i probably smoke four times a day on average.  i also do mushrooms and lsd sporadically.  the key is to use moderation, and not indulge yourself in these things if you don't have your priorities straight.

i smoke every now and then, proabbaly once a week or so, and it certainly helps with food consumption. How long does it reduce your test levels for just out of interest?

4 times a day's moderation?  LOL

I know a guy at my gym who appears to be on PCP every time I see him.  Guy has the worst form on every single exercise.  Looks like he just came from reading Flex, while doing crystal meth.  He's probably like....yeah man, I'm going to get jacked too!  Does another line, then goes to the gym on 2 calories and mad energy.  Makes me laugh everytime.  Weed is for homos...sorry.

Gotcha.

So if someone sucked cock for a few months in high school, then quit, would you still consider him a "homo"?
Most likely.  However, if someone drank a few beers when they were a kid, I wouldn't call him an alcoholic 10 years later.  I'm sure most people would agree on that.  Don't compare blowing your boyfriend to smoking weed.  Good try on your analogy though...haha.

Another well articulated reply.  It has nothing to do with morals.  I just think it's gay, sorry.  Most people who smoke on a daily basis just can't cope with reality or need it to enjoy simple things, like posting opinions nobody cares about on getbig.com.  Usually, pretty unreliable as well.  Not all, but most I've known.  It has nothing to do with being successful or not.  My cousin is a lawyer and smokes every day, still to me...it's whack.

Chronic daily use involves some negatives including resparatory conditions much like smoking, and psychologically it can be a crutch. In moderation the negatives are minor, and are more than worth it.

If I smoked regularly I'd get a vaporizer or cook with it instead.

I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more

Oh, my daddy he once told me, "Son, you be hard working man"
My mama she once told me, "Son, you do the best you can"
But then one day I met a man who came to me and said
"Hard work good and hard work fine, but first take care of head"

So now,
I smoke two joints when I get up, in the car I smoke two joints
I smoke two joints when I play video game
And at every ten thousand points
(I smoke two joints)
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more

SMOKE TWO JOINTS
That's what I do
SMOKE TWO JOINTS
Come and smoke two joints with me in the morning
SMOKE TWO JOINTS
Come and smoke two joints with me in the afternoon, yeah
SMOKE TWO JOINTS
Hey, would you rather smoke two joints or would you rather do your homework?
SMOKE TWO JOINTS
I knew you were going to say that!

Only when abused



There are ZERO studies concluding that "use" among healthy adult males causes any longterm health deffects.

The ONLY time Anabolic Steroids have been shown to cause any type of long term health defects are when extremly abused. And even the studies show this are rare.

This "Real Sports" episode explains it well.

420 Diesel, I'm sure you think its very ANIMAL of you to smoke up 4 times a day, but that shit has a shitload more tar in it than cigarettes, so lung cancer is in your future, most likely. Other than that I don't think occasional use is harmful to a bodybuilder.

I smoked before a couple of workouts, not great but supposedly some like it for the workout.

Vaporizer's ARE sterile, but for a regular smoker they're a must to save the lungs, and are more potent using less weed.
Title: Re: Marijuana and Bodybuilding...
Post by: Don Miracle on April 12, 2006, 03:21:52 PM
A person who chooses to seriously pump iron while being a regular pot smoker should know the differences between pot classifications:  

Indica produces a relaxed sort of feeling, also known as 'couchlock'.  It is the type of smoke to induce extreme hunger and it's the type of weed known for having medicinal qualities.  From my own experience, it's excellent for the end of the day - when all meaningful physical activity has been done. Smoked too early in the day, it guarantees a drag-ass feeling that's only suitable for bedtime.  A single toke of indica before or during a workout can quickly knock a person off his goal for that session.  There's nothing worse than losing the mind-to-muscle connection before you've completed your workout.

Sativa, on the other hand, can cause stimulation.  Bodybuilders who've talked about smoking before the gym (as I've seen Arnold quoted as saying) were/are undoubtedly using sativa.  

Unfortunately, though, with the advances in quick turning indoor marijuana production, pure sativa strains have become almost unheard of.  Sativas tend to be very tall, mostly stemmed plants.  These types of plants are very impractical to grow indoors, and the sativa influences are becoming far less apparent in today's buds.  While almost every strain today is some mixture of sativa and indica, they're almost always based on indica due to it's practicality as an indoor plant.

