I pretty much always play Sc2 with bong hits and coffee. So in a way I'm sober, since I'm just always high on THC and caffeine. Thats normal rigkl bnmhj,og76yt5v? (< Haha don't worry that was me kidding, I'm fine). I think if I stopped smoking (and drinking coffee/pop) for 3 months and played with a similar regimen. I would probably be much better, but I haven't tried so I can't say for sure.

Edit: I think weed has affected the way I think enough that even if I stopped smoking it would probably only be more beneficial (the time spent high while playing was a good learning experience).

only one way to find out if it fits you. but always keep in mind those drugs will give you more energy but its chemical which means you trick your body. adderal is an amphetamin right? so this means if you take it you artifically make your body think youre in an extrem situation you need to survive. for example run away from a lion. while sitting on a desk.

is this something youre into? you would abuse the drug. please just dont if you have a family or a wife and things like that.

I've played SC2 with migraines before. The medicine I sometimes take for them speeds the blood flow to the brain and so sometimes I feel like my mind is moving much faster than the world around me. Once while playing with that migraine on my meds I literally felt like the world was slowing down around me and I was watching it at high speed. I felt like my APM was 300 or something. I seemed to blitz through everything with time to spare. After a few minutes my daughter came up to me and asked why I wasn't playing. I responded that I was playing, couldn't she see how fast my hands were moving? She said no, I wasn't moving at all. She was right, my base was being attacked and I wasn't even responding in real life. A very freaky experience, but sometimes my mind glitches like that when I have migraines.

if your question is serious:
NEVER do drugs for that purpose! Use them occasionally, if you like to, when partying and having a good time, not for time management and concentration


Yes it was a serious question, thnx for your answer

My biggest problem has always been being lazy in the way I dont use time effectively, mostly school before nd work now. Because i run 2 companies i work like 60hours a week, runs me dry quickly and first time in my life i feel like i NEED vacation once in a while. Always had the feeling that prescription might help my work ethics, but mayb as you say, drugs/medication are not the anwer..

if i smoke a little dope, i get slightly better, and ive heard that ADD and ADHD people also get better when they are on their medication.
however, i usually just smoke too much and then i play like shit, but still think im playing well. i lost 3 games in a row in bronze 2v2s yesterday before i realized how badly i was playing. it does get rid of ladder fear, but if your also playing badly thats terrible for your mmr

take some time off.

but drugs are for having fun or if you are really sick (in that case i mean drugs as medications), not for such problems. It will feel good at first, but after that it feels worse

thing about drug is they work. question is if it is justified to take them or if its just parents drugging their kids for the sake of it.

but yea sure they get better.. i bet if you give your kid blow it will do better at parties. or starcraft. or picking up wemon. until year brain is fucked and you are a retard at the age of 60or cant do shit without drugs.

This thread is just going to turn into a circlejerk of people bragging about smoking weed errday.

also, this. i attempted to keep that mentality out of my post, but i probably failed miserably, so i should probably add that smoking dope isn't inherently cool, just like drinking isn't inheretly cool. you can be cool and do either/or, but it wont be because of what your poison is

This thread....why....
I think it's a bit inappropriate.
Maybe if you want to discuss these things, you can do so in blog.
Drugs overall does not concern starcraft at all.

lol...

I tried to play a game of BW on LSD. It was really uncomfortable. There was too much around me to care about the game so I just stopped.

I was on Ecstasy about 1 year ago and I came back home on a friday night and played in the Friday night KOTH. I was playing really well and then I just left randomly half way through the game. I'm not sure why I left, I probably just wanted to do something else.

Smoking weed and playing BW/SC2 for me is a death trap. I play at like 40% of what I am capable of. I'm much too chill to play. I guess it could depend on the strain of weed though, if I had some really good shit I may become super human.
After I get my vaporizer I'm going to try it again with some really powerful strains.
Wishing you well.

My god. using boosters to keep working is really really bad. Use sleep, go for a long walk after dinner, things like that give you energy. Don't drink alcohol.

I do drugs but NOT when there is something important ( work ) going on in my life.
The thing with drugs is, you get a high for a short period and then you'll have a low for a longer period. So you gotta make sure that you have nothing going on in the days after you do any drug. And don't do boosters ( cocaine, (meth)amphetamines ). Nobody really likes them.
Being a ho doesn't automatically make you "immoral" or a bad person, but it does make you a ho.

I totally agree with ya. Was trippin balls on shrooms, when i though i would play some starcraft. The early stages of the game went fine, until my opponent started chatting to me, which just freaked me out. I had to turn off my computer. To anyone who been on shrooms, you know how the atmosphere can change into something uncomftorble. My friend who was also trippin calmed me down, and i was fine for the rest of the trip.
Weed works fine unless you have zero tolerance, then you just get too high to play.
Alkohol is a no go for me, since its impossible for me to multitask when im drunk,.
Amphetamine works very well, but i dont recommend it, since its a disqusting drug.
Coffeine works aswell, for obvious reasons.

I have no experience in drugs so i dont rly know the difference. But what i was thinking about was more those prescribed medicins that ppl use before exams etc. I know many ppl in the netherlands use em in university etc. i think its either called ritalin or the one that adhd ppl use to calm/concentrate, adderal? Maybe they are both as bad as other drugs? I guess using them on daily basis is bad for sure, are they also addictive? Cus i know from myself im sensitive to addictions

Anyway its just a consideration ive had for quite some time. Only if i see more pros ill MAYB give it a try someday

Caffeine is bad whilst gaming unless you have ADHD or ADD. It just makes emotions run high, you may rage. You focus may be good but taking in thoughts and learning is hindered while on caffeine. I stopped e-drinks and coffee and since then ive been improving more rapidly.

When I play drunk I play so much faster than what I usually do, although my precision is so bad and my decision making is almost non existant.

Caffeine is my best friend, the only reason I can mass games now a days...

I take Xanax for anxiety, I just can't play for a couple hours after I take one (1mg). My reflexes are just shot to hell, I'll be like "Okay here come the hellions zerglings run in drones run away!" and by the time I'm halfway through thinking that all my drones are dead my body is so far behind my mind lol.
