no do not do that, too much aromatization will be caused. Once every few weeks when you "NEED" a head change is fine, but every day? no, that is not good. Plus it lowers motivation, if you currently smoke regularly you will deny this I know, But i've been a pothead, and now that i haven't smoked for eight months i realize how truly lazy it does make you. quit now, then maybe you can cut down on some of these stupid posts too if you give quitting an honest shot, drink a warm glass of milk every night before bed if you can't sleep, it works, and when i quit i couldn't sleep because i used to always smoke a few bowls before bed. good luck ------------------ | ||

Damn LUVS, you just hurt my feelings. I have been trying to lay off of you a little and you go and say something like that. Thanks. To answer your question, smoking weed during a cycle is not the best thing to do but I do it. If helps me sleep, makes me hungry so I eat more, and helps me concentrate in the gym when I am high. Most people will probably flame you for this, but this is one thing I won't flame you for. I am a pothead from way back and I love the shit. Some people say it lowers your natural test levels, which it does, but if you are on a cycle you don't have any natural test in you anyway so who cares. Don't over do it but a little won't hurt, no matter what anyone else tells you. Then again with posts like yours I am guessing that you are smoking too much! Peace...Mav | ||

I am surprised you would ask such a thing, mav is right don't go nuts with it, you gotta do what makes you happy or what 's the point. I don't understand the whole attraction to weed, but I am in the minority so i guess there is a good reason. Puts me right to bed, and that is on less than 1/2 a joint. Now decawoman is another story, can you say chimney? ------------------ | ||

I've read that pot can cause gyno. You should probably stay away from it if you're on a heavy cycle. | ||

I agree with Maverik 100%. Pot is much better for your body than alcohol and most other drugs. If anything it increases your appetite, helps you sleep, and helps you focus in the gym. GHB may be better, but it has it's downsides as well. The bottom line is, some people like to get a buzz every now and then, for the bodybuilder alcohol is not an option, but pot and GHB do have some qualities that could actually enhance your cycle. | ||

Also weed affects everyone differently. If it affects you negatively, such as makes you lazy, then don't do it. For me, when I get high I want to work out. The reason being that when I am high I can sort of get into a zone and block everything out that is going on around me. And this actually helps me lift more weight than when I am not stoned. But some people say it makes them lazy. If it does this then definitely don't do it. If it interferes with the cycle then quit but if it helps keep doing it but only in moderation, like maybe 3 times a week. Oh, and definitely don't do any while on a cutting cycle. I am cutting now and have passed it up several times when my friends come over because I know I will eat everything in the friggin' house. Peace...Mav | ||

Ive talkes with two M.D's that have told me that both alcohol and marijuana consumption can cause gyno in those who are gyno prone. Correct me if Im wrong, but Macro posted a thread once concerning how both of the above mentioned contained "phytoestrogens" My advice... Just dont do either one on cycle. ------------------ | ||

I smoked everyday during my cycle and it didn't do anything to me physical wise. Yeah it might have kept a few pounds off me but no weird sides or anything if that's what you're worried about. I've been cutting down a bunch since I got diagnosed with Anxiety and was put on medication to help with it. I figure it can't help so I've gone from a daily smoker to once in a while. I don't notice much of a change yet but I'm gong to stick with it for a while and see what happens. I do love to smoke but my health is more important to me. Hope this helps, Green | ||

That is true WCP, but steroids will cause gyno alot worse than a little weed in those that are prone to it. If you are prone to gyno you will probably get it from gear and weed. But if you are on a cycle of say 750 mg of sust and haven't gotten gyno, I don't really think a little weed a few times a week would suddenly give you gyno. True I am no expert but I have picked up a little knowledge in my days on this earth and I just can't believe that if you are on a heavy cycle and aren't getting any signs of gyno that a little weed would suddenly send your estrogen levels soaring. I know many, many people who smoke lots of weed all the time whether they are on a cycle or not and they are all much bigger than my puny ass and none of them have gotten gyno. Now if you smoked a joint every 2 hours everyday, I can see how this might cause some problems but I just don't see how once every day or so is gonna give you gyno if the gear hasn't already done so. But like I said I am no expert on this topic. This is just my personal opinion from what I have witnessed first hand. I'll leave this topic alone now before I catch myself in some big debate and honestly I just hate heavy debating. Always pisses me off. Peace...Mav | ||

