does eney one on here smoke weed and if so do you think it holds your training back in eney way ?? and have you ever trained stoned ?

i smoke a minimum of about 2 grams a day...sometimes less, sometimes a LOT more. as long as you only munch out on good calories...then it can't really hurt. It's the only way I can get enough food in me each day ;-). I never train stoned though...i just wouldnt have a drive.

smoing weed in any shape or form is BAD for your health. The effects seem to be either prolonged or delayed. But there will be effects, regardless of who you are. The effects can include cancer.

keep believing what your government tells you naturesanimal...lol america is ridiculous. Have you seen ANY non-government marijuana research studies? no...go check some out.

i wont toke in the week only on the week end i have trained stoned loads of times some times i can lift heavyer after a toke

hey man...to each his own. I just can't get a drive to workout when I'm stoned, or believe me, I'd be high ALL day. If it works for you, and you like it...more power to ya

um... marijuana produces estrogen

(to NaturesAnimal88): Marajuana is 100% natural unlike soda, candy, and everything else most Americans eat truck loads of every year. I would be worried about the hundreds of negative effects of eating these unnatural things (obesity,heartdisease,etc.) then the possible negative effects of someone who smokes a bowl every once in a while. "There will be effects."? Who are you?

Anyway, I wouldn't think that your recreational activities should interfere with your lifting as long as you keep it within reason.

Inhalation of any kind of smoke can cause lung cancer, make no mistake about it.

Sure bet it can cause lung cancer, but the majority of people dont smoke marijuana nearly as much as those who smoke cigarettes on a pack a day basis.  Not to mention that a lot of people who smoke marijuana daily smoke it from such aparatises as bongs, vaporizers, or other things that reduce a lot of the carcinagens.

The census on people who have died directly because of marijuana is still 0...

That is a lot less than alcohol, steroids, obesity due to terrible food...

The question was does it hold you back on your training. Not does it hold back your training in comparison to obesity, cigarettes, alcohol, etc.

To the original poster, as long as you can control your munchies it's fine. Don't workout high, when you need coordination and concentration coupled with 100's of pounds, its dangerous and you'll just feel lazy and uninspired anyways.

There have not been any known cancer deaths from weed.  The us GVT still sends it to the last remaining members of the group they were sending medical marijuana too, but soon after the law was passed to make it illegal, pushed by a rope company hoping to vie for its sole rights.......they stopped the program and only the last few alive are still on this program- the program alone would not have been implemented if the US govt had fears of it harboring negative effects.  It has shown to help many sick people and help control diseases such as MS, parkinsons and helping cancer treatment - now my point is not to say you should train stoned......actually you want to focus and be straight, but it has been studied showing to help recovery especially in those who have a hard time winding down such as those with mild ADD etc.
There are a ton of clinical links, no biased, which have some great FACTS on this.

if i go drinkin the next 3 days i cant train so i dont drink atall if i toke i can train when eva i want to some times when am mashed i get the feelin its time to train and get in the zone i only train mashed once a week beer ****s me up more then weed ever will !!!! ban drinkin insted

haha, is THC a supplement?

smoking is so interesting... I hold it back to about once a month or once every two months, used to do it a lot more frequently. Some of my [closer] friends do it almost every day, so it's tough when they offer to smoke you up for free.

phersan... i'm in the situation too. I did it alot back summer but now I'll do it maybe one every 2 months or something, it is hard to say nah when its free. you know! lol
