Video Games and Marijuana Use: Does One Encourage the Other?

With the recent release of the next-gen platforms, PS4 and Xbox One, and with the announcement of new installments of worldwide smash hit franchises like Call of Duty, gaming really is here to stay. Video games are not specific to one age range, and are enjoyed by people of all ages, but teenagers and young adults are one of the key demographics. And, naturally, there is a subset of that group who also enjoy the recreational use of drugs such as cannabis – and it’s not unusual to find groups enjoying both marijuana and video games at the same time. This may beg the question, then: does one encourage the other? Let’s find out.

[Codewow]

100% of my friends who do use recreational drugs started on their own terms just to "fit in" with the crowd. Peer Pressure is one hell of a tool.

[GarrusVakarian]

I'm sorry, but your friends sound like weak-minded idiots. Weed should never be smoked to "fit in", it should be smoked if you, and only you, want to smoke it. I have a friend who would constantly say no every time we offered him some, then eventually he said yes and enjoyed it...he did it on his own terms, not just to be "socially accepted".

And to answer the article, getting high might make you want to play a videogame (so much fun, i *highly* recommend it), but videogames don't make you want to start doing drugs, lol. I don't sit there and think "oh man, that game of CoD makes me want to roll a fatty and get wasted".

[Codewow]

Sounds like you guys inadvertently pressured him into it. And I agree my friends are weak-minded idiots when it comes to that. They have wasted thousands of dollars on it and have nothing saved up to support their future. So they're all around stupid... well up until most of them split ways after high school. Then life caught up to them.

[Bigpappy]

You just called him out then proved his points. Had that guy not have you as friends, he may never have touched the drug and be quite contented with that. Not saying he is not at fault, but he gave in due to you guys making him comfortable with the idea. I have friends who smoke, but as soon as they pull the herb out I wish the well a politely move on. They don't offer me any because I am not ambiguous about my position on that. I put my heath above all else and would easily end friendships to protect it. Friends are supposed to respect each other.

[GarrusVakarian]

@ codewow

"Sounds like you guys inadvertently pressured him into it."

Lmao, no. Please don't make judgements on me and my friend circle based on your own idiotic friends, please. We didn't push the blunt in his face every time we smoked and say "CMOOOON just one hit, you'll love it!"...we asked "you wanna try it?", and he simply said "no". Then one day he said "yeah, aright then, I'll try it". He's an adult, he makes his own decisions, he wasn't "pressured" into jack shit.

@bigpappy

What point did i prove? He said his friends started through peer *pressure*, that's not how my friend started. Peer pressure is not the same as offering a choice. Sure, if he didn't have us for friends then he might not have ever started smoking....but why is that a good thing? He enjoyed it, the drug is great, life is good. Lol.

How many of y'all smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol (two things i never do)? Make sure you aren't being hypocritical before commenting about weed, fellas.

[PeaSFor]

to me smoking a blunt is like drinking beers, its recreational.

[Gozer]

Weed is less harmful to your health than drinking or smoking cigarettes. Being high doesn't lead to violent crime either, like alcohol does.

I smoked weed socially in the beginning, videogames had nothing to do with it.

However, I love to get high and play videogames now. Its like the one thing that can make a fun game even more fun. After you get used to weed, it can actually make you play even better. I have no idea why, but you can become so focused that you go into what I can only describe as a "zone".

Lol, I just read the article, am I the only person that thinks the author was high when he wrote it? A lot of errors in his write up.

[GarrusVakarian]

@Gozer

"However, I love to get high and play videogames now. Its like the one thing that can make a fun game even more fun."

We have disagreed on many occasions, but this we can agree on.

[MASTER_RAIDEN]

For me personally, video games arent the first thing i go to after toking. most of the games we love to play require really great timing and precision which i just waaay too difficult for me while blazed. id much rather spend a few hours watching stoner cartoons on adult swim or walking my dog.

either way i totally agree. im a pretty regular smoker myself but a lot of times when i just dont feel right about smoking up, i just pass it along without thinking twice. simple as that.

@Codwow: no offense man but youre way off. most of people I KNOW smoked weed for their first time because they wanted to know what weed was like. NOT because some kids pressured them into it like all the anti-drug commercials would have you believe. I'm sorry that you were once associated with such weak minded people, but rest assured that millions of people out their smoke marijuana simply because thats what they love doing.

i think my favorite part was when you actually tried to imply that those crazy stupid stoners got whats coming to them and that "life caught up".
LMAO. Bro. there are probably millions of people in high paying professional career feilds that smoke weed on an at least occasional basis. Life is not an anti-drug commercial. wake up.

for the record, im not endorsing anyone use pot for any reason.

