Do you use drugs before playing chess?

I smoke weed whenever I play on lichess. Playing chess is fun when you're high. If my opponent is taking a long time, I'll roll another spliff.

The only thing that i might be using as a drug is silence i can play better with it than load noise

Drugs are the horrible and harmful things for teenagers. And in lichess, there are many teenager Chess Players so don't write these things in forums. This would have a bad impact on the kids and teenagers.

I love to play Tequila chess where the pawns are replaced by a shot glass of Tequila. If you capture a pawn you have to drink it.

Makes up for some interesting games but turns you into an alcoholic.

Coffee with L-Theanine added and dark chocolate for the theobromine content.

Mostly with everyone else, no.
I am also 9 and not even a teen....Hw about u?

I had no idea this forum had so many kids in it. Seriously. Weed is legal in my state for recreational use. To me it's neither here nor there. If you want to play baked, it should neither hinder nor help you, if you're used to the effects. It probably makes more of a difference if you're hungry, or thirsty, or sleepy, or just tilting.

Long sleep and play early in the moring works for me. The only problem is that after a cup of coffee stomach riots and I usually need a 2 minute break in the middle of my second blitz game. I think this is caused by coffee+adrenaline.

Uhh... Why does this exist? I mean, caffiene is technically a drug, and sometimes I do drink soda during a match, so technically yes. With drug-drugs, no.

My drug is Starbucks Popcorn.
