Need Help - Staking/Smoking Pot Question

[ QUOTE ]
This does not have to be an 8 page thread. The OP (I said "OP" tytyt) is asking if he should make it an issue, not whether smoking pot is good or bad for playing poker.

I interpreted him as asking whether he should make it an issue BECAUSE he was unsure of the acute effects that smoking pot has on playing poker, not whether he has the power or not as the backer to make that decision. Of course the backer can exclude anyone for any reason.

I do have to admit to being quite surprised by the number of people who admit that it has at least some negative effects. As I recall from some reading I did awhile back, acute negative effects on cognition are well established. Chronic effects of marijuana usage are debatable.
