How many people actually do this? I saw Jeff say he competed high most of the time, so I was just curious if this was a popular practice. I personally feel like smoking before i roll helps significantly. Just seems to allow me to relax and flow a little better. Im still in my beginning stages of JJ so its not all muscle reflex yet.. But it just feels like while im grappling high.. i stop over thinking things and see a lot more possibilities rather than get stuck focusing on one submission. I notice a lot more transitions during my high sessions. Rather than getting stuck mid-submission and waiting around or trying to force it, im much quicker to abort and transfer to the next line of attack. Though Ive only been in 2 tournaments, and the 2nd one i smoked when i got there, but by the time i had my match a few hours later i was back to my normal self. So I was just curious how many of you prefer competing under the influence of the ganja.

Dude what you say about "seeing a lot more possibilities rather than get stuck focusing on just one submission" is EXACTLY how i described it. It literally opens your mind grappling wise - at least for some people.

Indeed. Do you know what strain you use typically? I actually tried grappling high for the first time after I heard eddie mention using "green crack". So I gave it a shot and instantly fell in love. It just seemed perfect for me. Though honestly, I know its a common opinion (that i share) that sativa dominant is the way to go while grappling. But for me, If i choose between grappling sober or using an indica.. Ive found that i still get a lot of the same benefits with an indica dominant. Not so much with the thought process.. But the ability to relax and not rush. And not over commit to certain moves. But Ive also noticed that i tend to smoke less if its an indica just so im careful not to overdue it and just get lazy on the mats. :P
