Does marijuana improve your poker sessions? Does it make you feel more relaxed? I'm looking for people's opinions.

Does it help you in your sessions? Does it relax you? I read opinions.

It helps me to be more focused on the game. It also helps me to better understand the psychology of my opponents at the table and to make the decisions that are appropriate (for example, to play more tight or more aggressive). 🤔

It depends on the person, but in my opinion, it doesn't help it actually ruins my game. I've been a stoner for 10 years, and I can tell you that I play 100% better without weed. You're more productive without it. For the last two years, I've only used it before sleep, and I'm considering quitting in the future because it's just a bad habit. Try not to touch your stash until you finish your session and let me know do you perform better with or without weed?

I think weed only helps if you have mental issues like anxiety, etc. But if not, in the long term, it can cause trouble.

The grass dulls the concentration.Man must be himself.

Drugs are evil!!!!!

The truth is that I consume it from time to time, it helps me to be more focused on the game. Just for that and to relax as well.

Instead of smoking weed a poker player

should take the pot.

I use tobacco under my lip it keeps me focused and balanced mentally.

The best comment! 🤣🤣

nothing at pokergame....thoughts have to be clean and focussed, not over the rainbow....

As with everything in life, the answer is: It depends!

The amount, the types, the environment... and of course, it depends on the person!

For me, it helps a lot... How else would we be able to bear seeing such stupid things and stay sane? lol

Always poker...

Tea helps me. In general, I think that gambling (https://www.casino.us/) under the influence of alcohol or other substances is not a good idea. I think players who are sober have a better chance of achieving a good result.

If I smoke I get too anxious at final stages.

I haven't tried it, but it's on my to-do list.

dude , seriously...weed ?!..the top relaxing for me is a normal cigarete 🙂

I love playing with people who think so.😛

You're not on my list of dangerous players in my notebook. Most likely, we rarely played at the same table. So it's good to hear your ambitions. We will see in our Community tournaments how you can play against Night Fox. 😉

Please smoke a lot of weed and drink a bottle of vodka with it.

I would like to welcome you to my table.

Well yes, freerolls (https://www.casino.us/poker/best-freerolls/) are exactly the place where such players mostly play.😊

I don't know what it's like, but it shouldn't be good. 😉

I never tried, but you don't lose focus?

I think it's not a good idea to relax while playing for money. I play poker for money, and smoking or drinking while playing is just irresponsible to do something that brings money 🙂

It may be fun but anything that alters the mood, in theory does not help.

I believe that any substance or liquid that can relax you will not help you play poker, but rather push you to a draw.

Drugs are popular in all walks of life, and poker is no different. Live poker players have to take random urine tests. And if you get caught with something, you get banned. Some people get an unfair advantage.

I really don't think those 2 things combined are ok 🙂

Brother🙂 Coffee and cigarettes in front of poker

Yea. not every session. I like it most when I make a deep run to reset the focus

self-deception

I think poker is a great game without any additional stimulants. Moreover, if you are interested in money in poker, then most likely alcohol or drugs will prevent you from achieving a good result 🙂

Of course. I love smoking marijuana while playing poker. It relaxes me, although I once went to bed and smoked a little while playing a tournament and fell asleep.

I don't smoke weed, but I do smoke a lot of cigarettes and I often drink beer while playing. Playing with beer and cigarettes is much more fun than without them, although it is unhealthy and of course it hurts concentration.

There is a drunken master style why not hot

Weed and poker can be a controversial combination, as its effects vary depending on the individual. Some players claim that cannabis helps them relax, reduces anxiety, and allows them to focus better during long sessions, especially in low-stress games. Others argue that it can impair judgment, slow reaction times, and lead to careless decision-making, particularly in high-stakes or fast-paced situations. It may also influence emotional stability, making players more prone to tilt or overconfidence. Whether it enhances or hinders performance largely depends on tolerance, mindset, and the ability to stay disciplined while under its influence. Moderation and knowing your limits are key factors when mixing cannabis and poker.

