Well, aside from the obvious potential lung injuries, I don't know of any effects on gains or on strength training. But common sense says that if your lungs aren't 100%, you can't train as hard.

I smoke just about daily. most days only at night., I do train high once in a while and always have a great workout. I get extremely focused. Not stupid stoned either. A toke or 2 of some good nuggs and I'm ready to go.

Marijuana was one of the drugs that got caught up in the whole post-prohibition rush to make shit illegal. A large part of the push to make it illegal was the fact that Mexican immigrants were smoking and planting it. This is similar to the way opium was made illegal b/c so many Chinese railroad workers were using it. It is kept illegal today by powerful lobbyists in the tobacco & alcohol industries and people who get funding for "the war on drugs". The war on drugs is a miserable failure, but when $40 billion is flying into law enforcements hands, they dont want to miss out on $15 billion because weed became legal.

9 states have medical marijuana. Go to this site and see if yours does. If it does, go to your doc and tell him that you want a recommendation (you dont get a prescription for weed) for some smoke for your "chronic pain" or "nausea". Then its legal at the local & state level for you to have the mary jane.

(this site has the laws for all 50 states & some US territories)

As I've stated on many other threads:
- Weed doesnt effect test or estrogen levels
- You cant OD on weed
- There is no long term damage to the brain
- It decreases stress
- Helps eyesight
- It can help those with AIDS, Glaucoma, MS, Pain, Nausea, Wasting disease, and many many other ailments
- Other than minor lung damage (like anything smoked), it has no drawbacks
- It does not effect driving like alcohol

Download "Growing Medical Marijuana" by Todd McCormick on Kazaa, it's loaded with some facts & has the transcript from an episode where Dr. Drew & Natalie Maines argued against Todd McCormick & Woody Harrelson on some show. Todd McCormick had cancer 9 times by the time he was 10, and weed helped his ass. Its a good read. You'll need Acrobat Reader to read it.

used to smoke ED for a while and it definitely fucked with my BP. Thats the only negative side effect i got from it, so cant smoke anymore. However I dont think this is typical. Also weed decreases the risk of several cancers

Are you saying you'd be high while lifting? Marijuana is actually a bronchodilator so it would open up the small passages in your lungs making it easier to breathe. It's actually used medically for asthma sometimes haha