My advice?  Forget pot during the day.  Enjoy some indica tokes *after* you've hit the iron, and fix yourself a big shake as your woman prepares your high protein dinner.

Innaccurate, too simplistic. Weed or alchohol in moderation's often a great enhancer of the mind. Ask psychiatrists, artists or musicians how much it can add to creativity or expansion of one's perspectives by freeing the mind from established patterns.

NOTHING to do with abuse or use of hard drugs.

Muscualar Development did an article on this subject about 6 months ago. They had a study with guys who smoked vs. those who did not. What they found is that is really makes no difference either way. Right after you start smoking it does affect testosterone/estrogen levels for a week or two and then your body adjust and there is no effect (hormonally). If you have been smoking for awile then it will not affect your bodybuilding goals..unless it makes you lazy as it does some people. You shouldn't take it up as a new hobby a couple weeks out from a show though.

Oh my F***ing god, you guys will use any kind of false semantics to prove weed mariuana isn't bad.

- Freeing ones mind of established patterns? the odd artist will use the high as inspiration, 99% of the people get high and nothing productive comes of it.

- Alcohol/smoking etc is bad too! how many times have we heard this one, ofcourse alcohol is bad too, that doesn't justify the use of pot. It's kindergarten-level reasoning, please don't bother.

I am not against the use of mariuana, I smoke pot, however very sparingly. I've seen too many people that are heavy users (4 times a day is a heavy user btw) lose their 'edge', it really is a killer for your shortterm memory. I see it in my younger brother aswell I'm affraid.

You don't need pot to get in the zone, say you smoke weed because you like it, don't come up with the rest of the BS, cause you too well know it is!

self proclaimed meltdown! BooYAAh!

Quite unintentionally you've reinforced the previosus point: *big* difference between moderate and heavy use, despite the fact you mention them in the same breath. 4 times a day like that guy here is clearly an addict & heavy user.

"False semantics"? Congrats on mangling the english language; an excellent means of discrediting your position. That misguided combination of words isn't even apropos for whatever you were attempting to say. :D False semantics?

That was pretty fuckin funny..

Nothing wrong with the odd joint here and there, you just need to know when to and when not to. Become a stoner and your life hits a brick wall - you'll spend every waking moment thinking about your next high/next score and your life will revolve around playstation, the muchies, your dealer and the sofa.

Keep it real baby! Responsibilities come first...   smoke up when everythings in check

What pros?

Are you in constant pain?
Are you in dire need of inspiration?

Please show me research that tells of these pros for normal people.
Marihuana has medical applications, such as painrelief and perhaps for certain neuropsychological disorders like spasmism and epilepsy.
It has no benefits for a healthy person.


I am not as biased as you believe me to be.

  Use of alcohol does justify use of marijuana if the argument is that someone should be able to use it because it is their body and they are an adult. That's called consistent, logical thinking.

marujana does help you to see very clearly and very positively once you get accostomed to using it and i agree used moderately (ie. getting stoned once/twice a week for example) it can be of a positive mental benefit. Just as a side issue anyone else smokes weed feel like when they are stoned their muscles feel full and blown up like mad?

People use it for enjoyment, yes! I know! Eureka! And I'm A-OK with that, I just get mad when people make up stories to justify their pot use, just say you like it, because that's the bottom line.
But that's not the kind of 'beneficial' I've been refering to.

@LuciusF
You can't derail a topic, in this case marihuana-use, by saying, "but hey, what about alcohol?" That's not debating. And for the record, I do think alcohol-abuse is a much, much bigger issue than marihuana.

Smoking anything is not benign. It's bad for your lungs, you inhale carcinogens and release a lot of free radicals into the body. Just because you feel OK and it doesn't hurt you doesn't justify its safety. Many people feel fine and develop cancer out of nowhere later in life.
It's common sense. My roomate smokes it regularly. Says it's his "medicine" and he feels fine, yet the guy coughs up his lungs every morning. Yeah that shit is harmless. A fine way to interfere with your muscular recovery.

You're not a fag if you smoke, to me it's just whack, same with gear.  Doesn't mean you're an assclown if you juice, but the majority of people who juice look mediocre.  Sorry, it's not impressive to me.  I wouldn't say Cutler looks mediocre.

