Cannabis and video game culture
Cannabis and video game culture intersect. Media often covers both topics, sometimes together. This mix can change how people play or what they try to do in games. For example, Imran Hafiz created Chicken Dreams, a cinematic piece inside Grand Theft Auto V.
Some esports leagues and gaming venues acknowledge cannabis use among players in different ways. Stories describe cannabis as helping, hurting, or changing the gaming experience. Research suggests that video game addiction and cannabis use can reinforce each other, especially among teens.
Cannabis is often shown as taboo in media. Because of that, some mainstream censors will allow games with murder but ban games that show cannabis use as normal. There is also a game about cannabis that acts as an industrial production and marketing simulator.