Weed and poker are two things that some people enjoy playing together, but there are several factors to consider

Ben Potential

Relaxation: Many

Increased Focus

Dow Potential

Slower Reaction Time: Cannabis

Increased Risk Taking: The “Chill” Effect of Cannabis

Legal Considerations: Addiction

Ultimately, it’s about finding what works best for you. Some players swear by it, believing it enhances their poker experience, while others prefer to keep their heads down for maximum performance.

I use weed vape tips, and it does make playing more fun but Im not sure if it helps with my game 🙂

dont smoke weed guys

I like using it after playing, while replaying hands (https://www.casino.us/poker/strategy/poker-hands/) in my head and considering the how's/why's of my decisions at various points in the action.

I guess depends on the person and their goal, if is a pro playing 30 tables per day or a reg playing one tournament a week, if the goal is to have fun or make a motherload of money, any substance probably will make harder to play but also if the person can play like it was sober probably wont be a problem, i guess every case is a case.

To make serious money, probably joining a team and playing sober and serious is the best path.

Go for the gold.

God bless.

For poker, only the weak will go...

It is true that in poker you should not be addicted to tobacco, it impacts and slows your progress.

In my opinion I don't think this combination is a good idea, I think the same about alcohol and poker. A while ago I read that some High Rollers players used a concentration medication.

I have smoked weed for over 30 years.

For me I prefer not to smoke if I am in a game.

I find that my mind becomes too relaxed and in the slow parts of the game, my concentration levels drop away causing me to not follow my opponents as well as I do normally.

I guess it is different for everyone but I would definitely suggest testing one self by playing in a MTT for an hour or 2 and then having a smoke and take an honest view of how it changes your game.

Overall , no matter the substance, your mind will be altered to the point that you don't make decisions as clearly and as sharply as an unaltered mind.

In essence I am very pro weed but not when my mind needs to be performing at its best.

No its not good for me . 😀 Under weed i want sleep and then just going allin with any hand and thats it. 😀

I do not take anything that could alter my thought processes. Even when playing freerolls (https://www.casino.us/poker/best-freerolls/), I want to focus and play my best.

never tried it but i know some people like it.

🍻I'm more of a beer and poker guy myself.

I've never tried this to be honest, people are built different, some might play better while others will say is a big mistake.

The only thing I tried was Alcohol and Poker, wasn't drunk drunk but had a little to drink and maybe it was just my day but I managed to make the final table, But that doesn't mean that it's a good combo, sometimes you just run good regardless.

To be honest, I've never really tried this; people are different, so some might play better and others will say it's a huge mistake.

The only thing I have tried is alcohol with poker — not completely wasted, just a little to drink — and maybe it was just my day, but I managed to reach the final table. That doesn't prove it's a good combination; sometimes you simply run well regardless.

Everyone reacts uniquely, and I also think it depends on how much you smoke xD

Some players act without thinking, while for others it helps them stay more stoic and less emotional, which can improve their game.

I don't know whether cannabis would help me relax while I play... I've never smoked before.

Rather than smoking weed, a poker player

should take the pot.

Wow, great reply.

On the subject, I don't believe unwinding with weed will improve your play. It's a depressant, so it will slow you down and reduce focus. Also, research has indicated that weed can diminish motivation over time.

I've only used weed two or three times in my life and didn't enjoy it. In any case, I don't think it would lead to better decision-making. I've already played poker somewhat drunk with poor results, I should add.

I’ve never played while under the influence, but I guess it might help you get into a flow state.

Weed is not an aide, its a lifestyle.

And what a wasted life it feels like.

Still I'm content with it.

A BIG NO

Please smoke a lot of weed and drink a bottle of vodka with it.

I would like to welcome you to my table.

To mine too.

No focus, loose chips.

Getting organized, knowing what limits I have with my bankroll (https://www.casino.us/poker/strategy/poker-bankroll-management/) helps me have more confidence day by day.

I believe people should learn to unwind without using alcohol or drugs. To relax, consider meditation or a stroll outdoors in fresh air. If you need a distraction, try playing poker 🙂

I haven't given it a try. I believe it loosens you up a little at initially and eases tension, but I'm unsure how helpful it will be afterward. It isn't wise to make decisions that are overly lax.

