How does marijuana effect being /fit/?

I've been a pothead my whole life. Exercising while high feels incredible.

The only downside is it can induce an unhealthy relationship with food. The munchies are a very real thing.

Marijauna is great. I never understand the hangups this board has about it.

You can even use marijauna before lifting I find it helps with breathing and focus (though it should be vaped or eaten, not smoked, before a workout, IMHO)

Also - anything that helps you keep your hands off booze is A-OK in my book.

I find I often don't get hungry unless I smoke. This actually can help with appetite control - just wait to smoke until you need to eat.. And like anything else - you must control your portions and what you eating. I never munch out on junk though always lean proteins, whole grains, and unprocessed cheeses, etc.

I only lift while high - I can't do cardio or swim laps or anything. Just super heavy controlled lifting.

This. Weed just seems to unlock a never ending stomach for me... odd how it works. I struggle to deal with the 'come down' after the high though, so i'm trying to leave it for before bed.

I've often wondered whether heavy marijuana use has an effect on the endocrine system in any way. We assume weed is weed, but it passes through many hands, and if it is indeed a cash crop, then it has likely been treated with or grown with the aid of chemicals of some kind. In plain words, I think weed alters blood hormone levels in a way, either by hindering conversion of free testosterone or temporarily stunting its production. I have not put in the time to research this hunch.

Careful, there have been multiple reputable sources that have found links between marijuana and reduction of REM sleep

it's a catabolic drug

Negatively in my experience. Weed makes me procrastinate, eat shit food, skip workouts, and makes me just become an overall lazy and unfocused piece of shit. Maybe some people can handle it but I just can't, it's all or nothing for me. If I've got weed at home I smoke, and if I smoke I forget all about everything else.

This makes sense bc when I smoke a lot I don't dream

>>41869335
This is due to thc which should be mostly gone or at least not effecting you after a few hours.

I can still dream even if I smoke excessive amounts before sleep, but that's due to an SSNRI that makes me dream every single night vividly.

Scooby agrees with this

>>41869398
I smoke right before rest days so it doesn't affect my routine

You are smoking indica strains. If you are willing to reconsider try a sativa strain, it has a more buzzy high and lacks the "couch-lock" effect

I can attest to this, buddy works at Starbucks and brought 7 sandwiches they had left over in the freezer.

At every single one, a bag of hot cheetos, bag of trail mix, two arizonas, and 4 snowballs.
All in about 2 hours.
Entire week of diet gone in 2 fucking hours.
