But yet, your not commenting on sites that say that Advil helps with Arthritis pain. Also, how many people do you hear about smoking themselves to death? I lost a friend in high school to an overdose of tylenol, which maybe could've been avoided if she would have just smoked some pot which has been shown to help depression. Are you anti-Advil too?

I happen to work in a <a rel="follow" href="http://www.soberliving.com/resources/addictions/marijuana-treatment-and-drug-rehabilitation/" rel="nofollow">marijuana rehab</a>. You will probably ask yourself why there is such a thing as a marijuana rehab if marijuana is a light drug that can do no harm. Ask yourself again: do you really believe in drugs that really have no harmful effects what so ever? Then you are a child that needs to grow up. Don't do drugs!! No matter what kind might they be!!! There is no such things as a harmless drug. I have nothing against video games, but mixing games with marijuana and recommending that as something useful to do, well, that is another story.

I toke up every time I play (which isn't very often anymore). Performance enhancing? Hardly. Just more fun for the player, that's all. Gaming sober is annoying.

I used to have some Red Bull for Starcraft & AoE2,& Maryjane for COD4 & the likes.It causes sudden explosions of precision & concentration.

Jacked up my nights sleep severly and that in turned screwed up my weekend but it did work. I also had a buddy who would smoke some weedage during LIVE Halo2 and it took the edge off and made him a sniping machine. After an hour or so he would fall apart and go to bed.
