I shot the sheriff (smoking pot/fitness, can you do it?)

jofjltncb6

i smoke weed every day of my life. and as of today, i have lost 40 lbs in less than 3 months.

But it certainly isn't addictive, right? I mean, nothing addictive about it at all...at least that's what I've heard others say about it.

That, and "dude, I think, like, yeah, it should totally be legalized and stuff, because, like, you know, totally for the medicinal properties and stuff, man." (A paraphrase, but disturbingly close to the actual quote, of one of many phone calls I heard on the radio where they were discussing legalization.)

Well that's unnecessary. The question was about how well fitness and pot smoking work together, not your personal opinions on whether pot is addictive or your judgmental BS. Let's cut out the "pot smokers are losers" comments, please? Be civil, yes?

I don't smoke green because I generally become a spaced out blob when I'm smoking. I can't do anything. And boy did I try (wake and baking my 8 am class was one of my worst decisions ever). Fitness and smoking wouldn't work out for me. But that's not to say that it doesn't work for other people.

The lovely thing about drugs is that they have completely different effects for different people. Pot especially. Some get munchies, some don't. Some are anti-social weirdos (me) on pot and some are quite outgoing. It all depends. A person's ability to eat well and be fit also fall under this "depends on the person" umbrella.

My apologies that my post didn't meet your requirements for an acceptable and meaningful contribution to this discussion...and that you determined that it was...judgmental.

Really...let's all think that one all the way through.

, not to mention that people who do smoke it themselves will tell you this is the outcome of the experience?

smoked regularly for....13 years. not lazy nor do i get the munchies. guess it affects people in different ways.

You're a single mother smoking pot every day?

Nice. Real nice. And I'm not saying that to be judgy. I know of what I speak. You need to cut it out.

Yes you are being 'judgy'. Who are you to tell her how to run her life? What's being a single mum got to do with anything?

Go and sort yourself out, good luck.

Did you grow up the child of someone who smoked pot daily?

VelociMama

I never got the munchies from smokin' the reefer. I did, however, feel incredibly stupid and foggy, which was kinda annoying.

Inhaling any smoke will cause damage to your lungs if you overdo it, but I don't see how it could be a major issue for fitness unless you're a habitual user.

This post reminds me of this:

Starts around 3:00 in for the drug testing thing....

P.S. The stereotype of pot-smokers being "losers" was true for some of my college friends, but I also know plenty my age now (late-20's/early-30's) who smoke habitually that are upstanding smart good people. Stereotypes, generally, are a bad idea.

i love posts like this. it gives me a great idea of who i want to ignore.

Every acquainted person I know smokes weed has a major streak of loser.
It could be isolated in this community.
I suppose it can make a guy feel good and all, but again, all I ever had to do was look at a dope smoker, and that's all it took.
Count me OUT!

not every "dope" smoker is a loser. i know a lot of people who are upstanding citzens, hold down jobs, give back to society. they just like to relax at the end of the day. its better than drinking a few beers. weed doesnt do a lot of harm, and it does a lot of good. of the people i know, in my community, most use it for medicinal reasons. i use for medicinal reason, and i use to relax and have a good time. i'm not a loser.

It's very boring and annoyiing to keep hearing people that smoke weed are losers, what a load of BS.

WHEW!
What a relief this is.
Toke up...and ENJOY!

If I'm reading this correction, I think what she's saying is, she doesn't like you expressing your actual life experiences, so you shouldn't.

Fairly common point of view on these forums, actually.

"She" isn't saying that at all, otherwise I would have written that!

Try again.

Try again? Nah. I think everyone (or perhaps, everyone else) understands my point.

You "know of what you speak" but you also just said

Doesn't it make you hungry and lazy?

I don't know first-hand, but that's the rumor.

Sure sounds like you know of what you speak...with no first hand knowledge of the drug and lots of unnecessary stereotypes. Jeez, lady. You're a real piece of work.

I mean I never smoked it myself.

I'm not going to post things on here that shouldn't be aired so publicly, but I'll just say do whatever the hell you want until you have a child who depends on you. Smoking pot every day as a single mother is a terrible, horrible thing. Her child will be the one who pays for it in the end.

As for the hungry and lazy thing, do you also take offense to Cheech and Chong movies? That '70s Show? Pretty much every pop culture reference, not to mention that people who do smoke it themselves will tell you this is the outcome of the experience?

(And I'm glad you were not a role model to my teenage daughter.)

You have zero experience of weed but you feel you have the right to be so horrible to this girl??!

I smoke weed, I have done for 24 years....I run my own business, we own our home and we have wonderful, intelligent children. What you got to say to me now?

I ran the Chicago marathon in under 3:45 and I smoke EVERY day I trained. I used a bong so it was clean smoke. Munchies, laziness = cop out/lame stereotype

did you? i think we clarified that smoking weed and being a loser do not necessarily go hand in hand.

Well what about the rapid heartbeat after smoking pot? Won't that affect the ability of the heart to raise the number of beats to the level desired during the workout?

Do you know this woman? Do you know when or where she decides to smoke? Or how high she gets or even what kind of levels there are to smoking (you who has no knowledge of the drug)? Do you have complete moral authority and complete knowledge of motherhood because you may have popped a kid out of your own vagina? No? Then stop making unnecessary and rude judgement calls.

And we call that HUMOR. Those are comedy shows making humorous depictions of pot smoking. It's a joke...get it? Are you really so gullible that you take everything you see on tv as reality?

i did, and all their friends smoked, it was never a problem. they took good care of us kids, and we learned early what it was all about. all the kids i grew up with smoke weed in some fasion, we're all upstanding citizens. we have a good time and know how to chill out. the good weed does far out weighs the bad. in my opinion.

LadyZephyr

I used to be a heavy smoker but if I smoke, I get munchies like crazy. I've cut down but I've not cut it out of my life, I smoke perhaps once a week or so, and the majority of my friends and my boyfriend all smoke. 4:20 baby.

Oh wow. I didn't see that edit. Real nice for someone old enough to have a teenage daughter. You don't know me or what I do and you decided to pull something from my profile to make a dig at me. Thanks. Like I said, piece of work.

I do it daily & it has no negative effect on my fitness. I don't even get the munchies! Everyone's different I make sure I work out before smoking no matter what though unless I plan on not exercising that day.

The experience is what you make it. If you choose to sit & eat everything in sight then that's all you & self control! If you do something like smoke, then get up & do something productive like clean / go outside / etc then you're definitely making the best of the high. BTW if you eat the high goes away faster anyway so ..

AussieTrainer

Personally I don't think it affects anything unless you aren't responsible with it, same as anything else

Aww cute, you took my survey idea to make a funny post...if you smoked weed you too could have an imagination.