I've never used marijuana, I don't want to try it, and I never will, particularly while playing poker. Yet I urge my opponents to smoke marijuana before a game so their minds are clouded by the drug and their logical reasoning is seriously diminished.

I smoke heavily, so smoking does help me relax. That said, it's only regular cigarettes — nothing fancy.

Many people mistakenly think "High Rollers" refers to the buy-in they use to play.

👍

I've never used marijuana, have no interest in trying it, and never will—especially when I'm playing poker. Still, I urge my opponents to smoke marijuana before a game so their minds are flooded with the drug and their logical reasoning becomes notably impaired.

If you've never used it, how can you say logical reasoning is significantly impaired? 🤔

👍

The best choice is a clear mind; alcohol, weed, and similar substances are harmful to your attention.

Honestly, it depends on your objectives and how you manage it. For a casual home session with friends, it can increase the fun and help you unwind. But if you’re grinding online or competing in serious tournaments, it’s generally a poor choice. Weed can slow your thinking, disrupt memory, and make you more impulsive—three traits you don’t want at the poker table.

I believe people respond in various ways. For certain individuals it might assist them in unwinding, but personally I don’t find it helpful, since it disrupts focus.

Using weed while playing poker is a divisive subject because it impacts concentration, decision-making, and emotional regulation—three crucial elements of the game. Some players believe it helps them unwind and enjoy playing, while others think it worsens judgment and slows their reactions. Over time, depending on any substance can be hazardous, particularly in high-stakes or competitive settings. The important factor is self-awareness: knowing how it changes your performance, imposing boundaries, and prioritizing clear thinking if you want steady results.

Does it help you during your sessions? Does it calm you? I've read various opinions.

I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I don't take drugs, so it's hard for me to form an opinion.

Does it help you during your sessions? Does it calm you? I’ve read different opinions.

I can’t tolerate weed. It makes me paranoid and dumb

I have no way to compare playing while high to not being high. I don't think I've ever played poker when I wasn't high.

Cannabis can aid anxiety and focus, though effects differ between individuals.

I've already played poker and had a beer; I've never smoked, but I imagine it's a similar sensation. Being drunk while playing poker didn't do me any favors — I wasn't really focused on the game and lost a lot that day, hahahaha.

I do it every time I play. It probably makes me perform worse, truthfully. I still keep doing it, though. Gotta stick to your principles.

I used to smoke and it held me back in every cognitive tasks wether it's poker chess mahjong speedcubing etc now i have erased all the wedge and became perfect

The doctor said it isn’t good for your brain. So I think you need to stop.

Depends on the type and how it affects you. It can help you relax and concentrate, but it can also interfere and prevent making clear decisions.

I wouldn't take drugs regardless

Opinions vary widely, but for me, when I want a gentle buzz before a session, I get an edible from weed delivery Richmond (https://weeddeliveryvancouver.io/get-weed-edibles-delivered-same-day-in-richmond/)and take a small dose. It helps take the edge off without causing fogginess.

I think weed only helps if you have mental issues like anxiety, etc. But if not, in the long term, it can cause trouble.

How you calculate long term of playing poker with weed 😂😂😂

It can aid concentration, but every individual is different. In my situation it's beneficial, while for others it could be detrimental. It's the same as variability you see in poker.

How do you figure the long-term effects of playing poker while using weed 😂😂😂

the long-term impact on your health

Whenever I smoke, I play poorly. I can't maintain focus on poker when I'm smoking.

Not a drug adviser, but dopmng has not been canceled)

I don't think those fit together!

Absolutely. I find that a brief pre-session ritual helps me unwind and concentrate. It doesn’t automatically improve my performance, but staying calm and focused makes it easier to make good choices and prevents me from playing on impulse.

No way. Poker is only played with a drink in hand.

I used to drink while I played and always lost. Now I only smoke weed when I play and it doesn't impact me much. I do have ADHD, and of course everyone reacts differently, etc.
