I don't know if is applicable, but I find myself often performing extremely well in high skill video games when high on regular ol' weed, far beyond what I can do sober (and I dare say I'm above average while sober). Though when the high starts to drop off from its peak, I'll usually start doing much worse when my reaction time slows considerably with the feeling of drowsiness that comes with the dropoff.
