It can’t help you athletically, but it might hurt you.

Yeah. There’s no way that it would be helpful. It’s probably not particularly harmful if it’s not frequent. I beleive that it’s common among professional athletes in different sports to varying degrees. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s not some relatively heavy users in pro sports that could be better than they are if they smoked less or not at all. [/quote]

I feel it is not only common among athletes, I feel it is just pretty common.

3) Marijuana isn’t even smoked anymore. Now it’s always laced with other drugs. Making if WORSE for you. Unless your getting it yourself you don’t know what they are lacing it with if you just buy it. It can always be laced and then be “chronic”. And perhaps that was an over-exaggeration that marijuana isn’t even smoked anymore. BUT seriosuly a lot of the times now it’s laced.

If you legalized it The F.D.A. could regulate it and make sure it was only marijuana you were buying , or you could grow your own.

Keep in mind marijuana was made illegal because William Randolph Hearst hated Mexicans and feared hemp paper would hurt his paper business. He started demonizing commericals about the ‘Devil’s Weed’ and some people still hold on to that legacy. It is bullshit though. The government is usually not the best source of advice.[/quote]

I never heard that one . Is it true?

Wow, a thread popping up from 10 months ago. Someone was bored.

Right at the end of the summer I started drinking and partying alot, and all of a sudden my performance, strength, and other things like memory went to shit. Weed doesn’t do much but kill brain cells, so you’ll forget things and become slower reactively, as well as slightly stupid. So I guess if the short high is worth hindering performance as well as other things like your HEALTH, thnrole afckn joyntup and hitdat sht motafcka.
