Marijuana and Bodybuilding

[hypo_glycemic]

I don t know if I already posted this but weed in my opinion in "Body Building"...

If your tryin to go pro obviously its not a good idea.

But if your the casual johnny hard cock tryin to look good for peggy ann...






Nothing.. and I mean NOTHING, makes me run longer on a treadmill then burning one down before hand.

Lot's of IFBB pros puff, but I agree, nothing keeps me more focused than and ...

I mean the studies dont lie.

Weed decreases lung capacity, ups estrogen and makes you lethargic.

The top pros are prolly not smoking grass IMO.

By Amanda Reiman, Drug Policy Alliance
In this week?s ?hypocrisy news,? the federal government continues to deny the medical value of cannabis even in light of contrary claims by its own agency, the National Institute of Health.
According to an article on NBC News.com, the Advocates for the Disabled and Seriously Ill (ADSI) took issue with the fact that in a National Cancer Institute (NCI) report, cannabis is hailed as a medicine that ?inhibited the survival of both estrogen receptor-positive and estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer cell lines, and may provide risk reduction and treatment of colorectal cancer.? Further, the report states that cannabis does not cause lung cancer, and might have a protective effect against its formation.
The hypocrisy is in the fact that the NCI is part of the National Institute of Health, an agency of the federal government ? the same government that claims cannabis has no accepted medical use. Apparently curing cancer does not fit the definition of ?medical.?
This is not the first time we have heard claims of the anti-cancer effects of cannabis. In 2006, Dr. Donald Tashkin at UCLA conducted a study to determine if there was a link between lung cancer and cannabis. Even Tashkin was surprised by the outcome stating, ?we hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer, and that the association would be more positive with heavier use. What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect.?
But there?s more.
In the mid 1990′s, Cristina Sanchez, a scientist in Madrid found that THC, one of the active ingredients in cannabis kills brain cancer cells. This effect was replicated by Manuel Guzman and his team of researchers in Spain in the mid 2000′s. Guzman administered THC via catheter to nine patients with brain cancer who had been resistant to other medications. Tumor growth was reduced in every single subject. Guzman published his study in the British Journal of Pharmacology in 2006.
Also in the mid 2000′s, scientists from Harvard found that administering THC slowed the growth of lung cancer cells. The Harvard study made the important discovery that cannabis can kill the affected cells while leaving healthy cells alone, something that makes chemotherapy take such a toll on the body.
So, why would our government, in light of scientific evidence that cannabis kills cancer cells continue their party line of ?no medical value?? Is it to save face? To not have to admit how wrong they are?
Last night, I gave a talk about medical cannabis at the Women?s Cancer Resource Center in Oakland, CA. The room was packed with women (and some of their husbands) who have (or had) cancer. These women are brave, they are fighters and they would do anything in their power to take back control of their health. All they want is a level playing field.
When I told them about the ADSI article, the NCI report and the research, they were angry. They wanted to know why their government had been keeping this from them and their doctors. They wanted to know why they were steered towards chemotherapy and prescription pills that took away any quality of life they had.
They were angry, but then they become hopeful. They live in California, and cannabis is available to them. They felt empowered when we spoke of going to a dispensary and making choices about their health and their treatment. They lamented their sisters in non-medical cannabis states who were still in the dark and considered criminals.
Most of all, they just asked why? Why would our government deny this information to the millions of people who could be helped by it?

**********you should be ashamed to write such bullshit

I mean the studies dont lie.]....we all know that it depends on who does the 'study' & who's paying for it.....We don't need to stoke the flames of fear about weed.... we have enough enemies...the church,gov,police,military,schools.

I think it's hard to get an objective study on cannabis. Researchers are either pro-pot or anti-pot. Most smokers seem convinced that weed is a miracle drug and any purported negative side effects are just propaganda because the gov't doesn't want us to have good things or something to that effect. Gov't sponsored studies clearly want it to be found harmful so they can have evidence why it should stay illegal. No one goes into a weed study with no alterior motives. The scientific method teaches us to gather data first then observe and eventually come up with a conclusion. With pot and gear, it seems people are going to be for it regardless, and they then find studies to support their view. This is the opposite of how a decision should be made.

Please show me your evidence that weed decreases lung capacity. I have seen many studies claiming the opposite.

Interesting when Big Pharma has been trying isolate all the compounds in weed to produce "MJ in a pill", which has ALOT more do with why the Feds won't take weed off the controlled substances list.

^^^ I have a few read studies on what I was spouting, but I don't want to dick measure.


4-9 miles a day, 8 minute miles

I'm lucky if I get 3 now, 12 minutes +.

My lungs have definatley suffered... but then again I am high All. Day. Long.

Personally... Weed is only good for cardio... and it's the fact that my mind is occupied from burning.

I dont have strength when I lift while i'm high.... so I just stick to lightweight, very high reps.

Great for appetite tho.

Oh and if your a little tapped in the head like myself, it can bring you back to reality for a spell.... or help you escape, whichever you prefer !


Ho ho ho ho hope this helps !

 

[D-Lats]

I smoke at least 3 times a week. Helps me sleep and sleep is growth so if its ok to take sleep aids why can't I choose the one that works best for me? I'm in Canada tho so it's pretty much legal here anyway unless your running a grow house.

The FDA declared that the sellers of over-the-counter glucosamime could not state that it builds up skeletal joints. The person that made that decision in the FDA was actually a contractor that worked for a company that produces a prescription version of glucosamime that's advertised to do just that.

Studies don't lie? WTF! Explain the problem we have with different groups researching the same issue and coming up with completely opposite conclusions. Explain why top pros have pictures taken of them smoking weed. Explain why top athletes have been fined for coming up positive on drug test for marijuana. Explain how lethargic people enjoy getting off their computer going outside to do fun things with their friends. Explain how I am lethargic when I am lifting my ass off after smoking a bowl and enjoying my workout way more than if I had not smoked weed.

Explain why it's okay that groups -- political, corporate or otherwise -- can buy the studies that they want to have made to further their agenda. Often at the cost of society.

exactly. it doesnt constrict the lungs like tobacco and canabanoids actually relax the lungs. the SMOKE part is out weighed by the medicinal part by alot. to the point in one of a few studies found; tobacco smokers + cannabis were healthier then tobacco smokers that didnt smoke cannabis!

you need to be careful when agendas may be part of the old studies you may read. like the brain cell damage one... forced smoke into monkeys and that caused brain damage, it could have been burnt lavender or even just rice paper and it would have caused the damage to brain with your forcing massive amounts of smoke and starving the brain of oxygen.... worthless study that was bias TO FIND WHAT THEY WANTED TO....

There's not 1 study about what elicit drugs are done during a bodybuilding career and post career!

All I'm saying--and there's tons of people that could vouch--there's MANY MANY NPC amateurs and IFBB Pros that smoke weed.. period! I just talked to one on the phone today lmao...

 

[D-Lats]

If anyone on here knows what pros and top amateurs do its Hypo. He is not a bullshitter and legit knows pros personally. If someone's willing to take all the things bodybuilders do weed is probably very low on the things to worry about list. Face it weed is everywhere, deal with it.

More weed smoking sluts please.
