When you're high

So I havent done any research on this but yea.
When I got high, I started playing soccer and I thought I was like Messi or something, I felt like I was playing so good lol I dont play soccer at all, there just happened to be a soccer ball around.
However, when I play basketball which I actually do play, I can hardly even shoot the ball or dribble correctly.
So I guess weed does a little reversal psychologically to you? At least when it comes to sports? Am I completely off on this or what

I got the same feeling. When I played basketball stoned (never played on a team) I could play WAY better.
Football I was way worse at when I smoked.
Maybe you just know you could be doing better sober when you actually are good at the sport vs thinking you are better than you are at the sport you can't play.
Who knows?

Lol I had the same thing once, I just kind of convinced myself I was brilliant and no one could take the ball of me all day!
I must say though considering how everyone else was stoned (and shit) it could also be said that I was perhaps just the best player there (and no standards were not high!) as it didnt seem to be working for them!

Sometimes when I high I focus way more on minor actions and stuff, meaning I do better on video games and stuff, but usually it only lasts a few minutes and then I start to fall into a daze and lose focus lol

im not much better/worse on weed but when I do opiates...my god im like Michael Jordan, lol.
I remember last summer I went down to the public court and there was a good amount of people playing. I just got done shooting a bag of heroin so I was feeling great. Now for some reason, me being on heroin made me feel my legs in a jumpshot, and helped me overall feel "lighter" and "looser".
I take a few warmup shots then go for the three-point line. I literally had the whole place cheering for me because I was just NAILING three after three all in a row. Now im a good shooter but not great, I literally stood at the 3 point line and drained at least 12 3s in a row. It was ahmazing

I dont think this has to do with weed as much as the power of the mind. I find that IME, I can become significantly better at something if I believe in myself that I am better at it. I know this sounds cliche, but there have been many studies done with synaptic reinforcement that explain that when you are confident about an action, it is reinforced better in your mind.
Back to the topic kinda...weed certainly makes you better at some things. Basketball is the only sport I find this happens for me though. But I can play the guitar like a boss when I'm high, only compared to half-like-a-boss when I'm sober

It's all about getting in the zone, whether its sports or video games or whatever you like doing, weed definitely puts me in the zone, I'm less distracted and everything just flows, I'm almost on robot mode when I'm in the zone after blazing a couple. It used to help so much when I did contract( get paid on how much you do) work like fruit picking and tree planting and along with feeling no or little pain I was unbeatable for many years at work.

Same here! I love cooking food while high. Last weekend, I discovered that my room mate owns a deep fryer. Holy fuck, that was like winning the lottery when you're stoned. I fucking fried everything in the house.
To get back on topic, in my experience you can convince yourself that you're brilliant at anything while high. I'll sit down with an instrument and think I'm playing phenomenal (I actually play instruments). It just sounds like sex in my ears. I'll record, and it's "meh" at best. I play much better while sober, but I'm also more critical of myself when I'm sober.

I used to play basketball stoned. Either I was WAY off that day, or ON FIRE. I made like 5 three pointers in a row blunted once in a game.

Depends for me. I skateboard, and if I am skating, take a break, smoke with some kids, then get back to it, I'm awesome. Well, I guess the same but just more in the "zone" as everyone says. However, if I were to smoke, then drive and go skate, I probably wouldn't land a single fucking thing. Same thing happens when smoking and driving - if I rip a bong and then get in the car to drive wherever, often times, the high becomes almost overwhelming, mind racing, etc. But if I smoke a joint WHILE driving, even if it's twice the amount I normally smoke, I am completely fine and in the zone. I guess because you gradually feel it coming on stronger and stronger and you're already in the car. But I often ponder this subject