[sinspirit]

"I have a friend who would constantly say no every time we offered him some, then eventually he said yes". - Lukas_Japonicus.

How is that not peer pressure? Peer pressure is giving in to a consistent push from others to do something. It doesn't matter if it's shoving it in their face or not. You offered it to him, all as his friends, several times and he had no interest in it. Of course he would likely eventually give into it. He already had a choice. He chose not to do it, and after you guys kept bugging him about it as his group of friends he thought he should just go ahead and try it, and he changed that choice.

Good for you for not trying to force it onto him, but you should just leave him out of it and not try to bring him into it by asking him so much. That is definitely a form of peer pressure.

[elhebbo16]

damn lukas why you so passive aggressive, we get it smoking weed is up to you.

[AntoineDcoolette]

As someone who smokes I don't want to play video games or read when I'm high; it takes me out of my element. I just want to listen to music or watch tv/movie/anime

[Arkardo]

@AntoineDcoolette

Totally agree with that, I don't know how some people can play competitive video games or do something that requires heavy brain to locomotive response when high, as you said see music videos or listening to music, Anime is such a great idea.

[ShinMaster]

You don't have to say stereotypical things like "CMOOOON just one hit, you'll love it!" that you see in PSA ads to call it peer pressure.

If he constantly said no, it's because you were constantly asking him until he eventually gave in. That can be technically called peer pressure. It doesn't have to be aggressive.

[Larry L]

The real problem with weed and video games is a pretty big one. It's that I like to be high when I play my games, but games kill my high. Playing Gran Turismo online for example, I'm burning half a bowl between each race. I just go through too much weed when I'm gaming. It's an issue.

[Snookies12]

Weed isn't a drug, it's a plant. It grows, and you smoke it. That's all, plus it has very beneficial effects as well and helps bring down pain levels without the use of actual drugs. It's why they prescribe medical marijuana to some people going through a lot of pain.

[sinspirit]

It is a drug. This is a medical fact. If you think because it isn't mixed with anything or not in prescription bottles that it's not you're dead wrong.

Drug - a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.

It's the same crap people used to say that "Weed is illegal because the government can't put a tax on it!". I've heard that crap so many times from people that try to justify to me that it should be legal. I don't think it should be illegal. I think it's perfectly fine if you're responsible or if you actually have medical issues to take it. But, keep it away from me and keep your dumb theories to yourselves.

[Tetsujin]

I've played video games since the 80s, and I don't smoke or drink, or sometimes even eat (using the bathroom is the most I'll do depending on the game). Getting that next level/mission complete is more important than "boy, I could smoke one right now..." Of course I take breaks to eat/drink or other real life responsibilities, however while I'm playing a game that comes first outside an emergency.

I also know some drinkers/smokers, and while I don't judge, what they do is their business, video games or not.

[TheSaint]

Fallout and weed, is there anything better?

[mixolydian_id]

Weed...

I used to smoke and play video games...

I kicked the weed and still play video games...

They're two separate addictions!

This article is almost as bad as saying "I smoke weed when I drive a car... therefore they're both related"

[IrishSt0ner]

I've seen peer-pressure in action many times with other kids, personally with me it was always about expermentation (first cigarette was by myself).

OT, absoute BS there is little to no relation. I first smoked with friends, and mostly not at home. Now years later, I'll smoke when I'm gaming or watching a movie/show, as entertainment does feel enhanced in every way, and you're far more engrossed IMO.

THC no recorded deaths in all history. Alcohol is the 2nd largest killer below tobacco. Says it all really. Weed FTW.

[TooHigh2Die]

Its safer than alcohol or cigs and makes gaming 10 times better IMO. Could I chug 10 beers and dominate a match in Destiny? Hell no..But could I smoke a few bowls and calm my nerves and perform even better def yes....

[jc12]

couldn't agree more man! I love toking up and then playing BF4. For some reason, my focus and intensity is much better when im high. Personally, I feel like being high makes a game seem more visceral and realistic.

[Bigpappy]

I don't smoke. Played videogames for over 30 years. Never did any drugs either, but I am not here judging people. To each his own. If people want to dope themselves that is their right as long is it doesn't lead to them harming or forcing the effects on someone else.

