I'm deciding if I should stop smoking, I've been weighing alot of the negatives and positives, what do you guys think? I understand that it might not be the most accepted thing out there but is it really worse than getting piss drunk? Does anyone think that weed can hurt ur personality?

He looks pretty alpha to me there. He smoked 1 pound a week. No doubt in my mind he was high there. Hes one of the most confident men I've seen. The way he cuts interviewers off when they're questioning him seems confident even if it's because he doesn't like media.

Only you can make that decision for yourself, but feel free to consider this advice.

The more I go out and sarge, the more I realize how alcohol affects my game. I still drink some, but I'm trying to cut back and not keep up with anyone else. It's just as much fun if not more so when they're drunk and you're not.

I haven't smoked weed in about a year. Quit before I really knew what pickup was. MJ just wasn't having a good affect on me. Sure it made my body relaxed, but sometimes I'd get paranoid, most times I'd pass out too early, munchies... well you know.

The thing about drugs in general is that: while it may be easier to approach after a few drinks, few hits, few lines, whatever; the state of mind you're in is artificial. You can achieve the right mindset naturally if you work on it and if you believe in yourself. Yeah, you have to work on it. It's not fucking easy. However, it can be accomplished. If you had told me that a few years ago, I would've disregarded it. But I'm witnessing this ongoing change in myself right now.

(Look around at the Inner Game forums!! Loads of help there!! ) LINK

Beside that point are the side-effects: you trade courage (liquid, leafy, or powder) for control. Even nights when I considered myself buzzed or lightly drunk, I've looked back and seen mistakes I made because of the alcohol. Can't even imagine trying to sarge while stoned.

All that said, if you do use drugs: don't drive, stay with your friends, be aware of your body, and be aware of your surroundings. Geez, I sound like the old guy here.

I think it should be avoided when you're gaming.

However I also think alcohol should be avoided when you're gaming.

I have made some of my best closes when I'm no more than two drinks in. In fact I don't think I've made a single close after I've had more than three drinks.

The key here is anything that affects your judgment is going to dull your edge while you're gaming. It reduces your ability to correctly perceive certain cues. You may think it's an IOI, really, she just found a piece of lint.

Also, Bob Marely has arguably built up a fairly high resistance to THC and it's effects. I won't get into that debate because my point is simple.

Anything that reduces your cognitive ability WILL reduce your Game.

Weed will not help your game at all.
Because you will be in your head and
thinking to much.

This. Money.


As a dude who smokes a ton of weed, I could not have said it better or simpler myself.

I think the problem, if any, would be in "thinking too much". Living in the society we are (USA for me) we have to deal with a few more things than a rasta in Jamaica like cops and people noticing you're high who in turn might call the cops. I think those things can make you "go in your head" a lot. I have noticed that if I smoke, the rest of the day my senses are heightened and I notice things I wouldn't have otherwise. This part, after the high has passed, I always learn a lot about game because I picked up on all of these things I just wouldn't have noticed without cannibus. Like analyzing body language, understanding the meaning of being cool, attractive, masculine and confident. When I'm high I look like a retarded 3rd grader that was kicked in the head by a horse but afterwards i become smooth.
The thing about cannibus is that it makes you notice things. And we all have to notice things when we are learning game. Like seeing the invisible cat string theory in action, or working on inner game, or noticing body language and voice tone. When betas smoke they see themselves as betas and the bud just reinforces it. Maybe straight minded they found ways to go around it and appear alpha but when they're high everything is thrown in their face and just become beta again. I think the opposite happens when an alpha smokes. So either become fully alpha before you smoke or use the bud to discover how to become one. I don't think enough people use it constructively enough like that.

why should you stop?
sarging is not on the looks. it is the skillz.. i smoke my self to..
the only thing you should do is not walk around with those red eyez..

that is my advise

God love the Bob Marley vidz. Thats all i have to say

Okay, I have a lot of experience on this. I myself have been a daily smoker on and off for about 15 years. I can walk into any situation high and no one will be the wiser.

That being said, it has been awhile since I smoked like I used to. I mean the occasional party or get together is fine. However, now I am in a job where doing that could really jeopardize my security here.

I have noticed since not smoking regularly over the last year or two, that my game has improved when not smoking. However, on a night when I do have a toke or two and feeling pretty good, I am still able to run game.

So it still goes back to your confidence and how you present yourself. If you are confident smoking and playing that role, then in the words of a friend of mine, 'own that shit.' And if you are considering quitting because you feel self-conscious about it, give that a shot too. Nothing is any more permanent than you make it.
