I tried playing video games stoned for the first time in my 50s – and I have some thoughts | Dominik Diamond

Marijuana is legal where I live in Canada, so I decided to give it a try and see whether it would improve my gaming experience - or just end in a panic attack

I have a complicated relationship with marijuana. I wish I liked it more. But I'm a control freak, and so it makes me relax for about three minutes before sending me into a panic attack because I have lost control.

I live in Canada, where it's legal, with government shops full of wacky baccy wares in all shapes and sizes. They even have lurid canned drinks, like some form of anti-Red Bull. It's all very tempting. And I have never tried video games stoned.
