Weed before Sports

[overdrive]

Okay so I have to know what everyone else says, here is the story...

So me and my buddy are smokin' a 2 gram blunt, then 2 more joints, so I'm pretty fuckin ripped, needless to say! And I remember my buddy has hockey.
So I asked him if he was ripped too, he was like yea. So I was like man aren't you gonna be shit when you play hockey? Like I don't think I can walk home right now! He says it makes him play better, and makes him more creative. I think it's bullshit, sometimes he plays a shitty game cause he's high but once he scored a hat trick while high, he's really hit or miss. I never smoke up right before hockey because I am creative as it is, and I think it totally fucks up your reactions!

So my questions are , Have you ever played a sport a high? How high were you?
Did you play better or worse than usual or what?

people who smoke marijuana are the most lackadaisical people sometimes, but then we also have those moments where our energy would surprise most. like those moments we're in total zen state. i often get high before i play football with my friend. it's not a competition, but we are running and throwing a lot. it's amazing because our catches and throws actually resemble those of NFL standards. when i go to college, i'm gonna try to play some football competitively and see how i like it.

Hmm...back in the day when I was somewhat athletic, I made the mistake of smoking before I went to my kung fu class...bad idea. I felt (physically) like crap afterwords and the same thing happened a couple years earlier after a fencing class. (you'd think I would have learned the first time...but nooooo) That being said, I don't think it hurt my performance any but I can't honestly say that it helped either.
I decided that it was better for me to do those things sober.

[Ganj]

i'm just saying that i get high before i do so.

it's not that it's more enjoyable, but everytime i play there's my moments of zen, where i'm fully aware. well, i guess i could say it's more enjoyable. sober or high.

[plumber]

Its a question that comes into my head also,i like a bit of "keep fit" usually on my exercise bike but never stoned,i should try it one day.....mmm na.

I used to play for a Rugby team where half the team would smoke on the coach on the way to a match. We generally lost quite badly.

[Ganj]

do you guys feel like it's a buzz-kill to be active while your stoned? unfortunately for me, i'm frequently inconsistent, which makes it more obvious to notice my moments of total awareness.

[Blowboy]

I just don't do sports
But, ganj, I don't get a buzz-kill by being active. In the summer I spent a lot of my time in a park with friends, and than I frisbeed a lot. Believe it or not, but it can be a pretty exhaustive activity, yet I somehow enjoyed it, though normally I'm just one lazy fuck.

i play hockey haven't gone high yet but i know a few kids that do go highs oetime i jsut never have the chance too

Honestly, sports and weed don't mix, in my opinion. I mean, if you're playing seriously like on a team... then playing high isn't good. I know I'd be short of breath.

[xNoa]

wow that made me think, i havent done sports since i started smoking
i cant imagine itd make it any better though(unless its not serious :) )

[Reefer Rogue]

i smoke weed before any socom clan matches but that doesn't really count.

This brings up a very very good point....no intoxicants ever when engaging in shooting sports. Too easy to do a lot of damage. I'm convinced it's one of the reasons we have so many hunting accidents. The old rite of passage thing where you drink all night in the deer camp and then try and be stealthy and accurate at 5am the next day. Or fall asleep and fall out of the deerstand. Idiots. Never mix guns and intoxicants. On the other hand, if you're playing frisbee golf, you're probably ok.

I can understand where ur friend is coming from, I light up a J right before a basketball game and tear shit up on the court...it helps me concentrate better.

You're right, after a few bong hits I'm like Stojakovic out there. Bombs away.

But when stoned I "Just say no" to Defense.

[Ganj]

i wonder if ricky williams went out on the field stoned...

[straight]

Haha that just reminded me of a great story. My dad had this friend over once. His friend was missing his index finger, so later I asked my dad why. He said he was on a hunting trip when he was like 17 and the guy he was hunting with thought he saw a duck, shot the guys fricken finger off! Needless to say intoxicants played a role in that!
