people will always try to come up with more reasons for why they like something. whether it be weed, cocaine, cigarettes, prostitutes, or food (i know you love my comparisons). lets face it... people like pleasure. why does it have to be more complicated than being high?
weed doesnt improve your footbagging. it wont get you the gold medal. it wont get you a lasting job. and it wont get you girls. it just makes you high.

I concur pegleg, you can win the cannabis cup, be a long term drug drealer and get all da ladies. ahaha. honestly cannabis is great for a lot of mental reasons I think, releasing stress, taking pain away, and eating etc but physically uhh... relaxing is the only thing its good for.
Anyway i find it funny that this is always the first topic in the health topic, it was created OVER a year ago my lawdy lawd lawd.
Weed doesnt release stress it just makes you numb to it for a while. Weed sucks and you shouldnt smoke it without me
Weed helps my footbag game because those are my two escapes from reality. Well that and prostitutes, cocaine, beer, liquor, cigarettes, and flyinig steel ponies across dirt piles.

Amen. I enjoy the end of my sessions when they are stoned. Ill be really high and all wore out from shredding, and just lay on the floor and stare at the roof/sky. Its a pretty kickass feeling.
Btw prostitutes, coke, beer, cigs, and flying steel ponies seem to make my game worse!? whats with that.
I quit smoking erb a couple years back because it got really boring and unproductive. A week or so ago, Mr. Mosher influenced me to bun da erb. So I did and at first I had a wicked focus on my game. Then 2 hours later I got reeeeeaaaaally burnt. Ahhhhh, the good ole dayz.
My next invention.......weed that won't make ya burnt
EDIT: I can't see that page Adam, it requires a log in!!
First think about how to practice or don't bother practicing.
This is my favorite place in the universe to play footbag, and I don't even smoke anymore.

"Footbag can be pretty frustrating when it's supposed to be fun. I was partly driven by this forum - practice, practice, practice... As that is true, I think someone can be too focused on progressing and training that they miss the fun aspect of it." - Bander87
i dunno if anyone has said this ( not goin thru 7 pages)
i dont, by any means, smoke anything.
i read in a health book, written by fittness doctors and what not, that weed makes your blood pressure rise, you persperate more, and you have shortness of breath. it also lowers eye-hand coordnation. plus where i live its illegal (US).
Used to smoke but don't anymore (at very very special events sometimes because it's just normal to smoke there (Open Air)) I think it really depends how much Weed you smoke until it really effects your play in a bad way - of course you get short breath etc. but while high u are so much more focused on the bag and because everything gets slowed down you have more time to concentrate on the bag and catch it in some sort of Slow-mo way
But I quit on smoking weed because I have other means to get relaxed (Sleep or just lie on my bed and listen to good (quiet p.e. Simon and Garfunkel) music while having a very relaxed breath (inhale with your nose until you have reached the very max of breath in your lungs and then exhale slowly through your mouth and think of energy flowing through your body)
I did it a lot at the army to relax and calm down (otherwise I would've killed all the idiots I met there) and I still do it when I'm somehow agitated or need to chill

Yes and no and it depends on how much you have smoked before playing - how much you generally smoke and how good your reactions are anyway
To be more precise : If you are really really stoned I don't think u will shred very well anymore because you can't even get your lazy ass away from the couch (chair whatever ) If you generally smoke a lot I do believe that you will get a bit slow and that doesn't help much when you want to execute a Nemesis (etc. ^^)
But when I smoked before shredding (have to say that I didn't smoke a lot before going for a session) I didn't get any slower but more concentrated and more focused on the bag and the trick I wanted to execute...

for me like the first 40 times i smoked then played it made it feel basically impossible but you eventually get used to it and now i play better stoned, including reaction time and everything related. it slows down the bag to, ya know
I quit smoking and playing for the reasons flockpocken listed:
- It made me shorter of breath considerably
- I would get winded in 2 strings
- Made my heart beat faster and harder
On the good side, sometimes pot would help understand how to do a move in a different, more efficient way. It may be stereotypical but there are definitely insights gained.
I rarely smoke and play, I usually do it because I just want to chill out. Sometimes it helps but usually it is more bad than good because of the short breath especially. Though it can help especially after a big party like I had yesterday. I was feeling like puking soo I smoked a little medicine herb and here I go!
I find that smokin definitely improves my game. It makes me work that much harder. I kinda get into the zone. I can play whether I'm under the influence or not...but i find, alone at home with a little bit of the green stuff, and some music puts me right in the zone.
Alright. I've been a full time non-burn pothead (I have more energy than a yorkshire terrier running away from, well, anything really....how bout this, I have so much energy I can catch that dog ), for the past 8 yrs. Now I'm not on here to preach about how awesome it is or how much it sucks. Just this. If a person were to play high and their hand-eye/foot-eye co0rdination is delayed and they were shreddin Guiltless say, wouldn't that mean that when they shred sober they will be doing like fuckin like 13add shitsnits, right?? Like fuckin 7 dex tricks and shit. No plant.....at all. Sssssscalled the Floater.
