This may be a dumb ? but I was wondering if smoking weed occasionally, maybe 1-2 times a week would slow down muscle growth for a younger person? Thanks

best answer is get off the drugs. What do you have to gain from being high?? Also think what you have to loose a whole lot.!!!

Mikes right. It won't help your fitness goals but you gotta decide for yourself

why don't you stop now and start training physically. The tests you have to take are very demanding, and having a bong in one hand while you're climbing stairs with that heavy hose on your shoulders will not help.

some of that crap can take 6 months to a year....to compltely get out of your system besides being a waste of money, not good for you and illegal I see no reason to do it.

Good to get off it, mainly for motivational purposes. But I swear I saw Arnie puffing one down in the Pumping Iron movie :) Then again, he was probably taking down a lot more than that...

As far as muscle growth though, I don't see why it would be a problem. Certainly not as much as alcohol, yet that is legal.
