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.
"The Singapore-based indie games publisher Spiral Up Games and Qingdao/Shandong-based (China) indie games developer Aluba Studio, today announced with great happiness and excitement that their hacking adventure "Cyber Manhunt 2: New World" is coming to PC via Steam EA on May 10th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

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.
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.
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
