This is funny, maybe I am strange, but I found out the opposite, it made it hard for me to resolve the most basic puzzles (or made me feel "brilliant" for resolving them)... I won't even get started on reaction times, at least judgement on how I should react to situations, it never helped me...

However, it did make some games much more enjoyable, like TV, some sort of content is better enjoyed high, not that I want to push anyone thoward taking drugs, I have not touched that in years by now.

People used to think Alcool helped them drive...

Driving drunk is legal in germany and they have no speed limits and there's less accidents then the US.

This is complete nonsense. One can prove almost anything with the right "study". Marijuana decreases one's reactions and critical decision making ability - fact.

That is not a fact. It is your opinion. Expressing it as a fact is immature and passive aggresive. Weed can make you creative and able to outsmart your opponent in new and exciting ways that you're stupid enough to try because you're stoned. You can be less aware of what's happening and thus react faster to compensate - You do know we're talking about moving a thumb stick centimeters and pressing buttons right? It's not like we're shooting a real gun, driving a real car, or fighting a real demon. Also, like I said earlier I think, if you smoke enough, and the first time you played the game you were stoned, and you learned to play it stoned, it will most definatly make you play better when smoking then when not smoking.

This was my 4200th post, Coincidence, I think not. 420 blaze it. 

What a wast of acid man!

I play Dota 2 high as hell and am significantly better at it. I really get into the game and position myself exceptionally well when high. Its like I get into some kind of zone. I love it.
CoD, I do not do better at it high, but I have not tried in a year+

That's not true man. Where'd you here that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunk_driving_law_by_country

And it's also not true that there is "no speed limits". On the specially built, federally controlled highway system, i.e. the autobahn, there is no speed limit. But that thing is far away from the roads most of us are used to. In any case, there are speed limits in Germany, just not on the autobahn.

Lastly, there are many countries where there are less accidents than the US. http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/road-traffic-accidents/by-country/

Dota 2 is one of the most tactically-dependent games in existence. I highly doubt it. My friends play a lot - and by a lot I mean thousands of hours each. They also smoke a lot of weed (and again, I do mean a lot and over a long period). But all of them agree that they are not at their best when high, therefore they don't smoke when they play seriously - only when playing for fun.

WHile i know this is a clear joke.. lol  Some of us do it perfectly Legal :)    Its accepted medicine in some countries :)

Yes marijuana can slow down your reaction time, but its relaxation properties can sometimes trump it


For me playing FPS, if im not high, i get more anxious i gues you could say, and i tend to over react. Ill over aim and cant hit targets. When im high, i tend to get into a level of reaction where i dont freak out and am able to more calmly aim on target. This is especially true when im a sniper in BF4.
