Marijuana and exercise

[snakegirl]

HECK NO!!!!!!!!!!

I have worked as a pharmacy tech for the last 5 years now...
The consequences patients (of all ages!!) are suffering from NOW is enough to prevent me from ever wanting to smoke ANYTHING, EVER.

I've dispensed meds/treatment for everything from lung cancer, tumors, throat cancer, emphysema, and ED (Erectile Dysfunction) - which I have seen in pt's as young as late 20's and early 30's on Viagra, Levitra and Cialis, etc!!!!!

Yes, but do you respect them? Arnold, Franco, strongmen like Phil Phister, etc.

So what you really want is for me to remove left foot from mouth and insert right foot?

Of course to some degree I respect them because they still worked their asses off in the gym. So I respect their dedication and tenacity. Moreover, Arnold and Franco paved some pretty decent roads for strongmen and bodybuilders in their day. The fact is, they are both legends. But I don't respect them as people because in my mind they cheated by juicing. I do like the old Arnold movies, though ...

That being said, I have zero respect for Phil Pfister. He's a whiney @sshole. He's always whining about something. I really can't stand him. He also goes on about being so clean and not ever doing anabolics, but his personality is enough to make me want to off him :violent2:

I wasn't aware of that. I assumed he was juicing just because of the level of competition he does. I usually watch the highlights on youtube and thus skip all the interviews.

Yes, I'm trying to get you on hypocrisy

He probably is juicing. But that's not why I don't like him

Yes, I'm trying to get you on hypocrisy

Well, Lei, you're really smart and you're athletic. That combination alone will turn me into soft putty. Then and only then will you be able to override what little remaining logical parts there are in my brain and you will be able to set me up and catch me in a horrible, despicable act of hypocrisy ...

Must ... be ... strong ... and ... resist ...

Reminds me of a really bad Star Trek episode ... :biggrinsanta:

We have one life; we have one body.

Each of our recreational activities have a price tag; our health is priceless.

The status of our on-going health is the most important above and beyond any exterior physical thing we acquire in our life or the temporary good feeling one wants from an exterior substance.

Exterior physical things can be replaced; but, there is only one of each of us.

When all the smoke clears about our differences in opinion on what "looks good" in the physical (or what is a healthy habit), what matters in the end, is our inner well-being and health. Our greatest wealth is our personal health.

Some of us can be blind to this truth, "until its taken from you like a thief in the night".

And, what this thief leaves behind, is a paling gloss of what was once thought to be important and revealing the inner pigment of what "really" is.

The "unnamed thief" reveals and exposes reality. We sometimes will not know when, where, how, and sometimes why, this "unnamed thief" enters. This "unnamed thief" enters seemingly immorally, without warning, and in some cases without explanation of its cause, but it will awake within you.

Our goals within diet fitness "do have a price tag", but our health is priceless.

Yes, we all have diet and fitness goals, and they have a price tag: I am not willing to pay the expense of looking good (or "knowingly" put something in my mouth) and put my health in past tense. I will increase the odds that I will be healthy, knowing I can not completely eliminate them.

Our bodies carry us within this one-chance-at-life journey; the beliefs we carry about certain issues within our life ought to be examined thoroughly, as once we reach the death bed one will learn whether they were right or wrong.

Stubbornness on convictions can be death to one and not know it, until......its too late.

I don't have to "experience" some things to have common sense in knowing whether "some things" are bad or good for my health.

The greatest high, is getting high on life.

Reduce the odds, that the light will go out.

Best wishes,

Chillen

So basically, drugs it is!

Woooooooooooo!!!!!!!

 

[theGOOCH]

I'm gonna melt a rock before my next deadlift session and see how that works out

 

[limestix]

I like to burn one before HIIT. Helps me breathe better


(the level of sarcasm in this post is unfortunately very low)

 

[LeiYunFat]

I smoke pcp before I max.

 

[alternativekid]

i smoke rock, hit a puff shoot some herion, and pop some E all before i max out. ;D

 

[Guitarded]

Being slightly stoned right now, I feel it's a good time to post in this thread. :xmas:

Some people seem to think I light up right before a workout - no way. I'd never get anything done if I did that.

i_love_muscle: I respect your opinion... but give it a rest. Marijuana isn't the most healthy thing in the world, but it's quite obviously not nearly so bad as you make it out to be. I feel great, I in the best shape of my life and I have a 3.9 cumulative GPA. I've also get stoned every day.

THC is a neurotoxin. Didn't you know that?

Hey

from


High concentrations of cannabinoid receptors exist in the hippocampus, cerebellum and basal ganglia. The hippocampus is located within the temporal lobe and is important for short-term memory. When the THC binds with the cannabinoid receptors inside the hippocampus, it interferes with the recollection of recent events. THC also affects coordination, which is controlled by the cerebellum. The basal ganglia controls unconscious muscle movements, which is another reason why motor coordination is impaired when under the influence of marijuana.
----------------------------------------

The brain has an inbuilt receptor, THC is a cannabinoid, so your statement is not true.

 

[i_love_muscle]

Backspace, you are incorrect that my statement is incorrect.

 

[Kraken]

I did some crystal before my workout last night. What normally takes an hour took 10 mins. Only problem is my teeth are turning black.

 

[evolution]

I injected some creatine this morning.

 

[Chillen]

I am stoned all the time.

I inject myself with the love of life, my wife and kids, education within diet and fitness.

They are my marijuana.

Side effects?

Intense Rock-on-idis.

Health effects?

One gets pretty damn whacky!



Best regards,

Chillen

I don't smoke. Never will either...as I have light asthma...and somewhat get a bad reaction in my throat when ever I inhale cigarette smoke.

People who think that inflating the lungs with ****ing smoke is healthy need to get slapped silly...honestly how can you say it's healthy and that it has no ill effects >> COME ON! XD

Sure it is fun, but don't try and justify it by saying it's healthy or that it doesn't affect you negatively...it does, period. Smoke if you want, but accept the facts as they are.

If it's a habit then it's an addiction and any form of addiction is bad.

It comes down to choice and proper knowledge of what you are consuming, if you are ready to pay the cost of ingesting or consuming said narcotic, then - what the hell > DO IT!

But stop trying to say it is healthy, for gods sakes.

I have friends who smoke, I respect them, but when they say pot is ok for their own health...I shrug in disappointment.

Now, forgive me...I have a pound of coke to sniff.

:cool2:

How old are you and why have you not read this thread?

Weed isn't a narcotic.
THC can be used to treat asthma
I'd much rather inhale pretty much any smoke over tobacco smoke. At least things like pot don't contain arsenic, acetone or toluene
Nobody is saying its good for you, but it has its benefits and the negatives are hardly bad compared to other 'legal' things we consume without a second thought.

And habits and addictions are 2 very different things. 95% of our life is pure habit, does that mean 95% of our life is an addiction and therefore bad? naaa
Being addicted to weed is like being addicted to food. It's just a case of poor willpower, laziness, gluttony and other such things.

About to burn one and go for a run, ta ta :cool2:

 

[i_love_muscle]

THC can be used to treat asthma

In what country is this legal? In what country is this actually considered to be a valid treatment?
