I've heard from my brother that when he worked out in the gym AFTER he was high on weed the previous day, that the THC that was stored in his fat cells worked its way back into his blood stream and he felt a numbing and cold sensation instead of the pain from lactic acid build up. However the next day he felt twice the amount of soreness from his workout because he was doing more reps than he was used to.
That may be why your friend suggested it. So that you don't feel the pain from the lactic acid build up in your muscles and keep lifting. However I suggest that you lift the same amount as you normally would and only up your reps slightly. The last thing that you want to do is work your muscles to the point that you injure yourself and not even know about it until the very next day.

Marijuana has amino acids in it that help buffer lactic acid build up and burns fat and help the muscles with protein as long as when you get the munchies you are not eating cookies and sweeties, this is where people get the harmful effects of the munchies, but as far as stamina goes, the more you smoke the less lung elasticity you will have so keep it at a moderate level and you will be fine.

You are only paranoid because it is AGAINST THE LAW!! Its not because it makes you paranoid. If Coca Cola or a Mcdonald's cheese burger was ILLEGAL and it was sold under the table, then YOU WOULD BE PARANOID. It has nothing to do with the weed. Also, The lies that are told by the companies that want marijuana to be illegal because of it's benefits, pay SCIENTISTS to LIE about this stuff. You can pay off the media if you were part of the companies worrying about the Pharmaceuticals being eliminated because of marijuana's health benefits.

There have been no official studies since the 30's that suggest that marijuana is actually bad. They passed laws about it to ban it, but there have been no real facts to support claims of Death and Infertility, Craziness, etc. I got pregnant with my first child to a 'pot head' while taking the pill. he had 2 children with his ex wife prior.... so He was definitely not infertile.
& to point out that new studies are finding health benefits.... people with cancer, or stomach problems, are given marijuana to help nausea, n to help them eat. so If we are giving marijuana to our ill citizens, how in the world can you say it is so bad? Read up on it before judging it. Indians have used it for centuries, white people used it, laws were passed in the 30's are now being questioned, and some states have lifted the ban. if you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk about it. :-)

weed is the equivalent to alcohol. it just gets hated on more..but ask yourself, how many people die from drunken accidents. now how many people does weed kill? you people are retarded.

I don't approve of drugs but weed is not bad. The largest reason that weed is hated is because way back when the lumber industry was having a boom, the largest CEO of the largest lumber company found that hemp (or weed) was going to start to be used for all of the things trees are used for now, mainly because the fact that it was ten to twenty times cheaper. So the CEO started a smear campain against hemp so he wouldn't loose billions of dollars. That is why hemp or weed is hated so much. And for some of you people who can't read very well, a big fat man said hemp was bad and made it illegal.

WoW! Some of the post here and opinions on marijuana are seriously disturbing. I guess a lot of you have fell into the same government fear campaigns designed by our great gov. and wealthy corporations that have been going on since the 20's. Marijuana is a NATURAL growing plant that is less dangerous for you then aspirin. Marijuana does NOT affect the same glands in the lungs that cigarets do and you will have enough oxygen going to your lungs to finish any work out. No one has ever died of overdosing or long term effects of marijuana. People that smoke marijuana have kids all the time..... There are different strains of marijuana that all stem from 2 types, Sativa and indica. Sativa boost your energy and is highly recommended to take before lifting weights if you smoke. A true Sativa can give you a clear head, focus and energy for hours if its a good strain. Indica is great for after workouts. It relaxes your muscles and helps them start to rebuild if smoking at night as it puts you in a deeper more relaxed sleep. Indica is also great for people with nagging pains, injuries, cancer. I am a personal trainer and train many medical card holders in Colorado during thier physical therapy and also people with goals to become stronger. Marijuana is 100% natural unlike the hundreds of $$ you spend on your overpriced pills and shakes made by who knows. Do you know where the products in these supplements come from? Get a grip people, marijuana is only a drug because the "trustworthy" Gov. said so.....

your an id**t. marijuana is not bad for you, maybe if you do it constantly all day for the rest of your life. if you go out and party one weekend and smoke alittle weed its not gonna f**k your life up. nonone has died or gotten cancer from weed. you clearly know nothing about weed. it does not decrease your testoserone level i dont know where you got that BS. but its not right. the only affects weed has is forgetting things. if you stay active you will be fine...

