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 . 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 [)]) 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..

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.
