    But I did not shoot the deputy.

    So quick survey on what you guys think about smoking the greenage and fitness. Surely it must be better for your weight than drinking but hell on lungs.

    What's your opinion?
    Doesn't it make you hungry and lazy?

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

    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.

    It's addictive to people with addictive tendencies. Just like alcohol is addictive to people with alcoholic tendencies. And yet that's still legal.

    I very very very rarely smoke, but when I did I couldn't sit still (which is basically the opposite of a lot of other people). Last time I was camping and had to go play on a playground until the crazy wore off. Then I ate smores. So...

    I'd say it probably won't help most people with their weight loss and fitness goals. Any smoke in the lungs is unhealthy.

    I think only in moderation. When me and hubby had a nightly routine we gained liked 10lbs and were sooo groggy. I say once a month.

    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.)

    not that this is relevant to the original post, but i think addiction is a mental issue, and lots of people are mentally weak. i have absolutely no problem doing what i want when i want and then not doing it again for days, weeks, months, years. but i know not everyone is like that. what i'm trying to say is the substances aren't addictive...the people are.

    and those people that are addicted, well its really just a habit, there is no withdrawl when you stop weed. its not like being an alcoholic or a drug addict.

    trust me, i've stopped smoking a few times. there was no dt's no withdrawl, i just stopped, i had to break the habit, but that was it.

    I skip rather than walk when high. And laughing until you cry is quite an ab workout. Do they count as extra calories burned? Although I can only partake in cake form. Smoking makes me vom. Possibly not the best healthy lifestyle tip ever...

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I can say from personal experience that I have never struggled with munchies while high. Usually I get very silly and laugh a lot. Which can be a work out in of itself. Back in the day some of us would work out for an hour and then go smoke afterwards.

    To each their own.

    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.

    Yes in moderation. I never smoke before a work out. Did that once and busted my *kitten* on the treadmill. Occasionally I will burn one right before bed time. Then you really don't have to deal with the munchies. Certainly a better choice than a few beers!

    If I'm reading this correctly, 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.

    Edit: Ironically, to correct the wrong word "correction" and replace it with "correctly".

    Depends on whether it is sativa or indica. Pot gives me anxiety an panic attacks, so I do not partake. You can eat it in food. If you understand infused butter/fat, it is easy to do. You can also get a vaporizor.

    Weed > Alcohol for fitness. No calories!

    Learn to love some healthy munchies and you're fine.

    Smoking cigarettes can reduce appetite, however it also makes it hard for you to do cardio activities.
    Smoking the ol' natural pot is bad, personally, because I pig out for the munchies.

    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.)