So have your ganja, cigarettes, coke or whatever floats your boat. Just keep it to yourself and others who care to indulge. Blowing it in my face or impacting my personal comfort could lead to violence and who know what that outcome would be.

[Elwenil]

+1 Well Said

[AgentSmithPS4]

I've played Battlefield with many types of drug users and while it is sometimes comical it doesn't make me want to do any. Recently I played with a Latino that was drunk and doing lines of coke on mic, lots of snot related sounds and energy.

I used to play with a funny doped up redneck, he was only ok at BF but the dope gave him super powers in Dark Souls games.

A funny paranoid pot headed black ghillie wearing sniper guy was the most entertaining, he was surprisingly motivated but lacked the ability to work as a team. He was often found running up to armored vehicles, tossing C4 on them, and blowing himself up too, furry-body ragdolling wonderfully away from the armor.

[Immorals]

Been smoking for 8 years, never once has a video game even remotely made me feel the urge to get high.

Infact, most of the time I just play peggle, or watch something on tv/Netflix when I'm high

[KwietStorm_BLM]

-___-

[Geekman]

No.

[hkgamer]

The simple answer is no it doesn't. Just because teenagers or young adults do it and also plays video games does not makebthat related.

It's more of a social reason why people do it. At that age 16-24(?) it's socially accepted to do it. Anytime after it, people kind of have that 'just grow up' attitude where it's almost seen as pitiful.

Maybe college/university culture has more to do with it. Kinda makes people think that if they are going to do weed in their lifetime might aswell do it then. I can't speak for all cultures, but that's how it's in the UK.

I am talking about constant smoking weed. Not smoke once every 6 months. Only a small percentage carries on after that, others either quit or move on to coke (?).

[n4rc]

I find its the opposite..

I used to party hard.. We all did.. Doing coke, MDMA or ketamine etc...

But you eventually realize that stuff won't lead to anything good.. And we all eventually quit everything except weed..

Its something we enjoy and doesn't really impact your life.. After a few years, you'd never even tell if someone is high.. Its a subtle effect after awhile..

I work 60+ hours a week and haven't missed a day in over 2 years yet I burn everyday.. Some enjoy a beer after work, some prefer a joint.. To each their own IMO.. Just need to realize if something is negatively affecting their lives

[XxDefiance42xX]

This^

[sevilha82]

You sir are an excuisite and experienced man.quite wise as well.my experiente was very similiar to your's.

Weed is a magnificient drug when used proprelly.

Cheers.

[hkgamer]

well, its different for you. you started everything at the same time.

most people start on weed.

anyway, everyone has a different drug experience in their life.

[Reeze]

"Its something we enjoy and doesn't really impact your life."

I'm not trying to rain on the parade, but I just wanted to point out that all drugs affect you in some way. It can impair your driving ability (of course, not like alcohol, but the risk is still present- took a driving exam today). It also messes with your brain and can cause increasing difficulties over time (mostly minor things, but still negatives). There is also believed to be a correlation between marijuana use and the presence of tumors. I'm not saying they're DIRECTLY related, but there is supporting evidence. Chemicals in marijuana also negatively impact the lungs and damage air sacs, which play a very important role in respiration.

Not trying to be a put-down, but it just bothers me that so many people think marijuana is the miracle drug that has no side effects.

[ScottyHoss]

@hkgamer if you include alcohol as a drug, it's the true gateway drug. More people have tried other drugs while on alcohol than on pot, simply put, it should be legal :) who agrees?

[Spotie]

That's a stupid question to ask. Never had the desire to smoke, been gaming all my life.

[AHall88]

I've been high two times in my 24 year gaming "career", neither had anything to do with games and I didn't care for either experience.
I'll stick to beer and liquor, weed is just not for me.

[BosSSyndrome]

...I like both...
Never tried them at the same time though...

[jc12]

try it. It makes gaming much more of a visceral and intense experience.

[hankmoody]

Get high and play Outlast. Fun times.

[XxDefiance42xX]

Tried once, never again. Oh my god.

[hankmoody]

Dude. I can only play that game for like a half hour at a time. It's not fun to play a game where every few minutes, your rear speakers erupt with the sound of running footsteps and the panting breath of some savage looking to kill you with his bare hands.

[MysticStrummer]

No.

What a weird question.

[matrixman92]

smoking and drinking are for the weak

[Nodoze]

Says the guy with an anime avatar in a game forum.

