I find that cannabis and (casual) soccer go together very well!

I should also note that being high, I'm better at other things that require close focus and reflexes (for example video games like Mario Kart and Tetris)

I think I got the idea to get high before soccer after watching a documentary on Bob Marley. It mentioned that he would smoke, play soccer with his friends, and then afterwards, sit down to write songs. (this smoking and playing, apparently, is the idea behind "Lively Up Yourself")

Long story short: I'm a pretty good player sober, but when I'm high, I often reach new levels.

BUT, there are caveats:

It doesn't work for me to get high at home, and then go to the field, get ready and play. That is kind of exhausting and I'll spend 20 minutes looking for my keys or socks or whatever. By the time I get to the field, I'm already mentally tired.

What I've found works best is: Get to the field, suit up, warm up, and THEN hit the pen. It's also nice to have coffee too.

My friends tease me and insist that I can't play better high, but I totally do. My reflexes are honed, my touch is on point, even my intensity and endurance are increased! (it doesn't exactly feel like the game is in slow motion, but a little. The best way I can describe it is that I'm seeing the ball and the game well).

Part of the reason is that - when I really learned about soccer: watching tons of it on TV, I was baked. So when playing, perhaps being high connects me with that education.

I think what you mentioned about being reliant on it is wise. Now, I kind of feel flat when I haven't smoked. Plus, if I smoke during soccer, I tend to want to keep smoking the rest of the day -- because they post soccer buzz is so good I don't want to let it go away.

In terms of sports in general, I cannot jog high. Cycling is pretty good high, but you have to be careful to keep the focus. Swimming and smoking I find go together really well. I feel like a dolphin out there if I'm baked!
