why would i?

i know my body and i know how it feels when it's stoned... LAZY

to each their own but i'm personally trying to get away from that shit... not to say i mind it once in a while but i've been smoking and training long enough to know that excessive pot smoking hinders my training... especially the diet portion... i'd rather use caffeine as my substance of choice to get fired up

*continues to drink his pre-work out cup of joe*
 
i will admit the OCCASIONAL post work out sesh makes me feel incredible though...
 
No you'll get the munchies and gain weight. Smoke on a bulk.

The question is dumb, yes. THC doesn't have enough thermogenic affects to induce weight lose.

But the views of the anti-drug crowd are just as biased and ignorant.
 
Im bulking now and smoking helps me keep my appetite when im forrcing 4000 cals down my neck
 
Drug research is usually bias. If you are looking for studies, try to find private party research, not ones done by the Partnership for a Drug Free America or NORML.

As history shows, Cannabis has been used for over 10,000 years to battle many illnesses. It has been shown to have great antibiotic properties for E-N-S infections. It has been shown to reduce intraocular press in the eye, which helps patients suffering from Glaucoma. It serves as an appetite stimulant for people with wasting diseases (leads me to believe it would be great for someone on a bulk). Marijuana also helps with Multiple Sclerosis symptoms, and symptoms causes by the MS medications. It also possesses immunosuppressive properties to help the integrity of Myelin in MS patients.

Now bottom line, everyone is different. To inhale smoke is 100% unhealthy. In many people, it would reduce their cardiovascular endurance, which would make a good cardio session a little tougher (keep in mind I said MANY..I know people that have been smoking for years dominate on their college track team..it depends on the person) Aside from other negative effects of pot smoke, and smoke in general, unless your buying your buds from a grower, you never know what as been added to your bag. Some dealers have put very small glass particles in their put to look like more crystals, but actually make the buds heavier = more profit.

Anyways, in my opinion, Marijuana is safer than alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine. If you want the best intoxicant for when your cutting, id say its pot over beer. No calories, and who says the munchies are a bad thing? Its not like you have to go to Wendy's and get a 3/4 pound hamburger with fries. Salads with grilled chicken can be munchie food too!
 
all i kno is that after a hard workout, if i smoke later on that day, I'll get my 'pump' back. it feels wonderful.
 
Pot can be a big help in getting your required calories for the day.
 
everyone's different

some people eat,
some people don't eat.
i used to eat, but over time i didn't. i have a smoker's body. slimmer, but unhealthier. and somewhere in my mind, i'm still kind of happy about it. i'm looking over to only doing edibles, only there's a risk that edibles are usually fat derived---and i don't want to be fat. but still, i'm thinking of how the thc affects me now, and it really does control my appetite.
 
It's nice to read everybody's theories. However, the people I have known to smoke weed and be fat-arses (at the same time) have lost their large arse to an EXTENT. One kid from school was probably about 100 kgs in year 9, he started smoking weed about 6 months ago and is probably about 75-80 kgs now. Don't think that he has been eating well or anything, the only times I see him is when he has a chip packet or a hot dog in his hands, and he's also the laziest kid I know. My uncle is another example, he was a major fatty when he was about 16, and when he started weed, he started to shed. He lost the remainder of his fat by working out and eating well, but if you ask him he will actually admit he couldn't have done it without the STICKY ICKY.
 
I know this a 3-year-old thread and much has been said already. My 2 cents probably aren't needed, but I have something to say about the correlation between marijuana and hypertrophy.

Of course there are downsides to marijuana such as impairment of memory, cognitive skills, etc, and lung irritation. However, in moderation marijuana can assist in hypertrophy. It's a deep relaxant, and really helps those of us who suffer from insomnia (a condition which makes it difficult to maximize training gains due to lack of deep-sleep recovery). The deep relaxation from being high assists in muscle recovery. Ironically, some of the greatest gains came when I smoking more often. The downside to smoking more often is your cardio condition will likely decrease. However, based on my own results, if your diet is in check and you regularly perform cardio -- especially high-intensity cardio -- you can counter the negative effects to your heart and lungs. It's sort of like the carbon credits in energy corporations. They pollute the atmosphere a certain amount, but (theoretically) by giving back they attempt to maintain a balance.

There's also something to be said for the mental/emotional relaxation, as marijuana can greatly decrease this type of stress. There are many positive physiological effects marijuana can have on the body.

