I find that when sober, u spend time thinking of a trick, then by time u implement it, it is too late. But when ur high, u just go with it, and already have a few backup plans ready to go.
Marijuana is watered with Daigo’s blood
I pretty much only play online when I’ve had a few drinks. When I’m sober I normally mess about in training mode (cos I really need the practice…). Might actually win a few more games if I played sober 
I took some Xanax before my last tournament. I usually have a real problem with the jitters before a tournament match, so I decided to see if it would help at all.
I was so calm it wasn’t even funny. I steamrolled every guy I faced 2-0 (this was a Marvel tourney, the scene isn’t strong in this area at all), and was in a perfect mental place for fighters.
I was actually pretty bummed out though, I was expecting some guys that I know can compete with me to show up, and instead it was only one or two people who even understood tiers, my little brother who I’ve played with for years, and a bunch of Xbox Live/PSN Spideyman/Guile/xxx lovers.
I wasted Xanax on a tournament I’d have easily won anyway. :sad:
The only “anti nerves” type drug I would consider or recommend is Beta Blockers.
They partially block adrenaline receptors, preventing the panic that often accompanies social phobias.
Apparently, a HUGE number of musicians use them to cure their stage fright.
They have no mental effects at all, they purely assist in blocking the effects of adrenaline caused by stage fright/social phobias.
My wife used to nearly faint when she had to stand up and speak in front of people, despite being talented, beautiful, and successful. She had no real reason to freak out, but her body would dump so much adrenaline that she would get all shaky and lightheaded.
Beta blockers cured her of that…so I bet they would probably work to handle a case of “tourney nerves”.
Ahh man… it never stops to amaze me how (to me) foreigners, especially Americans, have an opinion about weed when they are in such a disposition to judge. Just to get it straight, I’m from the Netherlands, the only country in the world where you are able to walk into a shop and buy weed. There are many ways to roll a joint, but believe me, if you roll it pure (without tobacco) youre gonna be lighting that thing up after every hit. It’s NOT to make a larger joint, it’s to make your joint burn better and generally to add some flavor. About the ‘cardboard’, it’s called (in Dutch) a ‘tip’, made from a 1x~5 cm piece of paper, which you put in your joint to roll the paper around it (or blunt, if you prefer that).
Here’s a graphic explanation: http://jointjedraaien.nl/jointdraaien/inside_out.php
PS. Ignore the step about burning the cigarette, it’s useless.
Anyone who feels to throw in some typical USA arrogance: I have seen and spoken to a lot of people from the US who claimed to know their weed, but got absolutely fucking high from 2 hits of what we call a normal joint here. I have friends who went to the USA and smoked there and didn’t get high off US weed, while the people who are used to it space out.
Oh, and anyone planning to visit the Netherlands for a drug-tour: Avoid the tourist coffeeshops in the center of Amsterdam, they suck. Try more remote shops and visit other cities like Rotterdam and The Hague, the weed there is often way better :tup:
That’s interesting, and there’s no negative medical side effects that you’re aware of? I’ll have to do more research on this product. Thanks for bringing it to my attention
Some of that Bluecheese medicinal and SF4 = One of the best combinations of anything ever. playing drunk is overrated. Hell alcohol as a whole is overrated.
aren’t they hugely dangerous to suddenly start/stop taking?
I don’t drink or take drugs … So i don’t know.
Each time i hear someone saying he’s drunk . he remind me of myself when i was 15-18 years old …
Oh look i’m drunk hruahuahuarrhauhurha COOL heuaheaehau party ehuaheauehua.
But from my percpective they look not very intelligent.
i know for sure if i was drunk(not going to happens) i would hide myself because i would be embarassed.You can have fun without alcool or drug.
Well, I said no MENTAL side effects, not MEDICAL. All drugs have potential side effects and risks.
My understanding is that is not the case. Most people, like my wife, take them sporadically, only when they need them. To my knowledge it is safe to take them as needed (especially considering that is how our doctor prescribed them to my wife).
Now…if you are taking them to deal with a heart PROBLEM, then yes, maybe it would be bad to suddenly just stop taking them.
As with any/all medications, talk to a doctor you trust about all the risks and such, before trying any new meds.
How ironic, you also remind me of when i was 15-18 years old.
:smokin:
after a week of abusing meth, godlike reflexes.
Man I hope you are joking.
I’m a very pro drug person by nature, but that shit ruins people.
i plan to smoke a nice big blunt tomorrow and play some street fighter
love getting in the zone
Did the propaganda they taught you in high school get to you?
Obviously they hadn’t been smoking anywhere near Humboldt County, or the U.S./Canadian border in the Pacific Northwest.
Also, if you’re looking to avoid or counter American “arrogance” as you call it, it would help if you didn’t show up in our thread acting so caustic. This is a simple weed discussion, not some Nationalistic THC tolerance dick measuring competition.
I have personally smoked many of the strains that won the cannabis cup in Amsterdam. Not some rumor shit, this stuff was hand carried back from Amsterdam by one of my oldest and best friends.
It was amazing, but its not worlds apart from the best stuff you run into here.
People in Amsterdam can be JUST as arrogant and myopic about the global cannabis scene, as evidenced by the post above (vastaire).
:rolleyes:
I hate arrogant people. Esspecially people who are arrogant and wrong, California weed is the best in the world! :looney:
In all seriousness though, considering how varied strains in an area can be in terms of potency (in Vallejo alone you can find some KILL, and some boo boo shit that wouldn’t get a 5th grader high, both on the same block), it’s pretty hard for anyone to definitively say where the best weed is. Esspecially considering it’s a black market, where it’s impossible to know every dealer, how can you ever know?
Which reminds me, last week I ate 4 mushrooms while my buddies downed some vodka. We played super smash 64 (which we’ve fiercely played competitively for years now. They know the top tier of the game and know how to use them) and I destroyed with some low tier. Given, with my knowledge in competitive fighting games in general I’m sorta already the guru/teacher of the group, but in terms of gaming, shrooms > alcohol. While their execution dropped, my execution stayed on point despite turning around to talk to the other people in the room throughout the game, only looking at the TV 50-60% of the time. I wasn’t even trying to be cocky or anything but the snapshots I had of what was going on along with the sound effects were enough for my brain to keep track of what was going on when I wasn’t looking at the screen.
Shit is on point in Cali.
Shit is on point on the east cost.
Shit is on point down south.
Shit is on point in the midwest.
Shit is on point in Jamaica.
Shit is on point in Amsterdam.
See a trend?
Modern grow tech + seedbanks have ensured that you can find TOP NOTCH stuff anywhere in the entire world.
So its really silly for anyone from ANY place to say “you don’t know until you try it here”.
:china:
Truth, you can find top-notch shit almost anywhere you go. However, you’ll find enclaves within the U.S. where that same top-notch shit is much more common, common to the point of being normal. I try not to even smoke when I’m in small-town America, because named strains take on that extra “exotic” flavor and you’ll meet skeezy fucking dudes willing to fuck you in your financial ass over it.
College towns + knowledgeable growers is always the best combo in the U.S.
Sometimes I feel like this thread is the SRK equivalent of the “Wasteland Survival Guide” quest from Fallout 3, but instead of Moria Brown telling us to cripple our limbs, hazeandfire is requesting us to ingest various substances, play Street Fighter and report back. I procured two hits of LSD not too long ago; If I can remember to play Street Fighter during my experience, I’ll try and give you a second report.
