As a smoker, I can definitely attest to the added level of frustration to not being able to smoke when playing poorly. That said, as long as I can go take a break a smoke (don't care where - doesn't matter to me personally), I will generally be okay.<br /><br />I can see how pot-smokers would do well at pool though. I play a lot of online games and the percentage of players that are high is staggering. All of them claim it helps their game. It mellows you out, so you don't get nervous or anxious.<br /><br />Essentially, they're taking beta-blockers to keep emotion out of the equation.<br /><br />Like you, I want to be excited when I make a great shot, or when I'm able to take advantage of a mistake. I don't want to be too excited, but I want to enjoy the moment with a clear mind.Johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231671183013797188noreply@blogger.com