I am sure you are super strong! Altering consciousness has been a desire since the dawn of time. Don't put down, what you don't understand.

Addiction is a weakness. Altering your mental state is not.

[ScottyHoss]

^ this.

[Beastforlifenoob]

Lets think about this logically...
You smoke weed and drink alchohol because what everythings all g? NO because you have a massive hole in your life and you need to escape it by going hard on the drugs.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

The irony here is that that's the sort of question that I imagine people are likely to ponder while they are, in fact, high.XD

Never touch the stuff, myself.
Smells too disgusting for me to stomach the thought of it clinging to my clothes...

[gpturbo81]

what does it smell like to you?

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

A strange mix of wet sugar that has begun to go bad, and dog shit.

Not the most pleasant of smells; sickly sweet yet rancid. I would not be able to stomach myself if I wore clothes that had absorbed that odor.

[ScottyHoss]

(just wondering) where do you live? I've found some areas just have disgusting smelling bud, unfortunately I never got to try it though :P who knows, it might be dank s*** :D

[Nodoze]

Eat it. The effects are even better, and last longer.

Don't eat it raw, cook up some peanut butter snacks. Good stuff.

[n4rc]

Been smoking for many years and been a gamer my whole life..

Never thought one encouraged the other.. A lot of potheads like video games but its more a coincidence then anything else... If your sitting around burning, there's only so many things to do and games are one of them

Usually I prefer to watch Tv when I'm baked.. Lol..

[RosweeSon]

Drugs are bad mmm'kay

[gpturbo81]

flowers

[Viperoholic]

There's nothing like smoking one while playing games.. Too bad I can't smoke no more..job ..responsibilities

[FITgamer]

Stupid question. People from all walks of life with plethora of different hobbies smoke herb. Hell i know guys in Army who smoke regularly, my ex's dad is deputy sheriff and smoked his entire adult life.

[USMC_POLICE]

And those are examples of corrupt and week minded people in power who should be fired and or discharged.

[FITgamer]

No more WEAK minded than people who drink alcohol. I don't smoke or drink, but i'd much rather be around a group pot heads than drunken idiots any day of the week.

[DFogz]

"Any cop who does ANY drug should not be in an position of upholding justice as they themselves are clearly not just."

Then I guess you better fire them all. Drugs are all around us, and every single person has ingested some type of drug at some point, usually on a regular basis (addicted).
The cup of coffee in the morning? Drug
The energy drink in the afternoon? Drug
Not feeling well? Drugs
Going to the doctor/dentist? Drugs

[hkgamer]

is it illegal to smoke in your country? if it is you rather be with people who break the law, than people who drink?

lol, yeah i know i sound like a dick. weed is actually quite a casual thing.

however you ex dad should not be smoking that, he has no repect for the badge. i personally believe that police should only be for people who really respect the law.

[FITgamer]

Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it's wrong, vice vera. Some people see the world as black and white, some see it as grey.

[gpturbo81]

who are we as humans to say what should be illegal. we didn't make this rock we spin around on.

[USMC_POLICE]

No point in arguing HK over here people lack respect and smoking dope is abit to accepted by people...this article further proves that point. Any cop who does ANY drug should not be in an position of upholding justice as they themselves are clearly not just.

[hkgamer]

i did kinda take back what i said when i said weed is actually a little casual and that was ok.

however with the police thing. i actually think police should follow the law. how can they expect citizens to follow law if they dont follow it themselves. not saying he is a corrupt cop and needs punishing. just saying that he should get another job. i dont know, just seems like people just become police and act like its just another job.

[jmac53]

Just because something is the law doesn't mean it should be followed. You know it's illegal to make funny faces at at dog in Montana. That law is still on the books. Weed was legal till the alcohol and tobacco lobbyists pressured lawmakers into making illegal to boost their profits.

[Mr_Danski]

Personally, I've only ever got high at music festivals here in the UK, iv'e never indulged in playing games high, simply because i haven't really seen any benefit or appeal. I see a benefit however around a camp fire after some great music with some friends and a few beers, great end to a night (You'll sleep well i tell yah)

I would never encourage weed, but those who do are more than welcome and wont be judged by me for one.

[hkgamer]

lots of people love playing fifa whilst high for some reason.
i never really had the interest, i rather listen to music and watch windows media player visualisations =D

[TheSsus]

What's next? "Do videogames make you wnat to rape people? FOX thinks so."

[gpturbo81]

dont flush, FOX News needs material.

