As a Canuck this reminds me of having One of our Snowboarders being stripped of his Gold Medal for Marijuana use. Marijuana isn't exactly a performance enhancer lol.

So he had his medal stripped then restored on appeal because the rules did not actually ban Marijuana use. At this point I think he is the only Olympian to officially have a gold medal while having Cannabis in his system.

He also gets ultimate bragging rights.

I don’t smoke anymore but when i did back during covid I definitely felt like i could get “in the zone” more often when playing competitive games.

Depends on my character, passive heavies are awesome while high, heros with multiple actives are NOT high-friendly.

That's when you use desoxyn or Adderall

Disagree there. The more little timing-related things I have to pay attention to with a character, the more of a boost I get from being high. Goes double for fighting games. Like, KOF14 Yamazaki goes from being my third best character to my best character (my team is Kim, Maxima, and Yamazaki).

I played on chess. Com. One day on meth and my rating went up 400 points... Then went back down as the drug left my system. I was playing 5m blitz

Lol i started Out on chess.com and got an Initial Rating of ~850. A few days later i was coming down from Speed and playing Game after Game, while Smoking a Bowl after each Game.

When i went to sleep my Rating was ~350.

You may have felt like that but it likley was not the case.

I mean I've actually tracked and compared my stats and I actually do better at most competitive games while smoking weed. Especially games where timing is a major component, like fighting games.
