This is due to the manner in which it is smoked and the chemical compounds in the smoke. Psychologically, that's a different story. At the very least, it probably doesn't help. This topic has been discussed previously. Try searching the fitbuddy at the bottom of the page. Try 'marijuana' or 'drug use'.

Though pot is not labled as a "bad" illicit drug, it is just that, ILLICIT. There are MANY side effects and addictive tendencies associated with pot use though many of the users do not realize them right away. FITNESS does not equal POT and vice-versa. Hey, we all do crappy things to our bodies, so I'm not singling out pot as such a terrible drug. Its terrible in the sense that many people abuse it without really knowing how much it effects there health in such an adverse way. I drink occasionally, but I shouldn't...not for moral reasons, but for health reasons. I smoked pot for years and some may call me a hipocrit for speaking against it, but I will stand by my research and professional role as a former drug and alcohol counselor when I say it just doesn't pay. If you can spend money on weed, imagine if you put that money towards protein, ZMA, glutamine and creatine. -------------- Baseball is wrong: Man with four balls cannot walk. Jdelts@freetrainers.com

It created a lifestyle that was not healthy and I wasted a lot of my life on it. If you are serious about fitness, drugs don't fit in. Burning anything and inhaling it is bad for you. Just my 2cents. -------------- "To be able to go to the gym and train hard is a joy and a privelege, even though the hard work necessitates driving yourself through considerable discomfort.