[urwifeminder]

Yeah I wont play unless I am high video games are boring sober I will go and do something more constructive with my day.

[PiNkFaIrYbOi]

Never done it and don't plan on it either. We prefer having a clear mind when playing video games.

[Stapleface]

We, as in your more than one person? You sure your not already on something? It's not weed from the sound of it.

[PiNkFaIrYbOi]

Nope on nothing at all. We are just we and stuff.

[StrawberryDiesel420]

I always burn before I game, it definitely increases the immersion for me. I love it, probably my favorite thing to do when I smoke aside from going out to a nice steak house.

[uth11]

I think... wait, I can't remember the question?!

[Ozmoses]

I smoke weed on a regular basis..

I am a Disabled Combat Veteran.. I have PTSD, TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), Ringing in Ears (Tinnitus), etc...

I smoke about $20 worth of weed everyday. An 8th of the good good cost $60 and Quarters cost $120... So I usually buy a bag every 3-4 days.. depending on how much I buy..

All I do is smoke weed and play video games and go to college. I get $1714 every month tax free from the VA (Veterans Administration) for disability compensation.

For me I wouldn't say the two are linked.. But playing video games after smoking a little weed doesn't alter the experience at all.. Maybe it's just because I smoke so much..

I don't condone peer pressure and I've never sold any.. I just buy it and smoke it.. That's it.. I enjoy games and I enjoy marijuana.. Oh, well.. If you don't like my story that's fine with me..

However, if you do like marijuana and playing video games.. I would suggest you play Geometry Wars after smoking a little.

[SpinalRemains138]

Just stop with all this "does A lead to B, slippery slope, gateway" theoretical bullcrap already.

Nothing or anyone makes an individual do anything. We are all predisposed to certain behavior at birth and no video game is going to turn a well adjusted teenager into a raging pothead well on his way to selling everything for a crack rock.

-If one loves burning and playing then I'm pretty sure that they enjoyed gaming prior to burning so the argument fails.

I like sex and bologna but sex doesn't lead to bologna.

Just stop.

[CramShaft]

But will you have sex with bologna?

[ATi_Elite]

Where is the Video Games and Soft Drink / Junk food use article?

Way more people eat nachos and drink Mt. Dew while gaming than smoking herb.

But do we have pictures of cheesy keyboards or sticky game controllers? Nope.

But this article does explain what ALL the campers in COD are doing. Sitting there idle while they roll a fatty.

stay classy lol

/sarc

[Ozmoses]

haha.. now that you mention it.. I have been drinking an abnormal amount of mountain dew lately

However.. I don't eat and play games..

I am 100% OCD over that type of stuff.. I wash my hands every time I touch my controller..

if I go smoke a cigarette or weed. I'll wash my hands every time before coming back to play the game.. if they get sweaty I'll pause the game and go wash them again..

I am a freak about that..

I HATE dirty , grungy controllers... I have friends with controllers I won't even touch.

I don't play COD, but I usually back out of all MP matches when I go to smoke.. I don't smoke inside because it is bad for the consoles. But single player I just pause the game.. unless I'm outside smoking weed for hours.. which happens a lot

most of the time I spend like 20 minutes trying to figure out what game to play because I'm so high.. and then when i finally find the game I need to go outside and get high again to find the motivation to play it.. haha. I'm a weird dude through and through..

The war in Iraq messed me up big time.

[Bathyj]

I gave up smoking.

Im never giving up gaming.

I need ONE addiction.

[sevilha82]

Well in my opinion it's the best way if you really wanna immerse in the game, some of my best single player experinces where high on weed ,but it dosen't work as good if i wanna go to competitive MP, i mean i have fun but my performance isin't as good ;) .

But i really recomend it ,weed is a fantastic drug when used the proper way.

[beakeroo1]

What a stupid question. They don't encourage each other at all. Its like saying do munchies encourage weed?

[objdadon]

Everything is intensified when smoking weed! I used to smoke and play about 12 years ago. Video games don't encourage it though.

[CramShaft]

I don't think one is directly related to the other. There's no problem with enjoying some herb while enjoying some gaming. Back in my early days I became a master of Tekken 3 with Lei Wu Long due to some serious burn sessions and countless hours mastering combos in the dojo. No more of this for me though...career,kids,and day to day responsibilities keep it to a handful of sessions a year.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

Ok let me chime in on this peer pressure thing...... A lot of people seem to be jumping on Lukas.

