[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7115898, member: 6796661"] I was half interested when I saw the thread title but the content of the post was a downer. Anyway, my main weed-smoking days were in college, after I'd stopped playing RGPs. But I don't think I would have enjoyed it. While I had some fun times with it, pot was never was something I liked to do when trying to accomplish anything with a group of people. As for playing with people under the influence, it depends on the person. In college I can think of two opposite extremes: Friend 1: Smoked a lot. Every day. But was highly functional and even very productive on weed. He would have no problem playing the game high. Friend 2: Also smoked a lot, but turned into a complete idiot. Would forget what you were talking about mid conversation and then it would be all "wait, what? Oh duuude... I'm so high. [laughter and giggles]" After a while I just wanted to hit him in his stupid hippie face and I was peace-loving hippie at the time. Caffeine is a much better drug for TTRPGs. Nicotine is okay, but now that I and most of my players don't smoke, it can be disruptive having a heavy smoker who needs lots of smoke breaks. Weed may be good for some GMs to come up with ideas for game, but in play? Not unless you are all the type who are heavy users with high tolerances and the kind of brains that just get mellow on THC rather than stupid and distracted. In general, I would think that psychedelics/hallucinogenics and TTRPGs don't mix. [/QUOTE]
