Marijuana use and the golf game

[Michael Phelps]

How often do you smoke?  I havnt had a weed hangover since highschool...  Now i smoke and within an hour im completly sober.  I do know that i used to golf horribly high, like you i would top it, hook, and over shoot the green's.  Now i find that it calm's me down and helps to relax me, no more freaking out about a poorly hit shot.

Weed hangover; didn't know it existed.  You and Carl Spackler must have smoked the front nine.  Probably just an off day; I have more than my share of them, especially in the early season.

LOL at "Michael Phelps".

It's remarkable how many people actually know what the effect could be a day later. I don't have any experiential input to give regarding pot but alcohol hangovers definitely have a negative effect on my game so I would imagine weed would do the same.

Well when i say weed hangover i kinda mean in a haze the next day, i remember feeling like that when i first started taking a couple tokes here and their. Also smoking a high grade of hash(concentrated trichomes from the marijuana plant for those who dont know) can def keep you high for a good 12 hours leaving a strange after glow.

im not saying it is like a hangover...

My mind just drifts, hand-eye coordination isn't quite as sharp the next day.

focus is the most important thing in golf and marijuana does the exact opposite

It wouldn't affect your motor skills, hand eye coordination, and whatnot the next day.  If your not used to it, you could definitely feel "burnt out" or a little weighed down the next day which could certainly affect concentration...

I got what your saying, everything is somewhat in a haze.  To be honest i think it kinda depends on the person, because for me it's only helped my focus, it slows my thought process down allowing me to focus shot by shot and not hole by hole.  Also like i said, if i hit a bad shot its whatever, i dont freak out and ruin the next couple holes because of it.

I remember in college one of my golf buddies would smoke right on the course... he was a great golfer and he would get high as a kite!  He was around a  10-12 hc and would empty out his cigarette and fill it with the green stuff... I was always worried we'd be arrested or something lol maybe just some of his paranoia rubbing off on me haha... I know the worst rounds I've played have been due to lack of sleep or hangover from the night before.  So I cant imagine a "weed hangover" being any different.

Weed hangover? Has everyone that is claiming this exists actually done the drug?

Yep ive used it everyday for over 5 years.  A weed Hangover does exist, it's not like an alcohol hangover which is what im assuming everyone is comparing it to.  More or less if you smoke to much and everything is somewhat in a haze the next day..  This really only applys to people who rarely smoke though.

I can only say that the only time I played high in high school was the only time I was the medalist, LOL

Haven't touched the stuff since I graduated from college almost 15 years ago.

Watch alittle to much reefer madness? Lol man you should just relax and take a puff.  There is nothing wrong with smoking the herb, as has been proven over the past 10 years that it has ton's of tremendous quality's.

There is alot of sucessful people who smoke herb, IE Michael Phelps.
