Golden tiger and football.

[Baron Greenback]

Last night I played my first match for my local veterans team. I sensibly ate at the right time, hydrated correctly all day then decided to have a big golden tiger doobie. After about 10 minutes, this seemed like a terrible error (not getting lean, but getting too lean).
During the warm up (in goal as I don't do running), things went ok, I almost looked like a keeper. The match started and some hopeless buffoonery ensued. 2-0 down after 10 minutes.
However, the golden tiger did its thing, concentration was enhanced, lots of diving and just general on it-ness, I had a really good game. I'm going to try the same again for the next match, in the name of science of course but I'm sure it is performance enhancing for me.
Anyone else got a strain that is good for sport?

Michael Phelps -the Olympian champion- might have some good suggestions. Very interesting story, Baron! Just hope that your opponents don't adopt your warm-up strategy or you may go back to looking merely mortal again.

 

[Baron Greenback]

It is assumed cannabis isn't performance enhancing but I almost felt I knew what the opposition player was going to do and it was just my utter lack of talent that prevented me saving it.
It could certainly change the perception of actions observed and reactions to those actions.
I certainly didn't get upset at losing so maybe that's a positive (although I could just be used to that by now).

I would for sure consider some strains performance enhancers in some areas. Almost anything that requires quick reaction or anticipatory thinking.

I think it does enhance perception in some unknown way. And also removes inhibition. So you won't question or over think the information coming in. You just react to it kinda of instinctively but with more control.

But maybe it doesn't really enhance anything but just gives you some focus and the ability to trust yourself without second guesses and inhibition always working against you. In other words it keeps you from holding yourself back for all those stupid reasons in our head.

I know it's not quite the same, but I am an avid bass fisherman, spend way too much time chasing them and way too much money according too Mrs. Pot Pie. I do find that a good sativa is great to have in the boat, the clarity and focus can be just amazing. I think it helps with lighter tackle techniques and sight fishing a whole bunch. I like to night fish for them too, usually alone and I have to say that although it can be a little intense at first, after a few minutes it becomes amazing, you notice way more than when smoking an indica. In fact because it's night you see way more critters, way more stars and night sky action plus the fishing is crazy good.

Yes WeetisPotPie, nothing like a couple of fat doobies and a day on the bass boat at the lake!

I've been chasing super clear highs for this purpose for a while but I'm finding more and more that I like a touch of a hybrid effect to slow me down a little. Can't be power fishing all the time.

For me it was night catfishing on the banks of the Mississippi. ,,,,I miss those hot summer nights.

 

[ChaosCatalunya]

Likewise, but it was night Catfishing on the Ebro, we managed to convince one visitor that the frenzied splashing of 150/200lb Wels catfish feeding was crocodiles, overgrown pets locals chucked into the river we said. Mega baked on outdoor Sativa, he had no trouble believing we were in great danger....

 

[Kalbhairav]

I used to play a lot of footie under the influence but never anything semi serious, and never high grade sativa. Might have to try this out and see if it blends..

 

[Baron Greenback]

It's definitely worth a try - if the worst happens and you are really bad (like me), at least you have had a big doobie and that lessens the pain
I'm definitely doing it before every match.

 

[mukuku]

it works once not two....

 

[dubi]

I'm still amazed you can smoke a Golden Tiger fatty before a public match!
it's like taking a bit of acid and go to a public event

I'm glad it worked for you, thank you all for sharing your funny histories.

 

[Baron Greenback]

It definitely makes losing less annoying. I do find I drift off a bit, but I shall continue nonetheless. There's not much that isn't enhanced by a huge golden tiger doobie I find

 

[Highsenburg831]

i like to burn before surfing
ive had a few of my best sessions baked
im in my own head a lot of time and thinking too much while surfing isnt a good thing
i grow and smoke mostly OGs and OG isnt good pre surf weed
im too relaxed
thats why i recently loaded up on ace gear
i got banghi haze, nepal jam, panama and golden tiger
we will see which is best
i grew out some bagseed i found in a sack i got on a surf trip down in way southern oaxaca and it has the right effect
dont have the mom anymore
but i have a couple dozen seeds left

I'm just getting back into the gym now after about 7 months. Before I was forced to take time off I regularly smoked before training and I personally am not quite sure wether it enhanced my performance but I can say I definitely preferred to burn before going to lift. Maybe I'm just a pothead

I fully agree sativa is fantastic for competition or any active sport. Used to do a doob of Kali mist before racing cars. And no I don't want to hear how bad that is. Get a car and beat me then preach lol.

Some indicas are great for killing the nerves before a match but I feel most slow me down to much. Haze, NL x haze, Kali mist, some random Sativa's, all performance enhancing.

Oddly for golf I prefer a nice indica. Nebula from paradise was no good, add 10 strokes lol, but the indica seemed to clear my head and talk a calm approach to the game. Racing forget indica, electric sativa all the way!

And to the OP, you must always be mildly upset when losing. That's the fuel for improvement my friend! Go kick their ass C-Bass!

 

[Baron Greenback]

Racing cars? Must have been more like intergalactic travel after a doob of that
I agree indica is a bit too sluggish for active sport, great for snooker though. I do prefer a sativa dominant for most things, but pure seem to be best for sport.
And no, I am so used to losing it doesn't really upset me now, I'm usually over it by 2 weeks later
It would be nice to win, I'd even take a draw, I've now conceded 18 in 4 matches and I've played pretty well (obviously this is all relative to the appalling level I play at).