I know this over a year old, but some of this is complete nonsense. There has never been any marijuana related deaths. Ever. Check the facts. Also i've smoked and worked out before and it is great.

I have been married to a heavy marijuana user for over 22 years.
I decided to post my experience as so many people feel marijuana doesn't have any ill effects. And I hope I can help others in some way.
He has been sober for 7 years. So I am also going to explain the longterm negative effects as well that we have experienced.
first and foremost was the lack of sexual desire on his part. Studies show that low testosterone happen because of marijuana use. This is a big problem I use to think what is wrong with me am I not pretty enough and skinny enough and always was feeling unloved and not good enough and not sexy, as you can figure out this created an unhappy marraige. By the way I am a very good looking woman and in really good shape and I like sex, I never said no to him but he does say no to me and wouldn't have sex for 5 years I was going to leave him and to try to make things work and get me to stay he is now having sex with me but I have to initiate and it is not very good there is no passion and he is plain boring. He doesn't really want to have sex, he is trying to appease me so I won't leave him. He has erections but they are softer not hard like when he was young. I believe this is due to low testosterone ,( marijuana isnt the only way to get low testosterone) but it is one way and I believe my husband has low testosterone from his use, because a friend told me for 8 years she struggled with her husbands low sex drive and kept telling him it was low-t but his pride wouldn't let him get it checked then he took some testosterone for weight lifting and his libido went up he had harder longer erections and couldnt keep his hands off his wife and realized she was right and was sorry for making her suffer for 8 years. Her story is similar to mine and so I hope my husband will get his hormones checked soon. His weight gain isnt attractive and his loss of muscles and his moodiness and anxiety and depression are completely making me want to not have alot to do with him. He has become narcissistic and thinks he is in better shape then most his age which isn't saying much. He is paranoid and negative. All of this has been attributed to longterm pot smoking. He wasn't like this when I married him, he had been sober for awhile and things were great we never argued and got along great when he started smoking again he was critical and lazy and quik to anger and when he didnt have pot he was mean and abusive when he was on pot he wasn't there he was in his own world watching tv and falling asleep so he wasn't available to have a good close relationship anymore, we fought alot and he started being verbally abusive and would break things. He use to be fun and we use to laugh alot, now he just focuses on his problems and he cant have real fun as he talks about them constantly and drives everyone away from him because they are tired of his constant focus on his problems with others that he cant change like someone he has to work with who treats him badly. He won't let it go and talks constantly about it for 3 years. He doesn't see how people start avoiding him because of what he is doing. He doesn't take responsibilty for his actions and blames others for his problems. And he complains to me that this person doesnt call him back anymore. Most people like him at first when they meet him he is fun and charming. He has no real longterm friends.
The personality changes are being linked to longterm marijuana use even psychosis is being linked to it. And in my experience I believe this is what has changed him as well. Paranoia is linked to it and depression.
Though he has been sober now for 7 years the patterns he created in his personality remain he is depressed, paranoid, lazy, distant, narcissistic, blames others, negative and can get angry easily and rages. He still has low sex drive and on top of this he has chronic health problems constant liquid or water in his lungs so he is constantly coughing and congested and keeps buying z packs from other countries and taking antibiotics cause he feels constantly sick and they do nothing for him. I believe it is the damage his lungs have sustained from the smoke. He is always feeling sick and cant sleep and keeps his body in high stress and overload, It's like he can't calm down and just enjoy life. He is now addicted to sleeping pills and has taken 4-5 at a time to sleep and he usually even with sleeping pills only gets 3-4 hours of sleep before he wakes up again. He has driven on sleeping pills and will take them and stay up all night gambling. He has sleep walked and thinks he is totally awake and fine after he has taken them. HE is stubborn and resistant to admit he needs to change what he is doing if he wants different results. He thinks what he is doing is fine he just needs to find a better pill. He has the addict mentality of denying he has any problem with what he is doing, something or someone else is to blame. He has never learned to self soothe and relax by himself, so he is always looking for something to do it for him so he never improves his situation.
I believe Marijuana use is damaging to you physically (lungs and testosterone levels ) and emotionally(paranoia, quik to anger, irrational thoughts,denial and depression) and hurts your relationships with others.
The best thing is to never do it. It is addicting you may think that when you stop nothing happens but believe me the people around will tell you you are more irritable amongst other things. when my husband would quit he was awful for months. when he'd start again he'd be mellow then irritable but the longer he was on it he'd actually be less mellow, more lazy and very irritable. He has alot of talent and is very smart and good at alot of things when he would start a new business he would focus on that and do less pot and have alot of success then do more pot and his business would fail and he would repeat the pattern.

