I’ve had mixed results playing after smoking, sometimes it keeps me chill, other times it makes me second-guess every move. Edibles are a little easier to manage, especially the low-dose ones.
I’ve been using the gummies from Joy Organics lately and they’ve been super consistent, which helps when I don’t want to overdo it mid-session.

Cannabis really helps with many things, but I don't think it has anything to do with poker. Sometimes it can help some with anxiety and hinder others with a lack of focus. Each person is different. Some will help with the game and others won't.

I suppose it's not something that works for everyone, but if in your case your game improves, congratulations.

Hi everyone!! Currently, the world society is suffering a resounding canon with respect to the point of view on cannabis, fortunately, since several scientific studies demonstrate the effectiveness it has to treat various disorders and diseases. If we put aside recreational use and focus directly on its benefits, we can see that the CBD helps to calm the nose and reduce stress, many conditions that can cause us the game of poker or life itself. When we try to do our best game, it is essential that our brain is neat and in its best form to give the best of us. I am a consumer and thanks to cannabis many of my problems have disappeared, such as anxiety and difficulty to stop consuming so much alcohol, I do not consider myself addicted to alcohol, but it is a problem in life and more than anything in poker . I would like to know the vision that the world has about cannabis and the relationship with poker.
I can't seem to get any benefit from cannabis. It just takes over my brain and makes it a paranoid scared mess. I gave it a solid effort back in college and I just couldn't agree with it

I've never tried it and I don't really want to start to be honest.

Cannabis and poker have a curious relationship. Some players claim that cannabis helps them relax, reduces tilt, and keeps them focused for long sessions by easing anxiety. It can also spark creativity, which some find useful in reading opponents or making unconventional plays. However, cannabis can also impair decision-making, slow cognitive processing, and cause players to lose track of the flow of the game. It may lead to looser play, missed details, or emotional overreactions. For casual games, it might enhance enjoyment, but in serious competitive settings, especially online where speed and precision matter, it can be more of a liability than an advantage.
