Hi.

I'm curious if anyone finds benefits of using marijuana to work out. I find it makes me more focused during my workouts.

Thanks!

    I find it lowers my blood pressure too much to actually workout after smoking, but I do enjoy a certain yoga class much more when I smoke a half hour prior. I agree that it helps with focus.

    Weed and working out don't mix well at all IMO. It makes you not want to workout. Working out will blow your high. If you do work out, your performance will be negatively affected. It's a chill drug. All you're going to want to do is eat, watch tv or listen to music with someone, not work out.

    Great for going on a hike or something...not so much a temp ride.

    Idc what kind of weed it is, though I comprehend the difference, a workout will blow your high, unless you call some leisurely movement a workout.

    I find it's terrible for any kind of walking for me. It has this weird effect on time. I feel like I'm walking, and walking and walking and walking and then I'm at the end of my block. It's like walking a rubber band :smile:

    After that workout then there's the whole munchies thing. It may be counter productive.

    Dear Posters,

    I wanted to provide a brief explanation for locking this topic. I realize that this is becoming increasingly frustrating for some members as in the United States recreational marijuna is legal in 8 states and medical marijuna is legal in at least a dozen others. However, it remains an illegal substance in the majority of states and at the federal level. For this reason our guideline below applies.

    8. Posts Must Abide By All Legal Statutes

    a) Do not post messages that violate federal, state/provincial, or local laws which include, but are not limited to, anything that violates a copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or is bound by NDA (non-disclosure agreement).
    b) Posts which promote or encourage illegal activities, including, but not limited to, use of illegal substances, violence against others, and procurement of prescription drugs without a prescription, are prohibited.
    c) Images containing hateful or violent imagery, depiction of illegal activities, or copyrighted material are not allowed and will be removed.