I used to use it before every workout.  I would always combine it with a strong pre-workout stimulant/thermogenic to override the lethargy.  The benefits for bodybuilding are:  it enhances your mind to muscle connection, enhances your pump because it is a strong vasodilator, enhances your post-workout appetite, and relaxes your muscles enhancing recovery.  Used properly it can definitely enhance your gains.

Stop thinking in absolutes, just once. Smoking in moderation involves minor negatives that are outweighed by positives, nothing like your severe experiences as a pothead.


Nice smoke-free highs:

Pot butter preparation that can be used in brownies, cookies, on toast, etc.:


Classic version:


1) Heat butter or cooking oil using low heat on the stove.

2) Simmer the weed for 1/2 hour, mixing regularly to ensure the oil or butter isn't burned-the heat just be just shy of the temperature that will cause it to burn. A "light" batch will use less weed, and keep in mind that potency is much higher than the same quantity when smoked.

3) Let sit for 5 minutes then strain the pot butter (using a coffee filter or cheesecloth) into a small bowl.

4) Once cool enough to handle, filter through a coffee filter or cheesecloth, disgard remnants.

5) Cover the butter/oil and refrigerate until semi-solid.

7) Mix this into a simple brownie mix or use elsewhere as a butter substitute.


Second version:

The procedure is simple. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, then put butter in.

Then put the grass in (he separates all the seeds first so he can plant them in the nearby park.) Now all the grass is riling around with the water and butter: the cannabinoids dissolve into the butter, while most of the nasty flavors and gook dissolve into the water. Stir regularly.

After cooking the grass like this for a while (say, half an hour), kitchen really smells incriminating. He strains out the spent plant matter, squeezes all the juice out of it, and puts the liquid in the fridge.

A few hours later, the mixture is cool enough that the cannabutter has solidified on the surface. It looks kind of scummy, but its just enchanted butter. He scoops it out and retains it in a bowl or a jar. The grass-nasty water is thrown out.

Although this method takes longer than the usual saute-n-strain method, it has several advantages:
* As explained above, the nasty shit is separated and removed from the fun shit.
* You can make stronger cannabutter than by saute-ing, because you can cook more grass in the same amount of butter, due to the extra volume of the water.
* There is no danger of burning the precious, price-inflated, hard and dangerous to obtain herb, as there is when you saute, because the water keeps the whole mixture at boiling temperature!

The cannabutter can be used just like butter, in brownies, on garlic bread,
or mixed with honey on your finger!

Wow... I found this topic and had to read it... made me laugh my ass off. Seriously laugh my ass off.. so funny.

Sure weed is bad for you, but is that a reason not to do it... almost all the good stuff is bad for you in one way or another so if your going to live your life worrying then its best to just not leave your house incase you get T boned on your way to work... car accidents are going up, watch out man.

All the people who are so narrow minded are the ones that make me laugh... WEED IS THE DEVIL ITS SO BAD FOR YOU... pff you sound like women, crying about how your gonna live two years longer than me because I smoked weed when I was young. Its funny how everything you say is so high and mighty, your always right... someones shit is someones gold... its all about perspective. So don't sit there and say IT CAN'T or it WONT because youve "heard" or "knew" people who did this and that when they were stoned. Yea the steriotypical view is that stoners are lazy but that doesn't mean all or even most are... its basically put that way because of high school of collage kids who smoke it and play vids. What else do they got to do other than party and study?

I usto smoke weed a lot, and I mean a lot. When I was younger and still smoking the stuff I would smoke before school, during, and after... and yea at first it made me lazy, well not lazy but more mellow and just made me want to just "chill out"

I usto get the munchies on weed but before I stopped it didn't effect my appetite at all, well it didn't really ever make me wana buy munchies but my friends always did so I ate them anyways... haha

As for health, its not worse than cigeretes for your lungs, but it isn't any better... The main reason its so bad is not because of chemicals but the fact your inhaling smoke... from a fire.. so no way thats good. Obviously a pipe or joint is the worse, bong doesn't decrease it much but a tiny bit.. a vaporizer does a lot and is by far the healthiest way to go but for me I bought one and it didn't do anything, it was sopsto save weed and your lungs but it seemed to waste weed and not get me high. (maybe I cheaped out by only spending 100 bucks, but 600 was outa my range then)

Did it benifit me at any time, yes... A LOT, the most common way was by making anything fun as hell. Any song I listened to was 100x times better than normal.. in fact I could sit in my room and smoke some weed, before I noticed a hour was gone and I had a blast.. haha, I drive better stoned because I don't speed as much and concentrate more by not talking to friends or taking my eyes of the road. I could focus on anything more beit a book, writing, work, women... mainly becuase it made anything so fun.

