Smoking marijuana and lifting weights
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what working out can do for you if you smoke marijuana...I know how long the thc stays in your system varies with how often and long you've been smoking along with other circumstances, but can you actually sweat it out of your system?
By the way, I am not advocating marijuana so please dont kick me off the forum:)
Re: Smoking marijuana and lifting weights
Marijuana could actually be a great supplement to someone trying to gain weight, and there is actually medicinal usage for this exact reason. I am not advocating that you become a burnout, like anything responsibility is the best thing to advocate.
Ideally, in terms of benefits for the gym, you would use a vaporizer, so as not to actually be introducing smoke to your lungs. While there hadn't been any good studies that link marijuana smoke to lung cancer, you should still consider it a smoke.
It would be nice if there was a way to isolate the effects on hunger, but I am only aware of a drug that uses the cannabis receptor for suppressing appetite. The opposite would be a huge benefit to hard gainers (....and by that I mean guys who can't eat).
Of course isolating that effect would be great, but then you miss the fun.

its ok for youngsters as "recreational" drug for occasional use, thats it.
It can be used as medicine in some cases.
maybe I'm not objective, I hate those type of singers/bands that promote marijuana, alcohol and gangster style. I would send them all to work on cornfields or to grow cabbage, or to work in forest or some other decent labour.
psychotic? xplain? thats interesting
