Marijuana

[Shibby]

I'm trying to figure out why you should be a part of this board...?

[AxHartford15]

Just forget it, it's not worth arguing over one bit.

[Shibby]

Sorry we didn't tell you what you wanted to hear.

[AxHartford15]

Nah man it has nothing to do with that at all. I mean I do it so rarely once a month was an extreme exageration its probably more like once every 3 months. It's not like I would be quitting a 3 year addiction or anything it would be more like stopping eating candy or something. I just had read stuff about marijuana in MD magazine and wanted to hear more because most of times in that magazine they show studies proving people wrong about it.

Sorry metal marty but I disagree with you. Ever hear of Mike Mentzer? He smoked cigs and ate whatever he wanted because he is a bodybuilder, not a health freak. And I happen to know tons of bodybuilders who used to do way more shit than the OCCASIONAL(once a month maybe) pot smoking. And I wont name names but there are top pro bodybuilders who are known to party pretty hard. Reading magazines will even tell you that.

I'm not trying to argue with you or bash you here, but my opinion is what it is. I know of all those things that the pros do; I read all that crap too. No doubt they still have great physiques, but they need to straighten their priorities if they think their behavior is commendable. And no disrespect to such a great bodybuilder as himself, but Mentzer is dead, and at a very young age. Any drug comes at a cost, and if you can control it that's great, but why bother if you can just totally prevent it from the start?

Allow me to end this disscussion: smoking weed once a month isnt bad for anyone. Not even one zillionth as bad as the car emmisions you inhale everyday. if youre training for a specific event, obviously you will want to cut out absolutly anything that could have adverse effects. And it is true that most of the weed stereotypes are grossly exagerated (thanks to the 'reefer madness' era) and in fact the health benefits are largely underestimated for the most part. Smoke your weed once a month, youll be fine. End of discussion. Everyones happy. Good day.

If you have to ask the question then your not truely devoted to body building. It's a lifestyle that involves discipline and sacrifice. You sound like the type that goes from doctor to doctor til they hear what they wanna hear. The fact that you felt you had to ask the question answers itself. Good luck

:rolleyes:Yea, because that once a month, won't turn into twice a month, three times a month... Now this guy is also asking about supplementing it if he got the answer he was looking for. Then I'm sure using it everyday won't cause any problems. You're about as dense for supporting the question as he was for asking it.

umm, theres no reason to assume that. i take a small puff of weed every once in awhile... maybe once every couple months and trust me, it doesnt feel NEARLY as bad as drinking alcohol. It all comes down to which substances are accepted by society and which arent. Imagine if caffiene was only introduced to society today. Everyone would be like 'hey have you heard of this new drug students and businessmen are taking so they can force themselves to work harder?". A rare puff of weed is as harmless as can be. Im not advocating it but its not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. and im not dense, mr. angrypants :baby:

[Shibby]

People are going to do counter productive things all the time. But we aren't going to go somewhere looking for acceptance of it. Espeacially if we are trying to take our bodies to the next level. This is, like most boards, a community of people who don't condone laziness or taking steps backwards. It would be against who we are if just sat back and said "don't worry about it, just have fun". Next thing you know we will see a post saying "Need help with 'this' and 'that'".

[AxHartford15]

I completely agree with both arguements that it IS a counterproductive thing to do and that it isn't as bad as people say it is. I was never at any point looking for an excuss to use it. If i want to I will, if I don't I won't. I have never been a regular user of any substance and I never was of pot. It was something I will maybe do from rare time to time. Anything in moderation isn't going to hurt you I dont need anyone to tell me that cause I know it already. I don't need anyone to give me an excuss. The ONLY thing I was searching for was facts, good and bad. As far as arguing I dont even consider it that because hearing both sides is what everyone needs.
