Yeah me too. I might shoot at the wrong ball. It's so hard to believe that it is an enhancer for others but
I know of at least one pro who doobied up before every match at the WPC in Cardiff.
Desoxyn-Methamphetamine Hydrochloride-the name says it all.
I know what you mean.
Things change once you have a child....
Well for me it did.
My dad wasn't always there for me sooooo
I decided to be there for them for the times I never had mine around.
My dad was a lifer in the military.
I still love him and he did what did because he believed it was for my future and my kids future. I have to respect that. He was an actor in Hollywood then we he had me he decided to stop tryig to make his dreams come true and make me his. I love my dad. I can only hope when my kids grow up they love me as much as I love mine.
I find it funny how people call taking pills "substance abuse" yet if they are prescribed then it's simply "use".
The fact is that ANYTHING which alters your state of being and assists you in performing better is a performance enhancer. It could be tantric breathing, it could be Queen, it could be orange juice, coffee, nicotine, or pills.
Some people get it from certain drugs or herbs that work for them and other people get it through self-hypnosis.
People can be disgusted all they want to but it's just life. In the "wild" natives often chew on certain roots to enhance their awareness when hunting. They mix up concoctions to take to gain entrance to the spirit world.
It's not like any of this is new.
Cocaine used to be dispensed at the pharmancy like aspirin.
Only the law changes, not the human need to feel good. Humans have been ingesting everything they can since the dawn of time to "enhance" their lives.

You could try LSD.
I haven't tried to shoot pool on LSD, but I have found that it helps one focus. I once focused for four hours on a spot in an oven I was cleaning. In pool, though, if there is a shot clock, being on LSD may be a disadvantage.
It can also help you enjoy the game, regardless of how good you play. You may enjoy watching the balls go in the holes. But, you also may try to shoot at the wrong ball, or even at what you think is a ball, but isn't.
If you have a bad trip, though, it could be a nightmare...

I somehow doubt it. Consider the trails you'd be getting from the balls.
I would think it wouldn't take long to fk up large. They'd find you hiding under a 9 footer a few hours later.
I've experimented, in my younger days of course. I saw monsters, walls move
snakes crawling around my dashboard. Beer is much safer, as long as you don't drink and drive.

ok, it's official, we need someone to conduct a scientific experiment testing all the drugs and their effect on pool performance. The volunteer needs to record it all with a camera and blog about it. They can multitask by setting a new world record for both time awake and days playing pool. Someone look into getting a government grant for this!
OK, I volunteer to be a Guinea pig.
PM me for my home address so all participating can send me samples.
On a side note, I had a major op on my brain a few years back and have been prescribed Oxy for the pain I experience on a daily basis.
I'm so used to it now that I'd have to abuse it by taking more than my daily doses. It doesn't affect my game in any way per se. In fact, at times I'm more liable to fall asleep than be as sharp as I can be so in the long run its probably more of a detriment than help.

Include nicotine in this and I agree!
Hello all. I take the drug that Efren Reyes usually takes before he snaps off a major tournament or a major gambling session. Oh, wait. That's not a drug, it's talent. And you can't buy it. Nevermind. Go about your business everyone...
Have seen coke more than anything else around here. Beta blockers just starting to come onto the scene. In my experience, most of them who used coke to play better were addicted to the stuff. I mean, when a guy is doing a bump before his league match on Tuesday night, or before jumping in a dollar/dollar ring game he's got a problem.
I had a lot of friends over the years who thought they played better after smoking pot, despite me telling them it wasn't the case. Guess I should look those guys up and thank them for helping pay my way though college.

I'm all for drug-testing at major tournaments. I suppose they could buy the home-test kits for every tournament... but that might be over the budget of the current tournament sanctioning or promotional organizations. They're not terribly expensive from what I've heard though... I would love to see it implemented SOON.
I wonder why some people think drugs don't make anyone play better. They may not make some people play better, but they DEFINITELY make others play better and that's a stone-cold fact. Whether it be chemical or psychological, there's something to be said for a drug addict's "mixture."
Whether is was someone like Greenleaf of Louie Roberts, when they got the right chemical amount ---- put on your bullet-proof vest because you're gonna get fired on til you pull up.
Those who say drugs only make some people "think" they play better hasn't been around real players who have "real" mixtures.
Beta-blockers 100000% make people play better. How can removing nerves/anxiety before a match NOT help someone play better?
C'mon people, wake up.

You are absolutely correct, John. There are MANY enhancers, some of them legal and some of them illegal. Some of them are drugs and some of them or other types of enhancers.
EVERYONE is trying to improve their performance even if it's only getting a good night's rest. Everyone, except maybe those weed-heads. lol, j/k, ok, maybe just a little. :grin: :duck:
You're absolutely correct Dave. A few things you left out though is that sometimes they never got the mixture right and hit the bathroom 50 times trying and you could bust them. Other times if you had the money, you could fade it until their high wore off. You could put the stall on them and slowplay them to death. But sometimes, they played perfect pool all night and there was nothing you could do about it. It's pretty scary playing someone you are pretty sure is going to hit a high gear against you if you're clean.
I have no idea if you are the personal trainer of all the pros you named above, or if you are there boyfriend,
but dont say things like because they are fitness fanatics they dont take any pills or drugs or whatever.
SORRY, BUT NODODY KNOWS THAT, until.....................................
...............they all will be tested for doping like pros should be tested all the time.
When I think about american professional sports like baseball or football,
and that they started with steroid tests only a few years ago - sorry, but thats sick. :speechless::banghead:
Let them all do DOPING test about all two to three months - then we will know something.
AND THEN WE WILL REALLY KNOW IT, not thinking to know something.
Hope that opened up some eyes, but I really think there is no top professional in any sports without doping
At least any sort of it, don´t have to be steroids or hard drugs, but still doping
Eric"h" ------- only my 2 cent
I'll tell em.
All the top 50 women or men are on a strict program of Mary Jane and Jaegermeister.
It is worth 3 balls, but you gotta do it for a month to get it dialed in.
