Many wonder if marijuana is harmful when combined with bodybuilding or athletics.
Marijuana contains 19 essential elements including boron, magnesium and zinc. Hemp seeds contain one of the most perfect ratios of poly and mono unsaturated fat contents as well. When anything is abused it becomes harmful, but when used in moderation and under the safest provisions available today marijuana can help you become a better person all around ,physically and mentally. I had the privledge of playing collegiate basketball for 4 years, every game I played I was high, I was also defensive player of the year for 3 straight years in my conference, also I carried a gpa of 3.8 all through my college, every test I took I was high, this is far from bragging because compared to many these are just minor accomplishments, my point in mentioning this is Marijuana puts one on a different plane or level where it raises your perception of what needs to be done whether it was the basketball game I was about to play or the test I was about to take. Almost all of the negative aspects of marijuana you hear about are lies and exploitations of the government, it is sad that the government has brainwashed so many into even associating Marijuana with the word "drug" as far as negative drugs are concerned. Marijuana has never been associated with 1 death, not 1, the govts. main arguement is that is causes cancer and kills brain cells, these studies were done on monkeys a half a century ago backed by no scientific evidence whatsoever, but once again the govt. exploited it and lied. Then there is the arguement that it is bad for your lungs, its not if used in moderation and proper smoking techniques are utilized, a perfect example is a bubbler or bong, people please if your going to enjoy what God has blessed you with, use a bong or bubbler-always smoke through water or invest in a vaporizer where only the THC is extracted. Another and my favorite way of utilizing Ganja is ingestion or eating it, I will challenge anyone with my recipes, they are fucking beautiful to say the least. Then there is the religious topic of it is against this and that, remember folks ,use your mind these are the governments laws, not God's laws. This will probably offend some but I guarantee that many biblical figures utilized marijuana in some form or fashion , also back then there were no laws or lies that are present today , so they wouldnt of had the false illusions that are thrown at us on a daily basis. I am sure many of you are familiar with Rastas or Rastafarianism, there main arguement on why the govt wont allow marijuana to be legalized is that they(govt.)know that marijuana helps people in all aspects(over 200 medicinal uses) and they dont want people to see the TRUTH. When the truth is found so is knowledge and wisdom, the govt, doesnt want that, they want to think for you. When you puff on herb the TRUTH is seen and felt physically and mentally. If used properly marijuana can help more than you can imagine. Legal and pharmaceutical drugs kill more people each year than illegal drugs, this is not even fathomable, doesnt make sense. So the formula is simple Marijuana=Truth, when you see it for yourself your eyes will be opened, when your eyes are opened you are able to see Knowledge and Wisdom which is the key to life in all aspects. Fuck compromise, conformity and assimilation, be you, life is too short. Also everybody, I am high as hell right now so I had to voice my opinion. Thanks for reading.

My attention span sucks so i didnt read all of that, but i got the just of it.

I agree that everything is fine in moderation. I for one couldnt moderate my intake of the beautiful herb. I love weed and always will. It is in my mind the way to world peace. I used it to break away from reality when reality sucked. That is what lead to my down fall. Even when life started kicking ass again i just couldnt stop. There was always a good reason to smoke. "O, its 4:20", "O the simpsons are coming on", "O, I dont have shit else to do", always something.

I will miss you sweet mary jane, until we met again you will be in my thoughts,dreams, and wishes.

My personal experience with smoking is that it makes you lazy, makes you eat shitty food in large quantities, and in no way shape or form is helpful in athletic events, with the possible exception of ultimate frisbee, but that is my experience, but when I blaze, I dont do it in moderation...I'd never do it before a football game and try not to do it within 2 months of the start of the season

Snapper 55, nothing makes you lazy except yourself, the same goes with eating large quantities of junk food, you are the one picking it up and shoving it in your mouth, blame yourself for the lack of self control you have not the herb.

Snapper first of all, got no reason to lie, then you said that weed makes you lazy and also made the statement that "weed makes you eat large quantities of junk food", weed has nothing to do with that, you do , its called self control, dont get offended then type that I am lying because your little feelings have been hurt. Also where did you come up with football, the only sport I have played in college is basketball(another mistake on your part), dont type ignorance, its not acceptable, my initial statement to you was not a put down, it was an attempt to point out the truth. If your lazy and eat shitty foods when your high that is you doing this not herb, herb is not a force that makes you do this or that , you have the control, this is what I was trying to say, hopefully you understand.

Havoc may have some good points. I personally don't indulge because the smoke sticks to me forever and the world would know what I just did. Plus my eyes get bloodshot and the fuckedupness is very obvious. But damn those are some good points. Another one he didn't mention is the help with sight. I've worn glasses for about 17 years, and the diminished vision is setting in. I've heard that some people can get prescription for Mary Jane for the eyes, or for cancer, and shit like that. Maybe I ought to investigate a little so I can find a legitimate medical reason to get fucked up!

It helps relieve pressure on the eyes, so it would help with glaucoma...Havoc, I took it the wrong way, my bad...I was trying to talk about how I do not have an extremely strict diet (as long as I get 200 grams of protien per day) but I try not to eat too much shit so I can keep my weight around 240, but when I smoke alot of weed, I just dont give a shit, but it isnt really having ni self control, I mean its not like I have a contest coming up, but when I do splurge, I have to watch my diet over the next few days so I dont go much over my target weight.

Havoc, I agree with most of what you said; that pot has many benefits, but I disagree on trying to take a test, playing a sport, and killing brain cells. When I'm stoned I have to read a paragraph several times so I would understand it, so I would not smoke before a test, however after the test is a different story. I think it does kill brain cells but if you use it in moderation as you said, it won't cause a problem. And playing sports, I think you play better when your sober....but that's just me. What I don't understand is why is weed illegal and alcohol is legal. Weed is much safer than alcohol. I could name you many reasons why but it would take a LONG time to write it all out.
Tryinhard I got a simple cure for those blood shot eyes......Clear eyes.
Goleafs, weed is soooooo much better than beer.