Thats horrible that your husband lets pot do these things to him. I smoke pot daily. Im trying to stop smoking it so much, but rather cook and eat it more often. There is a complete lack of evidence that pot has negative effects on users who eat it. Inhaling ANY kind of smoke is harmful. Thats a fact. But there is a mountain of evidence, taller than Everest, proving that THC, as well as the other 66 cannabinoids in cannabis, have numerous desirable effects on healthy people as well as the diseased. Im a 28 year old male and have the best sex when I'm stoned, smoked or eaten. I feel as though I can go for hours, sometimes blowing 2 or 3 nuts in one session. Its incredible. Im also in peak physical shape. I run 2 miles every morning, sometimes stoned, sometimes not. Makes no diff to me. I do MMA training 3 to 4 times a week. I cannot stress to you how much pot helps me focus on my MMA technique and form. I feel as thought my motions, as well as my opponents', are in slow-mo. Ive spared with training partners while high and they tell me they can see a difference. Its like being in a chess match. i feel that there is literally more time to think in-between motions. I also feel most close to my girl when Im high. She smokes as well, and we have the deepest most interesting conversations when we are both on pot. I don't share a bond like that with anyone else. Im also a premed undergrad in my sophomore year at college. I make good grades, current GPA 3.2, and go to every class stoned, except math classes. I suck at math, thank god Im done with all my maths. However, I have completed all entry level maths was well as pre-calculus 1 and 2, and Trig while smoking daily. I just made it a point to not go to math class stoned. It made my brain hurt. Im currently taking organic chem, Bio 335 (genetics), Eng102, and Physics 205. I can tell you that weed helps me understand the truly mind boggling worlds of chemistry and physics. In my earlier chem classes, when we started to go into quantum physics, thats some wild sh*t, but I truly believe that pot helped me grasp these fringe concepts. I also do my best writing on weed. It helps me convey my thoughts more fluently and with less filler. And i don't ever proof read a paper when sober. it just plain works best when on pot, no question about it. it has become routine. Being a med student, It goes without saying that I care about my body. I don't smoke cigs, or drink alcohol or cokes for that matter, pretty much water only, tea occasionally. iv removed almost all sugar from my diet. I eat lean meats and a limited amount of carbs. The only sugar I get is from my post workout shakes and my pot edibles (THC is soluble in fats and oils, and sugar goes well with these). My health is of utmost importance to me, and I would never do any drug that may jeopardize it. It just sounds to me that your husbands problems are brought on by his behavior, while stoned. That can be corrected. I wouldn't jump to blame the weed. It's not as if he's on bath salts and has not control over his thoughts or body. thats not how weed works. Its just a plant, it cannot MAKE you do anything. People must take responsibility for their own actions. It seems to me that its just the way he lets his life spiral around the weed. You must take control over your life during every waking moment. Its not something you can do for a few months and expect to see lasting changes. You gotta stay on top of your sh*t. Maybe weed just isn't for him, I know plenty of stoners just like your husband. i make it a point to stay away from them. It sounds as though you really love him, or you would have already left. I mean 5 years? Thats insanity. Have him read my post. Maybe he will get it. He either needs to change his perspective on life, or stop using pot. Its that simple. I truly hope this is of some help and that things work out in your favor. PS I wrote this entire response after 3 bong loads :)
