Anyone else think smoking enhances their fighting ability?

For some reason when I get high (especially with bush) I always get the urge to spar/fight, and find myself constantly jabbing my brother when he walks past, and pretending to elbow him in the face etc.

I'll be going back to Muay Thai/MMA soon, and I'm going to see if my suspicions are true; that I fight a lot better when I'm high than when I'm not. I seem to be really aware, and always on the ball when I smoke before I have a muck around fight or a spar. I've currently only tested this on untrained fighters, but I'm wondering if anyone else feels the same.
 
oh dude totally, totally. why do you think they strip medals in the olympics bro? pot is a performance ENHANCER like that. makes people jump up n shout nah mean
 
If it's a Sativa, then yes, I enjoy training high. However, the last thing I want to do when I am high is fight, whether it's a Sativa or Indica it doesn't really matter. If I'm training high it keeps me focused, but otherwise smoking makes me mellow (aka. not violent).
 
There are two distinct groups amongst the pot smokers in my town - literally known as the Dark Side and the Good Side.
When the Dark side get high, they talk inane bullshit and beat the crap out of each other, bullying the ones who can't stand up for themselves but feel like they need to follow those buttholes.
However, my side channel their highness into intellectual or productive things like discussion, sharing good music, reading, dancing around and laughing. We're nice to each other.

The dark side know no better. I'm so glad I'm not with them.
 
lol - I have no fighting ability to begin with. If someone tried to fight me when stoned I'd be all like: "Woah man.... lets love not fight man..."

Nah I'd probably just get my ass kicked sober or stoned.

See, pretty much all weed gives me that urge to train, with the exception of some really stony Indica's. It doesn't make me mellow as in "fighting is bad", but sometimes you can just be too lazy haha. But I'm glad to hear that other people do enjoy training when they are high :D.
 
i can see it.

i don't fight, but do run and weight train at a pretty high intensity. smoking seems to get me in touch with my "crazy" and makes it easier to get in and stay in a focused, aggressive state of mind.
 
blazing has always helped me in jiu jitsu and wrestling.
When it comes to striking it fucks me up though.

Yes, a mild bowl of sativa before my workout is quite nice on occasion. :)

I'm not a violent person, and have never gotten into physical conflict after smoking. However, cannabis is one of the most mellow and chill drugs I use, and I have not seen many fights involving stoners.

I have no intention of fighting, stoned or otherwise. :D
 
Completely opposite effect for me. Alcohol on the other hand..
 
No it definately kills it. When I used to smoke everyday all my mates who I smoked with were into fighting and we would spar heaps. If you have a tolerance it doesn't affect it heaps but it still does make you shitter.

Also if you have a high enough tolerance that smoking doesn't hinder your abilities much then chances are your lungs are fried as fuck anyway and you have no stamina.

Everyone in this thread is stoned as fuck.

If any of you beleive being stoned on indica or sativa is going to AID your fighting skills, you've smoked way too many sacks of weed.

Well, smoking puts me in a good mind state for it, and I find it helps me improve my game all round.

See, I sometimes find alcohol to hinder it - mainly because I can feel quite "groggy" and bloated in some situations.

See, I have a decent tolerance most of the time, but I'm high all day every day, so it doesn't really affect me in that sort of way. And I definitely notice an improvement in my technique right after I smoke. As for my lungs and stamina, well only time will tell. I'm definitely not as fit as I was before I started smoking, but my lungs aren't dead (at least yet) so I think I can definitely become fitter than I was before.

MMA fighter Nick Diaz says smoking marijuana is part of his plan

Haha that's awesome... I'll check it out for sure.
 
Smoking pot makes me less inclined to fight, even if someone got right up in my face i'd probably let it slide, but actual fighting? no way i'd be far too slow.

Pretty much all Indicas incapacitate me lol, but Sativas just drive me to go do something. Always get that energy rush on them. It doesn't make me mellow as in "fighting is bad," because fighting is bad -whether I'm sober, drunk, or high I can come to this conclusion. It makes me mellow to the point where I rather not bother... I guess you can call it laziness if you will.

Exactly, take some NO-XPLODE and rip a small bowl of a nice Sativa before your work out and you'll be in the zone. Then after you work out, a nice protein shake and a joint of Indica... :)

I agree, I really don't see much violent action amongst stoners. Joking around with your friends and wrestling a bit is one thing but people fighting in general after they're high is just weird and peculiar behavior IMO. Fighting high, sober, drunk is just lame. Protecting yourself and your interests are one thing but going out of your way to fight is another thing.

Many MMA fighters, especially BJJ train high. Not sure how many blaze before fights, but it's definitely known to train high. It's the only way you can absorb the moves into your subconscious IMO. Then once you're in that particular situation, you just seem to know what to do.

Yes a friend of mine is really into MMA/UFC and he smokes tons of weed. But it's not like he goes out looking for fights, he just knows how to defend himself very well.
 
back when i used to burn i was wrestling and my morning wake and bake would always amp me up and get me in the mood to go run.
 
I used to fence in high school. When I got to college, having never smoked weed, I began to smoke a lot. At one point I decided to go try out the college's fencing club, and went blazed out of my skull (as I did to most things at that time). I completely dominated them to the point where I decided there was no reason to go back.

So maybe... Actually, I might go so far as to say definitely.
