The best way to smoke weed (short of a vaporizer, of which I know nothing about) is to smoke a joint. The weed is the best filter of weed smoke ever (much better than water). Of course when you get down to the roach the benefits lessen considerably.

Re: Re: Smoking on cycle

And what about smoking during a cycle?

I´ve heard somewhere that cannabis decreases your levels of testosterone, is this true?

It's a myth

There are positive and negative studies. The pro-cannabis crowd usually latches onto the negative studies and shouts "no proof of effect." These discrepencies between studies with marajuana as smoked are still being researched. It is clear, however, that isolated THC produces a predictable decrease in LH and testosterone.

While I'm no hardcore anti-cannabis nut, I am a fitness nut. Cannabis has great potential to limit athletic potential and therefore has no place in a dedicated athletes regime in my book.

The nonpsychoactive cannabinoids may be even more toxic than THC. According to Dr. Roy Hart, "Cannabidiol (CBD) exerts an important effect on the hippocampus which is part of the limbic system of the brain, a collection of interfunctioning units concerned with emotion. CBD produces a depression of hippocampal function...Thus far experimental evidence indicates that CBD is even more toxic to tissues than THC." 16. [Emphasis added] Dr. Gabriel Nahas, Research Professor, New York University, states that cannabionids other than THC (CBN and CBD) also impair dividing cells, and "are even more potent than THC when it comes to inhibiting DNA production." 17.
Dr. Hart further states that "Both the psychoactive and nonpsychoactive cannabinoids occurring in nature interfere with protein synthesis, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis, and ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis.

Longtime cannabis researcher, Dr. Gabriel Nahas says that research has shown that the most serious adverse consequences of consumption of THC and other cannabinoids have been observed at the earliest state of reproductive function, on the "gametes" or germ cells of man. These drugs cause damage to the genetic information contained in DNA, causing apoptosis (programmed cell death and deletion). This threatens future generations before they are conceived. 19.

"The effects of pot on athletic performance are increased reaction time, decreased fine motor coordination, and increased heart rate. These effects, along with vasodilating effect , cause an athlete to reach maximum heart rate at a lower than normal intensity of excersise, which decreases maximum work capacity."

Marijuana -

Studies consistently show that marijuana interferes with growth and reproductive hormones. This is of particular significance to developing adolescents who are going through a very vulnerable period of rapid and complex biochemical changes.

The chemicals in marijuana affect the parts of the brain which control and regulate the sex and growth hormones. In males, marijuana can decrease the testosterone level. Testosterone is a major growth hormone and is essential to the completion of the growth process in young males. This process, including the broadening of shoulders, enlargement of muscles in the chest, biceps, and buttocks, deepening of the voice, beard growth and genital development, is dependent on adequate hormone levels. For a long time parents and physicians have described the typical male "pot head" as having narrow shoulders, lack of muscle development (particularly in upper arms, chest, buttocks and upper leg), pale looking face and heavy-lidded eyes. Pediatricians and endocrinologists report increasing cases of pubertal arrest which seem to be marijuana- related. The occasional cases of enlarged breasts in male marijuana users seem to be triggered by the chemical impact on the hormone system.

Regular marijuana use is also associated with a decrease in sperm count and sperm motility, as well as significant increases in abnormal and immature sperm. In many of the sperm, the transmission of DNA is altered and chromosomes are rearranged. Recent animal studies have raised serious concerns that chromosomal aberrations and genetic mutations may be transmitted from the father to the next generation of male offspring. Marijuana is a contributing factor in the rising problem of infertility in males. Young males should know the effects and potential effects of marijuana use on sex and growth processes.

To cast further doubt about safety, the Journal of Immunology (July 2000) recently reported that THC, the major psychoactive component of marijuana (hemp), "can promote tumor growth by impairing the body's anti-tumor immunity system."

I am a POTHEAD. If you smoke a lot everyday there is no way you can smoke before going to workout because you won't be able to lift as much wieght, the energy will disappear oncew the high is gone. I always get more vascular right after I smoke, I mean right after. I know for a FACT that weed mimics estrogen because sometimes when I go all out and hit the bong from when I wake up to when I go to sleep, I get bloated as a motherfucker. My face looks like im on test. Also my chest gets HELLA puffy and pointy. If you guys want to use something to make you eat, dont just use weed.. You can still get full even when your stoned. If you take a xanax and smoke a few bowls, you will NOT GET FULL NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU EAT, AND EVERYTHING TASTE GOOD EVEN PROTIEN SHAKES AND TUNA.

Hell brotha, I dunno what kinda schwagg your smokin, but my hunger never stops when Im stoned. I'll go through a Double Western Bacon X-Large Combo Meal at Carl's and still be ready for another!!!

FYI I get some of the best chronic in the US, right here in fresno california. Not that far from humboldt county.

 

[hitmeoff]

Great, hook me up with a dub! Im just a few hours away!!

everybody needs 2 escape reality once and a while and everybody knows drinking is a no when juicing... so smoke up is my process and advise.

I smoke daily. I always puff after working out - it helps increase the appetite. I find it helps me relax. I usually spend about a half hour stretching after I go to the gym and weed puts me in the right frame of mind. A lot of people I know don't do anything when they are stoned - they get lazy. For me this is the opposite. I get more done when I have weed. I have been painting the inside of my house - without weed - I probably would have accomplished nothing.

I doubt that weed will hinder your gains. Just keep working hard and your body will respond.
