Drinking....no

[Mr. Smith]

I have read numerous posts of members asking questions about drinking on cycle. I personally don't drink just because I don't find it a good time. I drank every night for 5 years while in the USMC. I think that is enough money towards alcohol for a good while.

My question is for a friend who mistakenly thinks I am a guru (diet and nutrition....yes AS no). He said that alot of his college buddies like to "smoke weed" once and a while and was wondering aside from the normal crap that affects people who do this would it hurt him while on cycle.

I told him that mixing any drugs is not a good thing and that the way he eats when he does this it will be hard to keep a clean diet.

I have read that studies indicated that weed decreases test production and increased estrogen. I believe alcohol does the same. So, all of the "cool" guy things to do, makes you a girl in the end.

One benefit if someone is trying to put on weight is it slowers meatolbims, but what most don't understand is that when you slow metabolism, protien and carbs are not used efficiently.

alcohol is really bad on cycle... one drink can dramatically reduce test. levels in the body. It's completely counterproductive. It's espically dangerous if you are using and kind of oral AS. I wouldn't wanna put that kind of stress on the liver.

Very counterproductive and yes, weed does increase estrogen levels.

the key is moderation. i like to have a beer or two every now and then while on cycle. youve got a set a limit. having 2 beers a day in the evening while watching tv isnt gonna hurt you at all. getting totally drunk every week isnt good for you whether your on cycle or not.

and weed isnt that bad for you, if you get pure weed. the problem is you never know if the guy you bought it from laced it with something like herione, or extasy, or whatever. unless you grow it yourself, i would highly recomend staying away from weed.


if you want to have a 2-3 beers every so often, go ahead and dont worry about it. if you want to get piss drunk, or get high all the time, then you need to think about your priorities.

nah i wouldnt risk it, well not anymore. If your goal is to put on weight and be dedicated, I wouldnt. Ive done it on the past, leanred the hard way after i got a beer belly. Also, waking up the next day hungover and late when u could have eating some big meals.

IMO , its best to drink after the cycle. Not only that but drinking during the cycle, puts more stress on the liver.:)

I think going out for two beers one a week is perfectly ok...unless you're running Anadrol or something. But habitual drinking, or even infrequent binge drinking, are definate no-no's

i smoke weed all the time... no problems here.

I have never heard of anyone buying weed laced with heroin or any of the others.... that stuff cost money adn there not just going to throw it in ontop of weed.

I know that drinking on cycle is bad but my question is the occasional smoking of weed. My friend knows from me not to drink I just have no idea what the impacted of smoking weed would have on him. I can't answer that for him.

I smoke on the weekends usually. But lxorl that is not totally true I once got weed that was laced with angel dust and let me tell you it was not cool. Not a fun thing when your not expecting it.

thats just what ive been told by my Criminal justice instructors at school. Theyve had confiscated weed they sent to a lab for analyisis and it came back with other drugs laced to it. Its a ploy by drug dealers to get repeat buisiness with other products.


but weed itself, nothing really wrong with that imo, lol. unless some ugly fat chick takes advantage of you while your daydreaming.

[Rictor33]

lol not every weed dealer is pushing other drugs too, alot of people who smoke only weed won't touch harder drugs. Also alot of better drug dealers won't waste their time with weed unless it's to other distributers (weight). Most weed dealers you will meet just sell it so they can smoke for free. Anyway smoking weed really isn't that bad, it increases your appetite which on-cycle cannot be bad at all and all the studies saying it causes gyno and raises estrogen levels and shit are bunk and unproven. Smoking too much however would be stupid because your motivation takes a hit.

wow I think some of us here are protective of "Our Weed". I have seen what just smoking weed can do, and it aint pretty over time for sure. Not to mention how dumb your ass will get, slowly but surely. I know all the smokers here are going say that it is wrong, but hey.... ALL ADDICTS THINK WEED IS FINE. Nuff said :) :) :)

There you have it. and this is the bottom line. Staying smart= training and continuously building muscle smart

Every drug has potential benefits and potential dangers. Steroids are one example. Light drinking has been found to be good for the heart. Heart problems are a possibility with long-term steroid use.

In Los Angeles and Hawaii huge numbers of bodybuilders partake in small quantities of weed, alcohol, whatever, with minimal results good or bad.

In Bob Paris's book, he writes that he smoked weed every single day for years right up to the day he won the Mr. Universe.
