THC Question

[johnnyboy3689282]

So i know that smoking nicotene will decrease blood flow throughout the body in turn making the muscle less depleted and the fda estimates about 25% less muscle. But Does smoking pot do the same thing???
Im not gonna say if i condone on smoking pot or not, but as long as your not using tobacco paper for rolling the marijuana, are there any good effects other than that T3 effect as i like to call it... Just wondering if anyone know where i can find a log about body building and marijuana use????
Arnold and big lou were known for smoking marijuana and openly said no calories draws me more than anything and the long term effects are not known on marijuana, because most people mix tobacco use with it....
Guess what im trying to say is should i quit smoking pot because if its causing muscle loss, then its a habit easily forgotten... thnx guys...

Thanks
Johnny

If your worried about the harmful effects of smoking it just make protein weed brownies and eat em. Then you get the benefits without the danger. Personally I
Wouldn't use it because it makes you lazy. But you might be different than me.

Arnold would use then workout to help with muscle fatigue. I use to smoke and it kept me focused while training and hungry. Other than that I didn't see a negative affect on my muscles. Maybe my lungs but that's it.

I love doing it before a workout.. I find I can get a really good pump and can really focus in on what I'm hitting

I used to smoke weed regularly before I landed my new career. Its helped with appetite a lot. Also if your worried about the smoke being harmful just get a vaporizer.

I used to smoke everyday about 2 years ago and have since then stopped. Only info I have read is that it possibly increases estrogen levels and of course makes one lazy. Can't be positive on those effects other than being lazy cuz since I stopped I have been much more active and happy than ever before. I have nothing against it, but it just doesn't appeal to me nor do have the need anymore like my alcohol abstinenece of almost 5 years now.

I know it kills motivation for some and can make one rather lazy as you mentioned. I dont condone its use nor am I against it. Similar to my feelings on alcohol. I'm glad to hear you kicked your addictions and are happy.,,,thats super!!!

As a researcher (PhD) and occasional partaker (legally of course) I can tell you the research shows only long term effect is apathy.

From 1st hand experience it all depends on the strain and your personal brain chemistry, hence some get paranoia, munchies, lethargic, energetic etc.

Bottom line, it varies for everyone. The main controversy revolves around the delivery (i.e. carcinogens inhaled). However, even then the carcinogens inhaled is less than a 10th of that of an entire carton of cigarettes.

My advice do your own DD. There are literally 10's of thousands of legitimate (empirical) articles published. As opposed to pre 1990 when less than 300 articles were published!!