As for the original topic, it wouldn't have a direct relationship to weight loss. On the contrary, it would make it easier for a new lifter to adapt to a bulking diet. Marijuana enhances your appetite. The only thing to watch is making sure your appetite is for healthy, whole foods and not the traditional "munchies". There's nothing I love more than getting really baked and enjoying a pasta dinner. I'll even include a spinach salad.

If you can learn to keep these vices in check, then they can work to your advantage. Most people either abuse it or don't understand it.

obvcourse you can lose weight by smoking weed....hello it speeds your matablism up..so if you dont munch out loads just smoke before your tea or lunch etc and you will be skinny in no time:)
it worked with me when i ate when i wasnt high i couldnt stand food and it made me drop the pounds like you wouldnt believe it
 
Hello all, was looking up info on this and came across this thread... i personally would like to say, that i know from my own personal experience, that marijuana, when used everyday, just like any medication... will help you lose weight, regardless of how much you eat. the cause for this? the story goes, that pot CAN increase one's metabolism and once again, you can eat as much as you did when you were just a youngin, and you gain no weight, but lose some. however, with people who occasionally use pot like maybe once or twice a week, will not have that effect... they will just get the munchies, and may still not gain weight from what they eat while high, but as for losing weight... i'm not sure of. but i used to wear size 38 pants around March of last year... since then i have taken back up smoking, and it's now January, and i can wear size 34's now... probably 32's if i really wanted to lol... but my weight is still dropping, or averaging out... and to me this is a blessing because i've pretty much been around the 200 pound mark since i was 11 years old and was put on a medication called Remeron, which stimulated my appitite severely, and when i hit about 13 i had stopped taking it, but my weight still stayed around 190 to 200... now that i smoke everyday, i'm actually starting to notice how good lookin i am haha
 
:haha:

I bet a twelve year old wrote the above post...
 
Pot is a hallucinogen and a stimulant. Holding all other variable constant, it would lead to weight loss. But the loss would be negligible, and all other variables never stay constant anyway. Too many people believe pot makes you lazy therefor they head straight into a self fulfilling prophecy.

I very rarely smoke pot at all these days, if at all. But when I did smoke it I was actually very active. One of my favorite things to do was take a few bong hits then go and swim laps at the local Y.
 
They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference.
 
actually vortrit, i am 20 years old, turning 21 on march 8th... and you can say what you want, or believe what you want, but your not a believer in natural medication... it's all about pharmecuticals with people these days. I've been on pharmecuticals since i was born, ranging from stimulants for adhd, to anti-depressants for my ocd and major depression, anti-psychotics for my bi-polor mood swings and to help me goto sleep as i suffer from insomnia, also a high blood pressure medication, and muscle relaxers... now, i've come off of ALL those, and use nothing but pot for all of my medical needs. and yes, i have lost weight because i started using pot everyday... and not those horrible, side effect ridden, and harmful prescription medications, and smoke a natural plant that our creater made for us... so before you judge someone asshole, atleast hear their story out you prick...
 
oh, and did i mention i have a hiatal hernia? causing me to vomit several times a day, everyday, after everything i eat? pot helps to stop my nausea and vomiting as well... even before i started smoking again, i use to throw up everything i ate because i would cough it back up and be all nauseous, yet i never lost any weight like those idiotic "bulimics" claim to do. but now, that i have started smoking several times a day, everyday, my weight loss has truly been a blessing to me... so yes i smoke pot, and i will always continue to smoke pot until the day i die... why? because it's the only truly happy way i can live without wanting to commit suicide everyday like i used to feel like when i was on anti-depressants...
 
from my experience smoking pot definitely makes you burn more calories on a regular basis.. combine it with a good diet with the guidelines on this site and you'll see the weight drop very quickly. Although on the other hand weed makes it harder for me to stick to a diet. So if you think you have the control go for it.

I have to add from my experience I always smoked blunts, so it could be the tobacco in the wrap for the weed that was causing me to lose weight. just a heads up.

So true. The only thing pot helps with in the gym is extreme focus. But look, it's a sedative. Smoke pot after you work out.

It is not a god damn sedative. It is a mother fucking stimulant and hallucinogen. The biggest problem with drugs I've noticed is the complete and utter ignorance of those same people who are using them.
