Gaming and Cannabis

• Duke Nukem

  Staying in for a night of alien slaying and saving the people of Earth from certain destruction? Lock and load some Duke Nukem into your mission. Duke Nukem is a sativa dominant hybrid that is celebrated for its ability to inspire creativity and take over the user with bursts of energy. Very useful for prolonged missions, for the good of the planet of course. An increase in sociability and chattiness is also a likely effect, which is optimal, considering that saving the world is rarely a one-man gig. Without creating the “jitters,” this hybrid strain is well balanced, with just enough amp and no burn-out toworry about, as the effects wear off in a smooth and gradual way. But gamers beware; there is a significant chance that a successful conclusion to the Alien Invasion won’t end until after an equally successful attack on the kitchen. Duke Nukem is excellent for morning or afternoon use, so using it to beam up on a Saturday morning and hitting the control center could be a delightful way to kick off the weekend.

• Bird's Eye

  Endowing great focus and mental clarity, Bird’s Eye is a slightly sativa-dominant hybrid that just might help your in-game aim. In fact, this newly acquired focus is so abundant that not only does it sharpen one’s thoughts and ideas, but it has been reported to steady one’s attention, likely drawing on the calming properties of the indica genetics. Whether the cannabis makes us focus because we become more interested, or we become more interested because we’re able to focus, with the help of Bird’s Eye we can faithfully lock our attention on shooting straight and hitting the bull’s eye. While useful for problem solving, quick-scoping, and enjoying the mission, Bird’s Eye usually tests as a high-potency strain, making dosage an important consideration; an excessive amount can bring about effects that are opposite to those intended. For that reason, it is best to start slow and after some time passes, consume a little more. Make sure to give the indica genetics a little bit of time to take over and induce full body relaxation, without diminishing a delightful cerebral ride.

When combined with the immersive modern audio-visual experience of today’s gaming systems, the peak effects of LSD will induce a sensation of soaring through the surreal sceneries of any gaming reality. The ease with which LSD puts one’s feel back on the ground can vary, depending on factors like varying cannabinoid profile or one’s existing tolerance for cannabis, not to mention dosage. When properly dosed, LSD’s unique psychedelic qualities and relaxing effects make it an excellent choice for daytime use and a fitting addition to anyone’s gaming repertoire. And in addition to its pleasant mental effects, gamers can enjoy the lingering scents of chestnuts followed sweet, musky notes.
