Thread: Marijauna+Lifting

Probably not the best idea.

I don't believe it would.

Does taking in smoke full of Carcinogenic Chemicals affect you negatively? The answer is YES!

there are no naturally occurring carcinogens in marijuana the same as the tobacco plant, the chemical additives are the carcinogens.

Marijuana does contain carcinogens although maybe not as much as cigaretts. Even smoked and barbequed food has carcinogens in it.

save the weed for after the workout if your gonna do it

to date there is not one reported case of cancer caused by marijuana smoking alone an any medical journal, anywhere...obviously those that smoke mj and cigarettes are going to be at risk for various cancers

once you eliminate the direct heat with a vaporizer the overall effects on the health are negligible. man has been smoking tobacco and mj for thousands of years the types of lung cancers, etc. seen today are relatively new thanks to all the chemical additives.

I returned to the thread with the intent of bringing that up. Even if there was some evidence pulled up that concludes that there are carcinogenic qualities, for all intents and purposes, it probably wouldn't be any more dangerous than the chemicals that are pumped through the food we eat.

The plant itself contains some carcinogens and the grower who uses fertilizers to grow the plant adds all sorts of carcinogenic chemicals to the plant. When you smoke it these chemicals release thru the heat of the fire and go straight to your lungs and into your blood stream. The tar from the smoke collects on your cells in the bronchial.

Yeah I was talkin about after. I tried blazin then lifting and it sucked it was by far the shittest workout ever. But a buddy of mine swears by it. I can't stand it though

Yes, the incineration of any organic matter can be carcinogenic and additionally cause the deposition of tar. There is evidence to support both those ideas with regard to marijuana. However, there are still no deaths or instances of cancer that can be attributed to marijuana use.

Here's a study indicating that marijuana use is not linked to cancer: SpringerLink - Cancer Causes and Control, Volume 8, Number 5

One that argues the opposite:Cannabis use and risk of lung cancer: a case


And here's a news article discussing a very highly publicized study from UCLA that was conducted a few years back. Dr. Donald Tashkin is leading pulminologist and also an advocate for marijuana reform.

I was a rec. smoker til about age 30, and trained very hard all through my twenties. I liked to smoke at night. Kinda miss it sometimes, but my job does not allow for rec. drug use. Not worth losing my teaching license over. Always thought it was the least damaging drug when used in moderation, even more than alcohol.

I completly agree "MDR". I just wish the shit wasn't so damn expensive

I'm sure i'll get flamed for this one but on cardio days i like to take a poke or two about 45 minutes to an hour before i go to the gym. i do the eliptical, by the time i get there my mind is on cruise control. i put on my MP3 player and the next thing i know my 45 minutes are done and i have gone faster and more miles than when i don't poke. i'm not saying its right, i'm just saying what it does to me. but i don't poke on lift days.

Well, cross your fingers for positive results on November 2. You might be making some road trips to California.

Haha yeah well i'm not too far from colorado so i usually road trip there for the nice buds.

The artist formely known as M11 said it right. Anytime you inhale smoke it is not good for you.

I think ti is fine, but your order is wrong. You need to smoke weed, then go lift. This is not a joke. Best workouts of my entire life was after blazing on the way to the gym.

Good Point!

Post workout is ALLLLLL good though. Relaxes you and enables you to eat more, perfect for bulking.

Ive blazed and lifted. it can bring about a strange focus where youre so in tuned with your body (mind/muscle connection)

But for the most part, if you smoke b4 hand, its not gonna be a PR/PB day, thats for sure!

And, like all inhaled carbon based things, decreased lung capacity can hinder your goals. Moderation is the key, like everything else.

This.

VAPORIZE if your worried about the health concerns otherwise no affect or effect to body for training. Might help increase appetite for you bulk cycle guys as long as you eat clean food and snacks!!!

Smoke a J keeps the Doc Away!!

Always smoke post w/o for the obvious. smoking prior for most but not all has a negative impact on intensity of workout and focus.

Keep on cheifing bro all GOOD

...not another goddam Marijuana thread!

What I posted was that it has carcinogens in it. I did not post that it caused lung cancer. You posted that it did not have carcinogens in it (wether harmful or not), and that is not true. Even smoked foods have carcinogens in them. I did not state that it was the same as cigaretts, which obviously have chemicals, etc., added and are way more harmful. Any smoke from burning plant matter is going to contain carcinogens.

I've been meaning to buy a vaporizer for ages now.

The Hooch or Marijuana after a workout gives you the munchies. Now ehen you are very hungru with the munchies its not likely you will reach for a healthy snack. Chances are you will eat sugary or salty foods. That cant be good for bulking up.

My experiance ditch the crap unless you are a seriously stressed out dude.

what about coke and cutting?

In a sense, "Yes." It is with deep regret many individuals use an alternative means to suppress or to change their existing state or mood. Whatever, their whim for usage the long term and their needs for dependency with psycotropic drugs puzzles many in the body building arena, for their whole goal is make themselves bigger, stronger and healthier. Yes, I mention "healthier" only because their belief, matching those that are against (if using) Anabolic is still for their own set goals. (much described above).

I asked several men and found that their goals with or without gear is to strengthen their body's and to maintain their current weight and muscle mass, and/or make more in the means of healthier body.


I asked them, do you use recreational drugs, and most reply that are or have been into body building for years..."NO" Do yourself a favor and grab a good book and read that, before going into the use of drugs that are truly unnecessary.