I see your point Mav, But I look at it this way..if your on 750mg of sust, and not showing signs of gyno, then does that mean that you can push the envelope a bit. Or lets say that you are on some heavy orals...does that mean that I can have some beer everynight and just put that little extra strain on my liver?? My point is simply do what you want to..but I would not chance it. Thats my take bro, ------------------ | ||

It definitely is not as fun when you are expecting to get flamed. My past roommate was a huge pothead, but he lifted 2-3 times per day 6 days per week. He was one of the biggest mofo's you'd ever want to meet. I guess his pot calm cancelled his rage (Thank God!) | ||
Elite Bodybuilder Posts: 972 |
I see you point as well, WCP. There is no need to push it. But let me ask you this. When it comes down to it why do we all use steroids and lift weights like we are addicted to it. Because we love doing it. If you enjoy doing something and you do it in moderation then I don't see a problem with it at all. I don't see anyone jumping in and saying that we are pushing it because we are doing roids because on this board that is a very accepted thing to do. All I am saying is this: We only get one chance on this earth so we should all enjoy it as much as we feel like we need to. Although it would suck to get gyno, I still don't believe that a little weed is gonna give you gyno if you have already done roids and have never gotten it. True that just because you have never gotten it that doesn't mean you won't. But I think with any drug there is a difference between drug use and drug abuse. If he was asking if he could smoke a joint 5 times a day every day while on a cycle, this would be considered drug abuse and I would definitely say "no way". It is always humorous to me to see so much dislike of marijuana on a board where talking about drugs is an every day thing. No flame intended to anyone with this post. If you don't smoke weed because you don't like it you will always be telling people not to do it. And you will probably be telling them this with 3cc's of sust in your ass. It is very funny to me how in society, weed is more accepted than steroids any day, yet on this board it is the other way around. Moderation is the key to any drub use. As long as you have some nolva on hand, feel free to smoke a little every now and then. If you see signs of gyno then quit smoking till the cycle is done and take your nolvadex. LUVS, you have some responses now. The choice is yours. Peace...Mav | ||

this may be the first time i have ever disagred with maverick, sorry bro, i don't smoke and for me there is no point in it, your own natural desire to grow should be all the inspiration anyone needs to train hard.and as far as a stress relief goes, again i say train hard, and this is your stress relief, and i can say that honestly considering i suffer from bad anxiety and high blood pressure, and with a big mortgage and car payments and insurance on two cars, believe me i have stress, and my time at the gym is my only tranquility. no drugs and no alcohol......just my 2 cents, and by the way luvs, i'm glad to see that you have matured some, i flame not to offend but to...ok it is to offend....peace bro!!!!!!! ------------------ | ||

Spend your money on more juice instead of weed. | ||

Legend, I am not saying to use it to help you work out. The two things are unrelated. I was not saying that I use it to work out because no one should use it for this. All I am saying is that when I am high I always seem to want to work out. And it also stimulates my appetite. I don't use it because I need it and I think the fact that I can quit for 6 months at a time with no problem shows this. You should never use any drug as a crutch to help you but if you like how it makes you feel then where is the harm in moderate use? Pot affects everyone differently. If you don't enjoy it like you said you don't, Legend, then why in God's green earth would you do it?? My point here is that if you do enjoy it and it doesn't prevent you from achieving your goals then what is the harm in occasional use. You all have read those studies that have all kinds of side effects listed to marijuana use and we have also seen all those side effects that are related to steroid use. Why is it that when we see reports saying that roids will kill you and are extremely dangerous that we immediately say the report is wrong and that it is the crooked government that is fucking up these studies just so we don't do roids. Yet if you don't like smoking pot and are against it, you will immediately believe everything that the gov't says it will do to you. I am sorry if you don't agree here but I think some of you are being very hypocritical with this issue. Alot of roid users get mad when they here people say that steroids will kill you. It is the same situation here. You don't agree with its use so you go around telling everyone it is bad. Just doesn't make any sense to me how people only believe what they want to believe and everything else is just a lie. Some of you sound like the gov't here. Sorry for the flames fellas, I am just tired of weed getting such a bad rap when everyone just accepts steroids as perfectly normal. There, I feel better now. Peace...Mav | ||

