Marijuana and Athletic Training

[Hellawulf]

I originally posted this as part of a discussion about my diet, but I figured this part in particular would be a good thread on this forum...

Reasons I think marijuana helps training: makes you eat the entire house and when your not eating, unless your having sex, your thinking about what your going to eat next (and after sex, you really want something to eat even more), then after you have eaten like a pig for a couple hours, while playing video games, you get knocked right out, and you sleep the next 8-10 hours, then you wake up like nothing ever happened... plus physically it spikes your metabolism, i.e. part of the reason we get super munchies, and though it lowers your test levels while actually "high" they spike afterwards and continue to stay at a higher rate for quite some time... not to mention the best effect being lowered stress levels, which research shows that long term stress (NOT SHORT TERM) can actually cause the body to store fat and deteriorate muscle (slightly, but even slightly can create a complete pause on even the best workout routines).

Draw backs from Marijuana: You can't smoke too much or you'll have overall lowered ambition levels (i.e. "Aw I'll skip the gym today, its alright, I'm already starting to see good results...") and its illegal ....

Anyone else?

rule #4) We dont discuss the use of recreational drugs. There's no place for that on a Fitness and Bodybuilding Board.

ya i know its a herb blah blah blah.. i don't make the rules my friend, I do NOT smoke it but if i had it my way I would make it legal and tax the crap out of it like they do tobacco as its way safer than alcohol which kills more people than anything else.

i will give ya a warning this time but from now on leave that kind of stuff to the C&C board where the rules are more loose. thanks!
