose of fentanyl (an opiate that's about 10x more potent than morphine, which is legal to use for anaesthetic in horses) will make the horse run faster? doping horses prior to racing with micro doses of fentanyl is illegal in horse racing, and winning horses are routinely subject to pee testing for fentanyl. When prize money is on the line such things are serious business.