As for working out, it actually helped me a lot. Long time ago, maybe a year before I found this site I was working out on-and-off somtimes weeks off and sometimes steady. I was using a different full body routine then so I worked out if not every day every other. After I started working on the rigs id come home too tired, all I would do is eat and read.. or watch tv. After I started smoking weed again I started working out everyday. When I stopped I went back to the on-off routine untill recently I became more serious. Basically I would be tired as hell at work and be like "shit im too tired to work out today, all im gonna do is go home, smoke a joint and relax" Id get home and blaze up and before I knew it I was thinking "hell why not work out... what else am I gonna do cept sit around" the soreness and tiredness from work was gone and I was excited about working out.. when only 30mins before I didn't have the energy to think about it.

Oh I also seemed to get a better sleep on weed, I didn't have the stay awake with stray thoughts kidna thing.. I just hit the bed and poof im out. Again thats just me and I know some people who are your steriotypical stoner who don't do anything but burn out.. cant keep jobs ect... but thats not to say all of it is bad. Its like anything, even a work out program, what works for some might not work for others.

In all honesty unless u have been stoned u don’t kno,and all people react differently, I myself have had benefits from weed, the biggest plus is that I become sooo in tuned with my body I can really feel every muscle/bone down to the smallest fibers in my body and thats a huge plus, its kinda like a check-up on my own body, feelings pains, density etc. but it has also allowed me to open up my mind in a lot of ways and see things from many perspectives, I have grown a lot mentally, although most of u will call me a typical wack "STONER" weed can take u to different mind sets, plus sleep is much better and apatite is better, but it sucks when im dieting. Plus if u kno its gona be an uneventful night anyways might as well enjoy it high makes everything more relaxed and fun. oh oh and SEX high is awesome so in tuned to each others body and stuff actually unexplainable, its kinda like "E" but not nearly intense. if u learn how to use weed its a completely different "drug", and as an open minded matured adult weed can be used as helpful tool and add some fun.  plus theirs no health issue.        but that my 2 cents

Good give up..

Younggunz is exactly right, everything is better on weed. It does, to some people help a lot..  Im not gonna say it opens your mind to a whole new world but it definitly gives you a different perspective on everything..

It also depends on your type of personality, if you become dependent on things easily... ie your clingy or gget addicted easily then I don't think you would benifit too much from it besides the good times it will give you. If not and you can use it right, like anything, then it could help you a lot in any aspect of your life. I sometimes work part time at a recording studio and the owner who produces most of the tracks does it a lot of the time stoned. Before you say anything, no its not rap... he produces all kinds of music from metal to country, actually has no rappers/hip hop acts.

Again this isn't a try it once and you will be open to everything, I smoked weed for years in my youth partying before I noticed it helped me with workouts. I don't smoke it anymore as I needed to pass a drug test a while back and just never touched it since. I just can't stand these people who say straight up its wrong and its all bull shit... I know people who have the "my way or the highway" view on religion or other topics and its just stupid. I laugh at their low mentality, there is no way anyone can say for sure if it does or doesn't benifit some, if someone says it does then it obviously does. EVEN IF every doctor says the opposite, no one knows ones body like themselves and if weed helps them with whatever it may be there doing then so be it.

On another note weed is probably the only drug that ive tried thats good for any benifits other than the "high" you feel, I assume speed would help with a lot of things but ive yet to try it.

Why not grow it?

I live on a Mililtary installation...  Plus I don't need THAT much herb!  I mean I just need to hook-up with some friendly rastas or Hawaiian dudes with some dank-ass shit for a reasonable price.  All I want is maybe an 1/8th of some dank which would last me quite a while at the frequency I would cheef.  Maybe get blitzed once a week or every couple weeks is all...  I'll manage... 8)
