Marijuana DOES NOT affect how i play Project1999

[Ashimar]

Anyways, unless your a dumb shit, or a kid
who has never been stoned before you should know that pot probably
isn't going to have a negative effect on your playing experience whatsoever.
That is of course unless you announce to your group or guild that you're
"stoned" and someone is biased towards that lifestyle.

If anything, makes people more friendly and enjoy their game more, and
if they never even talk about it, how the fuck would you know any different?

With that being said, Alcohol will destroy a playing experience considerably
more than Marijuana. I've seen it happen. Have a nice day folks.

Marijuana made me accidentally delete my toon =( =( =( Then it turned me into a rapist.

You have psychological problems and an underlying medical condition not caused by ... President Marijuana.

potheads will be potheads, kids. move along.

For something that doesn't affect people, marijuana sure makes pot-smokers go apoplectic over someone saying it might be harmful. I bet they waste more than half their lives ranting over how safe it is and how much worse alchohol is for you. And from personal experience, pot-smokers can SUCK at doing normal tasks just because they are stoned. I've been on more than a dozen gigs where someone was too busy staring into space to make a cue, or THOUGHT that solo was bitchin, but was actually the lamest crap any two-year old with broken fingers ever produced because they had just smoked a big fat doobie. Also, I've known three pot smokers that had psychological withdrawl that was so severe, that when they couldn't get pot, they were generally useless, as all they could do was stare wild eyed and rant about how they HAD to get some pot. This is no exagerration as they were not acting, and they didn't have enough brains to conceive of acting in any event.

Marijuana DOES NOT affect me

choose 1

also I have died and nearly died due to peace pipeists getting too baked to realize that they weren't supposed to aggro 9x the amount we could handle, never again!

[SUSUGAM]

Just because it isn't chemically addictive, doesn't mean it isnt psychologically. :) Long time friend of mine is exactly the same way as the withdrawl kiddos you speak of, but he openly admits to be addicted to it. He's irritable and pretty much impossible to be around unless he has smoked within the last 6-8 hours.

[Mardur]

I'm high most of the time I'm playing, and would like to believe that I'm considered to be a pretty good player.

[SUSUGAM]

I know this guy who had a summer of pot and went from being a sharp guy doing a biochemistry degree to a brainless zombie. Now he pumps gas for a living and lives alone in a bedsit.

He would make a nice addition to this community.

haha, you've never actually met anyone who was high, have you?

I was grouped with 2 guys from peace pipe at castle MM ent once, one of them said he had to go afk for about 10 minutes to "run to the store". About 40 minutes later we kicked them both out of the group. I'm not sure why they both were afk, about an hour or so later the guy apologized for never coming back and explained how he had to meet up with his pot dealer and then the cops followed him around and he was scared to go home. lol

I know this guy who is 42 years old, been smoking pot since 20 and he is great director and very creative person. Pot does not turn people into brainless zombies. Your friend has different issues.

It's pretty funny how this thread has gone on a tangent already. Ashimar is a very crafty troll that way.

Is is really so unreasonable to believe that:
(a) Most people who smoke pot are decent, well-balanced people.

at the same time as:

(b) SOME people who smoke pot will be slightly shittier at Everquest because of it.

Do people really think that (a) and (b) are mutually exclusive? Is this going to become another 20 page thread about people arguing the most extreme positions on both sides, despite the content of the original post?

In every thread about weed, I find you spewing more bullshit. Both of your points are way off. You seem to be confusing pot heads with crack heads.

Did you get beat up by a hippy ? Did some peace pipe member roll higher then you on loot ?

Actually im a different race with Indicolite. ;)

I've known people that smoke to get their game on, and they play extremely better while being stoned.

I've known people that cannot do basic things in game once stoned. It depends on the person and their body on how they handle it.

Long story short, some people die from smoking and others from simply running down the track. No lifestyle is better imho as long as the person is happy and contributing something to society.

Then you aren't high enough, obviously. :D

[jilena]

Like I have known a few people who probably do really drive better drunk/high. Just given the choice, I would rather not have anyone drunk/high driving to be on the safe side.

I would apply the same thought to people playing healers.

When did poopsocking a 12 year old game start ounting as contributing something to society. I like pot so this isn't even about pot smoking. Just pointing out your statement was laughable.

I assume I'm responding to someone right now that is high. I was in an industry where virtually everyone was high all the time. I lost money and opportunities because of people that were high, so I have a bit of a sour taste for associating with addicts. I watched people that were given 100 k advances to do recording back in the 80s blow it on coke. They also smoked a ton of pot.

[Hoggen]

I knew a guy that when he was a little drunk ( after only a couple high-balls and a few beers), was the typical friendly drunk: hard to understand, gripped your shoulder too hard while he was talking to you, etc. When he got totally smashed, he suddenly appeared rock sober and drove like Maro Andretti. You couldn't tell he was drunk, but his blood alchohol had to be about 2.0 or higher.

I know everyone is different. I know not everyone that smokes pot is the devil. I just hate pot because I've had sooooo many bad experiences with pot-heads, and their drivel about all of its tremendous benefits is so boring that it's offensive.

Weed>naysayers. cant we all just get a bong? :D

Can you actually believe I was talking about what they did OUTSIDE of the game. ::Gasp::
