Re: Marijuana Question

I smoke a lil bowl before every workout. Always have. When I started, the old timers all did, so I followed along. At the time, I thought it was the weed that made them so strong :D. I wasn't really aware of gear yet. I do some rec road cycling, and I'll smoke a little before I head out for some fairly long rides. Gets me going and focused. I smoke a lil at night before bed sometimes too. I'm by all American standards, pretty successful. I have some real addicts in my family so I know what you guys are talking about. My cousin, who was like my brother, OD'd on xmas a few years ago at age 27. My brother-in-law smokes more blunts then you'd think was humanly possible - like 10 a day. He's a fat waste of space. I never thought you could really be addicted to pot (remember the movie half baked [:eek:)]) He's changed my opinion on that. Anything in moderation is fine. I hardly drink alchohol now, but in my past I've done enough blow and pills to kill a herd of cattle. Not proud of it, but when I came to the crossroads, I just quit cold turkey. Wasn't a big deal really, I just knew I had to stop. This was probably like 12 years ago. That is the difference between a user and an addict - addicts can't stop. One's to much and a hundred ain't enough. In my opinion, pot is a hell of a lot less dangerous then booze. Booze leads some to some really bad decisions.

Smokin pot before a bike ride?
Holy shit.. my lungs couldn't take it.. I mean they could but fuck the difference between smokin one b4 jumpin on bike and not is WOW.. my lungs and drive goes down..
I have noticed that smokin a lil pot before workout (weights) sometimes helps me to better isolate muscle and makes it a lil harder on them which is good (get swole quicker)
But I find cardiovascular is just destroyed upon smokin it.
Want extra drive? Tell yourself that you get to smoke a joint/bowl once you finish. This will be you on the bike..

a toke or two wont hurt. hope you have good weed.
I used to smoke before I would do cardio. 10-15 mile runs. oh, and during. a bit after as well. cant say it hurt, probably didn't "help" though.
some synthetic cannabinoids as well. it felt as if I was running one foot above the ground.
"be the run" I would say. forget everything else. be the run.
ive smoked before lifting too. I tend to pose and flex a lot.
 
FDA Gives Insys Pharmaceutical Cannabidiol Orphan Status
http://www.dddmag.com/news/2014/08/fda-gives-insys-pharmaceutical-cannabidiol-orphan-status

Insys Therapeutics Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company that is developing and commercializing innovative drugs and novel drug delivery systems, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation (ODD) to its pharmaceutical cannabidiol (CBD) for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and most aggressive malignant primary brain tumor in humans.
 
doesnt really bother me all that much ...that is smoking before training...actually helps me focus when in beast mode lol.

Smith PH, Homish GG, Collins RL, Giovino GA, White HR, Leonard KE. Couples' Marijuana Use Is Inversely Related to Their Intimate Partner Violence Over the First 9 Years of Marriage. Psychol Addict Behav. http://psycnet.apa.org/index.cfm?fa=buy.optionToBuy&id=2014-33484-001

Research on the association between marijuana use and intimate partner violence (IPV) has generated inconsistent findings, and has been primarily based on cross-sectional data. We examined whether husbands' and wives' marijuana use predicted both husbands' and wives' IPV perpetration over the first 9 years of marriage (Wave 1, n = 634 couples). We also examined moderation by antisocial behavior, the spouse's marijuana use, and whether IPV was reported during the year before marriage. These predictive associations were calculated using a time-lagged multivariate generalized multilevel model, simultaneously estimating predictors of husband and wife IPV. In fully adjusted models, we found that more frequent marijuana use by husbands and wives predicted less frequent IPV perpetration by husbands. Husbands' marijuana use also predicted less frequent IPV perpetration by wives. Moderation analyses demonstrated that couples in which both spouses used marijuana frequently reported the least frequent IPV perpetration. There was a significant positive association between wives' marijuana use and wives' IPV perpetration, but only among wives who had already reported IPV perpetration during the year before marriage. These findings suggest there may be an overall inverse association between marijuana use and IPV perpetration in newly married couples, although use may be associated with greater risk of perpetration among women with a history of IPV perpetration.
 
Everybody reacts different. I have been smoking everyday for 24 years it does not effect my cardio at all, yet it does effect your motivation. Especially when your on a oral methyl cycle, without test or test base!
Indicas will induce extreme lethargy if you over do it. Stick with hybrids it's the best of both worlds!
 
It could be anxiety. Weed makes a lot of people anxious. And anxiety can cause shortness of breath. Just speaking from my own experience here :)
 
Highlights
· Frequent cannabis users regulate their use to leisure time.
· With normalised supply through coffee shops, frequent users might still feel stigmatised.
· Frequent users often shift from DSM-IV dependence to non-dependence, and vice versa.
· Frequent cannabis use and cannabis dependence are no homogeneous phenomena.
· DSM-IV cannabis dependence does not equate to problematic use.

Liebregts N, van der Pol P, van Laar M, de Graaf R, van den Brink W, Korf DJ. The role of leisure and delinquency in frequent cannabis use and dependence trajectories among young adults. Int J Drug Policy. http://www.ijdp.org/article/S0955-3959(14)00207-2/abstract

BACKGROUND: The link between leisure and cannabis use has been widely studied, but less so for young adults, and rarely with a focus on frequent cannabis use. Also, little is known about how changes in leisure develop over time and how they are related to transitions in cannabis use and dependence.

