I would say its a case to case basis, but overall id say very generally no it doesn't change anything. for most who think it does, at least they think it does and it builds their confidence. for me it does because I have injuries that cause soreness when seated for too long along with self diagnoses add and im very wrestles, so it just chills me out so I can relax and think for hours at a time. but then sometimes im stoned and make a burnout mistake haha