As a child at the age of 15 I have had the chance to smoke weed but no matter how many times it was presented to me I turned it down no questions asked, and I did that every single time all the way up until I was 20.....

And when I did try it, it was purely on my own accord not one bit from any side of pressure.

It takes a grown ass adult to say yes or to say no regardless of what his choice there are outcomes.

[psuedo]

I started smoking because I wanted to. I was 17 at the time. Im 25 now. It was a little while before call of duty modern warfare came out. I remember watching the first trailer high as shit. My god it was so realistic. Thats one thing it does. It immerses you more. Cod more realistic, racing games feel faster, scary games are more scary. It enhances everything. Have you ever heard your favorite songs/bands high as shit?
Oh.....my.....gawd. music on weed is....orgasam.
HONESTLY though. I dont think it should be legal. Maybe only for medical. Not that its bad. Its just like anything else...it can control your life...just like anything else. Videogames can control peoples lives, tv can control peoples lives. Just like anything in life it can be bad if not done in moderation. Nuff said.

[Donnywho]

Does the need for hits encourage stupid articles?

[AJBACK2FRAG]

When I played Blops One on the Wii if somebody coughed I'd say hold it in it's expensive!!! Every one I know that plays video games smokes pot almost constantly! I think it's like bread and butter. Let's all smoke blunts and chill on Mario Kart 8!!! Yeah! I actually do not particularly care for smoking marijuana I like vaporizing it instead.

[KinjoTakemura]

@Video Games and Marijuana Use: Does One Encourage the Other?

News Flash! The majority of gamers aren't drug addicts.

[mixolydian_id]

Ive spent a fair share of time smoking weed and playing video games.

I quit the weed and still play games.

They're two separate addictions

It's like saying I smoke weed whilst I drive my car... so the two are certainly related.

[GrandpaSnake]

have you ever tried to play a video game..... on weeeeed...

[Blacklash93]

Yes. Everytime I play Mario, I get an uncontrollable urge to smoke pot and get high maaaaaaannnnn.

[AJBACK2FRAG]

Interesting.

[Kidmyst]

During my old NES days it was a bunch of us gaming and eating chips and salsa. Boy how times have changed :)

[jnemesh]

I am VERY tired of seeing sensational news articles trying to link video games to every perceived evil in the world. EVERY time there is some wacko with a gun shooting up the place, SOMEONE tries to pin it on games!

Now we have some fool who is trying to show that weed and video games are linked? PLEASE!

Yes, a lot of people, including myself, smoke weed, and also happen to play games...but to make a link between the two is disingenuous at BEST, and outright deceptive at worst!

America in general, and the media in specific also have to get their minds around the idea that Marijuana should NEVER have been classified as a "Class 1" Narcotic, and that smoking weed does not automatically make you an unemployed (or unemployable) slacker only capable of shoving Cheetos down their throats and playing video games! I have been a regular (daily) smoker for over 15 years, and yet I have a good career, plenty of other hobbies, friends and a decent life!

TL;DR ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP "JOURNALISM"!

[Saryk]

I tripped on acid while playing Zelda on the first nintendo, had a f'in blast! Smoked weed for years playing my PC. Only quit because of the piss test and I have to support my family!

[MasterofMagnetism]

No but that is a badass controller.

[MNGamer-N]

It seems everything is a bit funner to do whilst baked: Eat, Play vids, listen to music, work, wake up in the morning, play with the kids. Time to legalize and drop the stigmatize.

[Phoenix76]

I believe that it was the late great comedian, Bill Hicks, who said on his own use of weed, "didn't hit anybody, didn't kill anybody, didn't rape anybody, didn't lose 'erm' one f@#%ing job!, i laughed my arse off and had a good time!. Sorry.

[Bubbamilk]

Oh hell no!!! Don't dare put us peaceful marijuana user in with these crazy rabid gamers.

You see the marijuana movement is going somewhere but the gaming community is going nowhere except at each others throats it would be detrimental for the marijuana movement to be lumped in with gamers.

On topic tho every game is better when baked!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything is better when baked!!!!!!!!!!!!

At this point that should be undisputed fact

[brando008]

I've been gaming long before I tried bud. Weed seriously just enhances the experience for a lot of games. I advise people to try games like Mirror's Edge, Flower, Journey, WipEout, and The Stanley Parable. Pure bliss ;)

[kryteris]

just another terrible article, using controversial titles to click bate and waste everyone's time.