METHOD: As part of a 3-year longitudinal project, in a qualitative study 47 frequent male and female young adult cannabis users with (n=23) and without (n=24) dependence at baseline were interviewed in-depth after 1.5 and 3 years.

RESULTS: Frequent cannabis users (at baseline >/=3 days per week in the past 12 months) are involved in similar leisure activities as the general young adult population and live rather conventional lives, generally away from a delinquent subculture. They mostly regulate their cannabis use to leisure time, to enhance other leisure activities, including socialising and video gaming. While they often give precedence to responsibilities (e.g. work and study), dependent and non-dependent users differed in whether they actively adapted their leisure activities to their cannabis use, or their cannabis use to their leisure time. Both types of and time spent on leisure activities were associated with transitions in use and dependence.

CONCLUSIONS: While our findings generally support the normalisation thesis, it is questionable whether frequent but non-problematic cannabis use is socially accepted in wider society. This study also questions the diagnostic dependence vs. non-dependence dichotomy, and adds finer distinctions to the concept of cannabis dependence. Implications for prevention and treatment include facilitating structured spending of leisure time (e.g. sports), and targeting frequent users who spent much leisure time video gaming at home.
 
I have smoked weed at least 5 days out of the week for probably the last 10 years. give or take a week break here or there. I do mma and have insane cardio. although i do mostly use a vape for this reason. i noticed a slight cough and a change in my singing voice before i switched to vaporizer.


nothing is better than being blazed as shit connected to your body in a flow state lifting heavy weight.. in fact im toking right now about to go to the gym as we speak!
 
Just recently did a thread on this, it will make it harder to breath when doing intense workouts but it's an extreme vasodilator. Everytime I smoke a bit the veins are popping and if I do it preworkout it's the sickest pumps on earth.
 
Greene MC, Kelly JF. The Prevalence of Cannabis Withdrawal and Its Influence on Adolescents' Treatment Response and Outcomes: A 12-Month Prospective Investigation. Journal of Addiction Medicine;Publish Ahead of Print. http://journals.lww.com/journaladdi...nce_of_Cannabis_Withdrawal_and_Its.99744.aspx

Background: Withdrawal, a diagnostic indicator of cannabis use disorder, is often minimized or ignored as a consequence of cannabis use, particularly among adolescents. This study aims to characterize cannabis withdrawal among adolescents in outpatient treatment for substance use disorder and evaluate the clinical significance of withdrawal as a predictor of substance-related outcomes.

Methods: Adolescent outpatients (N = 127) reporting cannabis as their drug of choice (n = 90) were stratified by the presence of withdrawal and compared on demographic and clinical variables at treatment intake. Hierarchical linear models compared the effect of withdrawal on percentage days abstinent (PDA) and related outcomes over a 1-year follow-up period.

Results: Adolescents reporting withdrawal (40%) were more likely to meet criteria for cannabis dependence, have higher levels of substance use severity, report more substance-related consequences, and have a mood disorder. Withdrawal was not associated with PDA over the follow-up period; however, this relationship was moderated by problem recognition such that adolescents reporting withdrawal and a drug problem improved at a greater rate with respect to PDA than those who did not recognize a problem with drugs and did not report withdrawal.

Discussion: Withdrawal is common among adolescent outpatients and is associated with a more clinically severe profile. In this sample, all adolescents reporting withdrawal met criteria for cannabis dependence, suggesting that withdrawal is a highly specific indicator of cannabis use disorder. Although withdrawal does not seem to be independently associated with substance use outcomes posttreatment, moderating factors such as drug problem recognition should be taken into account when formulating treatment and continuing care plans.
 
Yea, nothing worse than a stoner without his weed... Like the worst PMS'n Bitchyness episode you've ever seen.... LOL.. Do you mean to say that they actually have a treatment program for this...? I was thinking a Midol.... LOL - Fukin Potheads.. LOL. Don't get me wrong I like and all.. Its just/ there MUST be some genetic coding in some that once a career smoker in wait finds his niche, forever after it is.... Just never understood it.... I DO NOT involve in things in which I KNOW I CANT NOT BE SURE TO GET for as long as I prefer.. Else I would have probably been a career stoner.. It is not logical.. Personally, I find the stress alone from the wondering to be ridiculously painful. But its almost like stoners create their own DRAMA NETWORK more so than supply network. Between the shoulder to smoke on, and all the PINCHING & Backstabbing that goes on, its got to be a soap opera in those houses every day... Hey man... Come on over an smoke one... LOL

Another thing. All this high priced weed out there today with all the dumbass names. Near as I can tell, that same good weed was always available, and just harder to come by THEN. The only difference NOW is that the PRICE is thru the fucking roof... Still, I have witness some of my old buddies that smoke and still just toking steady - SO WHATS THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE ALREADY... Damn...! How is this weed today supposed to be so damn good, if ya can still just sit there and have to smoke every 30 mins..?!?! Got to be like coffee/caffeine receptors or something....
