wow man, hahaha, that's a lot of weed. That's just too much...3 blunts will make the best of us feel like shit. I pretty much exclusively use a vaporizer now, it's infinitely better for your lungs and doesn't give you that shitty taste and hacking cough a blunt does.

The thing about performance is just perception I think. If you feel like you're going to play better after smoking, you probably will play better. Also, people that say they're playing better than ever after they quit, probably have the same placebo effect. And, they might have progressed the same way even if they hadn't quit.

In my opion I play footbag much better when high. I can play to the music a lot better and I am a lot more relaxed and rhymatic.

im doing much better now. smoked like once in the past 10 days or something. eating better, drinking more water, not eating fast food half as much...but im having weird dreams, i think because of not smoking. and occasionaly headaches. but im doin pretty good.

When you remember your dream does it involve an endless search for bud?

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 15 Mar 2006 07:18

dreams are VERY affected by weed usage. i have been cutting back totally for like a month now, and whenever i make it like 3-4 days without toking (down from 3-4 times a day for months...) i have fucking insane dreams! really scary ones, really weird ones, and i remember them all clearly when i wake up.

BUT! im feelin strong now, i think my burnin days are behind me!

very interesting post, i have yet to try smoking and shredding. i dont know if i will though, not yet at least. i think right now i am still drilling basics so i dont know how much marijuana would enhance my clipper delays?

ALOT would help you greatly... no, j/k... it would probably make you way worse... it does that to me.

dont do drugs.

yeah, I've basically quit smoking pot. It was making me stupid. I mean, I wouldn't drink three beers and do my homework or shred, why would I smoke pot? I still use it recreationally when I go to shows or whatever, but being chronic gets old.

I've recently quit weed! I, like Jared, have found myself smoking weed all too much. Since I have quit I have seen an improvement in my overall endurance. I highly recomend not smoking on a regular basis, especially not while playing footbag.

Yea i have definitley cut down. i usually only smoke like once a week or so

Hmm, I smoke quite regularily, I've recently quit cigarettes and I'm thinking about cutting back on weed and eating properly and stuff. Maybe footbag will be my motivation into that. Let's only hope.

Will Digges · Post by **Will Digges** » 10 Apr 2006 09:21

I recently quit aswell, today is my 10th day off and I have seen a big improvement in my footbag game.

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 10 Apr 2006 09:51

i think im quitting for money and school purposes... i spend too much time and money getting stoned for it to be worth it. plus, im ready to get into footbag, seeing as its springtime here.

my game stopped improving once i started smoking again. so no more of that

i, for one, refuse to completely reverse my previous opinion on weed making my shred better. in some ways quitting does help anyone's game who does it, because you have more physical endurance, etc. but i KNOW weed helps my game in other ways. i bust out of some sweet stuff im positive that i wouldnt ever hit sober. i may not be as consistant all the time, but i get so in the zone when i combine the two. and anyone who has regularly shredded baked will agree...eh?

Tough question and I couldn't vote in the poll. Definitely smoking weed has a number of things that decrease your footbag game but also a number of potential benifits that help some people's game. I can think of a number of players who have either finished in the top 3 at worlds on occasions or are regarded as very good players who play high and claim that it improves their game.

However I'd say if you start looking at other sports beyond footbag it is clear that if you want to get the highest level of human performance in a physical activity you shouldn't smoke anything. The advantage of weed is that it helps with your spatial awareness and creativity - the advantage of not smoking is it helps in your physical performance. The top players who I mention tend not to be players who are pushing their games to get a great deal better. My impression of the footage I've seen is that their games have been fairly stagnent over recent years (depsite what all the fan boys seem to think). Maybe when you get to a stage where you're happy with your game and don't want to greatly improve smoking weed is ok but if you want to be pushing yourself to be a better player I'd say not smoking is definitely to your advantage.
