guys, smoking weed is really bad. just stop.
or if you can't do that, get a gun, stick it to your head, and pull the trigger (please don't do this this is just an expression) It will be much less painful in the long run. You don't know what you're doing to your body.

One can sure tell who the people who have never toked are, they are so alarmist. But I bet you they drink, which is far worse for you. To each is own I say, educate yourself and make a decision. I don't think a little weed, or a little drinking is all that bad, so long as it is in moderation.
Funny how people get bent out of shape over pot smoking, yet no one cares about drinking. Dare I ask why? I say you are brainwashed by anti-drug propoganda.
I am not pro-drug use by any means, just saying that there are far worse things that people ignore, but if some one says weed, they flip out.

yes, stop smoking weed, but the "blowin' ya brains out" is a bit much...

I wouldn't say drinking is FAR worse for a person. Remember, it is good to have a glass of red wine a day, but it is not good to have a joint a day. Your brains and lungs would be a mess... As you said before, moderation is the key.
A lot of people are bent outta shape over drinking as well. Look at all the AA stuff out there, and in fact, there are tons of religions out there that BAN alcohol. But the fact that weed is illegal is what makes weed a bigger target.
Interesting topic. I no longer smoke weed because I have quit smoking altogether (all part of the new, fitter me 
). The main effects that weed used to have on me were increased appetite and extreme lethargy. Neither of these effects would be conducive to me achieving my fitness goals and those goals are more important to me now.
Seriously, I cannot imagine getting stoned and then trying to count calories...it just wouldn't happen. Equally, having a good session and then trying to crowbar myself out of bed the following day for an early morning gym session?! No chance.
Everyone has to decide for themselves what their priorities are and, for some people, there may be room for weed in their lives alongside a fitness regime. It wouldn't work for me though. 15 years ago, weed was more important to me than fitness (because I was 18, thin and invincible.) Now that I'm not quite so thin or invincible, my priorities have changed a bit

Very interesting topic.
I have been smoking copious amounts of cannabis for over 10 years (not proud, but no regrets). I would defenitely say it makes you a lazy person, and defenitely makes you wanna eat s*** loads of nice (unhealthy) food.
The lazy bit should be no problem if you have the will power.
I also swim 2000m twice per week, and you can certainly tell you got tar in your lungs when doing that.
I'm quitting all the smoking lark in new year and am well looking forward to the extra oxygen.
I really don't think it effects your muscle growth much. My mate smokes spliffs in breaks on his workout and says it works better for him. He is slightly crazy though.
The bit about the young lad who can't walk properly sounds like a load of rubbish to me. He may of lost ability to walk as an indirect result of smoking pot. But only time I've ever seen this is after having 4 bongs straight after going to the pub and drinking 10 pints of lager.
Each to their own.
Lets just say its biologically better to not smoke it, and socially its up to you.

I smoked weed on a daily basis from age 15 to 20. Now I rarely smoke. Couple times a year, if that. I try to avoid it actually. But when you catch up with a old friend, that is when I smoke. As you get older you won't like it as much.
But if you are a daily smoker and all your friends are, I know how hard it is to stop. I even went to jail once since I couldn't stop. All my friends smoked, daily. So was pretty much impossible not to smoke. The tea worked for me many times, so thought I was safe. One time it didn't work and failed for probation and went to jail. I actually went to the drug test high. Pretty dumb huh? I did it before so was very confident in the tea. But if your friends smoke, you will never stop. You have to meet new friends. Best way is to find a girlfriend that doesnt smoke, and cut back by hanging out with her. That way you can hang out with her most of the time, and go smoke with your buddies once a week or something. You need to find something to replace the weed. Just sitting there while your friends smoke in front of you will never work. But good luck with that.
All you younger kids that are drug free and into exercise. That is good. You will end up much happier and have a better life when you get older.
So I have to agree that smoking very much is really bad. If you can contain yourself to occasional smoking, you will be ok.
