I can fully believe this. Although pot ususally makes me scatterbrained, and I've never played poker stoned (didn't start playing til I joined the military) I used to play chess quite a lot with a few friends of mine, very competitive games. However when we were stoned the games were even better thought out. I can't explain this and I don't want anyone going on a "Just Say No" rant but something about a cerebral game (which I consider poker on par with chess in that category) and a little weed just gel together.

P.S. To get technical pot+adderol is even better.
