Video Games & Drug Use

[chalo 07]

I played halo high many times during my freshman year at college.

I quickly learned never to play ranked matches. I was atrocious.

"Did you ever see the back of a Nintendo game..On weed?
There's some weird shit going on in there. Sometimes there are four screws, sometimes three. Do not clean with alcohol, that's crazy man.
Red team go! Red team go!"

What's the next thread? A "Have you ever played a game on a sleep number bed"?

It is impossible for me to sit still on acid, mushrooms, or when candy flipping (a combination of ecstasy and mushrooms).

Yeah, that's why I only do it on the come up. Also, goal oriented activities tend to distrat you from the experience. It's funny to put the controller down after an hour or so, only to discover ... holy shit I'm tripping. Lets go for a walk!

Damn, this thread is making me want some goodies.

I don't really support drugs. I haven't even touched weed in years.

Yeah, I've smoked my share of weed, tried E, acid and even railed a few lines that I shouldn't have. I don't recommend any of it.

I have played video games while high on weed. The first time I played the first PS2 Metal of Honor game, I was blown away. I thought I REALLY WAS taking part in the D-Day invasion. I think I actually pissed myself I was so freaked out... ... ...

However, I do support medicinal marijuana. I believe it is a helpful drug in some situations that many governments have been suppressing for reasons I don't need to get into here. I also feel that ALL illegal drugs should me decriminalized. Drug addition is an illness, not a crime. Way too much money is spend keeping non-violent people in jail. Doing that would completely stop the illegal drug trade, killing off a lot of the crime problems in the process. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening. Too many people (I think I know who, but, again, this is not the place to discuss it) are heavily profiting off growing and importing illegal drugs that do not have the best interests of others in mind. It is a total detriment to our world. Using illegal drugs (and a lot of legal drugs!) just supports this crap. I say avoid drugs whenever possible, for the benefit of EVERYONE. Why support an industry that hurts so many people?

I have my medical card for anybody that's wondering, and I find it very hard to play videogames while high. It puts me into the zone sure, too bad it also completely dulls my reflexes. It probably isn't an issue if you play simple slower games, or games where you don't have to be good to enjoy them (GTA would be a good one). Unfortunately, my favorite games also require an immense amount of concentration to perform well (TF2, TrackMania, various SHMUPS and platformers on the Genesis) and I just can't do it. That doesn't stop the occasional doped up gaming though.

However, it does wonders for my anxiety and insomnia.

I believe you. It's also good for asthma and various types of arthritis I hear.

So you smoked some weed and were magically transported to WW2 and thought you were fighting Nazi's, and the controller suddenly turned into a pistol which you could swap into a machine gun, and pissed yourself?

I have plenty of ahem, friends, who have done a lot of drugs. Safe to say weed doesn't put you in any alternate reality, just makes you more aware of it's nuances.

Seriously, either you smoked something that was laced or you "feel asleep". The only hallucination pot will give you is that you think a cop just knocked on your front door or that Funyons are Gods gift to man.

Smoking is about the worse thing to do if you have asthma. Maybe you're thinking about glaucoma.

Hum. I thought you quit last year. I also thought you had to be 18 to own a prescription of MJ, but I'm sure I could be wrong.

I did not say I was hallucinating. I got into the zone so much that I really felt I was there. I let my mind go. Nothing more. Nothing less. It definitely wasn't laced. I know where it was grown.

No, I didn't actually piss myself. I just thought it was funny to say that.
