Marijuana Makes You Stupider & Worser At Gaming

[wraggster]

The U.S. Government-funded Above The Influence campaign warns that Marijuana use will significantly impact your gaming performance:

"Getting high affects your brain in ways that may directly influence your gaming ability," warns the Drug Czar's Web site, citing the impairment of "many of the skills required for winning a background, defeating an opponent, [and] beating games."
To dramatize how bad a stoner can be at video games, the site interviews a computer-generated character who laments the demise of a gamer friend of hers. "I used to have a good time with Lyle. We made a good team. He had skill. He had swiftness," she says. "Well, he used to, anyway. Then our last fight, Lyle decided to get high. And it was simply: sayonara skill, sayonara swiftness."

Not just in gaming. I noticed that when I would get high in the morning, even hours before going to work, it would cause me to struggle for the rest of the day at keeping up in my duties. It was no problem if I didn't smoke at all. So, I just gave up smoking entirely. Although my display name has not reflected the change.

the person who made the title for the story seems to have been smoking it lol... stupider and worser? haha... but anyway, any narcotic that can influence the way you think obviously lessens the way you execute action. no exceptions with games

least they are sucking at games, and not driving a car

What if you don't inhale?

Lol

This could be applied to any kind of drug, cause I suck at gaming when I'm drunk, specially at tekken