Just for an example, I am cutting right now so I am refraining from weed because I know it will interfere with my goals by making me eat everything in sight. If it interferes with your goals in any way then stop using it immediately. If it doesn't interfere with your goals then smoke away, just keep it moderate. That is the bottom line. Peace...Mav | ||

yo mav i wasn't judging you or anybody else for that matter. i was just speaking my mind bro. just like you just did. i do not judge, and i will not be judged. if you like it then good for you, i don't so good for me thats all. peace bro !!!! ------------------ | ||
Elite Bodybuilder Posts: 972 |
I know, Legend. I am not lashing out at anyone in particual here just alot of people's opinions on pot in general. No flame intended at you bro. Sorry if it sounded that way. That was not my intention. Man, I never lose my temper from AS but I tell ya'...stacking clen, t3, and Xenadrine makes you very edgy and I snap easily. To everyone who responded here, I am not a pot advocate and I would never recommend that anyone use any type of recreational drug, especially as a crutch. It is just that alot of people on this board seem to look at pot the way that most natural bodybuilders look at steroids and that just upsets me. I hate it when people judge others by what they do, whether it is AS or pot or whatever. I know so many big mofos who smoke ten times more than I do and are way more dedicated to lifting than I am not to mention much bigger than me. Just like with AS, I think the effects of pot on your body are greatly exaggerated. Sorry for the rage fellas. Just venting. Peace...Mav | ||

Why don't we all just get serious about our weightlifting and put the pot down. Get some good old fashioned herion. Heropure(TM) That's what I use and trust. Just shoot and go....ahhhhhhhhh! Heropure (TM) ...From the makers of Cocainopure (TM) (sorry, my smart ass mentality just couldn't resist) ------------------ | ||
Elite Bodybuilder Posts: 972 |
Hey curious, we both live in the same city. That was a nice attempt at humor BTW. LOL. I only use heroin before an orgy myself. It is real hard to lift with the shit because you can't feel anything. J/K! Peace...Mav | ||

Bros: This is all I could come up with on this. From the journal Biochemical Pharmacology. 53(1):35-41, 1997 Jan 10. ABSTRACT "Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary active compound in Cannabis sativa (marihuana), and other cannabinoid receptor agonists exert potent effects on luteinizing hormone and prolactin release in animal models and humans. Compounds possessing the tricyclic cannabinoid structure, including delta 9-THC and cannabidiol, have been reported to interact with rodent uterine estrogen receptors in ligand binding assays. The present study tested the hypothesis that cannabinoid compounds produce a direct activation of estrogen receptors. We investigated whether cannabinoid compounds exhibit estrogen-induced mitogenesis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. ... No response was observed with biologically relevant concentrations (< = 10 microM) of delta 9-THC or its tricyclic analog desacetyllevonantradol. No response was observed with cannabidiol, a bicyclic cannabinoid compound ... Delta 9-THC also failed to antagonize the response to estradiol under conditions in which the antiestrogen LY156758 (keoxifene; raloxifene) was effective. ... We also investigated the ability of cannabinoid compounds to stimulate transcription of an EREtkCAT reporter gene transiently transfected into MCF-7 cells. Neither delta 9-THC, desacetyllevonantradol, nor cannabidiol stimulated transcriptional activity. We conclude that psychoactive or inactive compounds of the cannabinoid structural class fail to behave as agonists in appropriate assays of estrogen receptor responses in vitro." Sorry for all that technical jazz. Doesn't sound like much to me. Bjaarki ------------------ BECOME SOMEONE'S HERO! | ||
