You mean you smoked pot? Playing while high may affect your motor skills in terms of fingerings and partials, but I'm not too sure, never having smoked pot myself. I think everyone gets a different kind of high.
If you mean you smoked cigarettes, then that will most likely affect your breath support, and since you're a brass player, pretty much be your downfall.

Quit. Now. It's for your own good. It might not seem like it now, but trust me... I just lost my father a few days ago because he used to always smoke as a kid... Please, don't make the same mistake. Besides the fact that it will hurt you in band, it'll ultimately take your life. Smoking isn't something you should be messing with at this age...

Hey stupid, quit smoking. There's this helpful little thing called breathing. It's good. Smoking kinda hurts your chances of doing it. You need that breathing that thing to survive. You also need it to play an instrument.
Isn't being blunt fun?

i guess im just the exception to all of these rules i have been smoking since my freshman year [senior now] and im in the top 5 players in the state [i play trumpet]
i can smoke all i want and quit when i feel like it.
so yeah my advise would be to quit if you wanted to but its ultimately your decision no matter what anyone here says it up to you on what you do with your life

Cherry Flavored N I N J A i guess im just the exception to all of these rules i have been smoking since my freshman year [senior now] and im in the top 5 players in the state [i play trumpet] i can smoke all i want and quit when i feel like it. so yeah my advise would be to quit if you wanted to but its ultimately your decision no matter what anyone here says it up to you on what you do with your life it's harder than you think my cousin tried to quit and he was clean for 9 days and he started again.
and that breathing thing again, yeah. you need it. a LOT!!! And if you smoke for a year or two you can still DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it doesn't matter how long you smoke it still affects you health and breathing, which affects your playing!!!!!!!!!!! if you don't listen to this advice these SENSIBLE people are giving you then you a F********* IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'nuff said.
being blunt is fun.
