Getting stoned and then being “too tired or hungry or lazy to run” is a discipline problem and not a drug issue btw. Just like anything relating to lifting, it takes willpower. You just have to use THAT much more willpower to fight yourself from sucumbing to the munchies and getting your butt out that door to run. But don’t blame it on the substance when it’s a discipline issue, unless the substance physically incapacitates you to the point where you physically can’t do the activity (it doesn’t), then no excuses.
All people on here I would have thought to know that already. Yes takes A LOT more discipline to go out and run after a session than just going out and running at any other point, but once you get yourself out the door and actually do the cardio, then you can see how exactly.
I don’t care what the responses to this are, fact is if you can’t get stoned and then go outside and do some serious gut wrenching cardio, you lack discipline, it’s very simple.
Also for people claiming it’s not effective even when you actually do it under the influence, I beg to differ. Yes I know that I am “tiny” in these pictures but I don’t think anyone can argue that my bodyfat is pretty low and there is muscle still there. I was doing “enhanced” HIIT 4-5x a week for several months and then took these. Not even ONCE was a cardio session done “sober” btw. Take it as you will

Post of the century! I can’t believe those pathetic people who don’t have the disicpline to get stoned and then go exercise. I guess only a select few can really take their training to the next level.

I agree that the negative effects of soft drugs like pot are usually overstated, but the idea that something is healthy because it is natural doesn’t hold much weight IMO. Many of the most toxic substances on the planet are 100% natural.[/quote]
Yep, like uranium. Snack on that sometime, get some real nice natural growth in the form of cancer cells. Lean mass that won’t go away no matter how hard you cut? Sign me up.
As to the subject of cannabis, if you enjoy your training more with it, fine, but it reduces long-term potentiation (neural adaptation), so if you lift and smoke, you’re seriously hurting your strength gains. Of course, you’ll be clumsy and inefficient from the get-go, so it’s not like you’d get those big weights up anyway.

No one ever said it increases gains, that’s nonsense. All it does is put you in a different state of mind during cardio which for some people, makes it substantially more enjoyable and actually feels good at points instead of pure pain (noticed this during HIIT).
Never said youa aren’t disciplined UNLESS you use it before (which is what you are claiming I said). I only said that claiming that drug makes you too lazy to do cardio is a discipline problem and not something to blame on the drug, it’s friggin pot it’s not LSD or something, yea it’s gonna make you lazy. But you people are all grown men, if you get stoned and have to do cardio but feel lazy, you do it anyway and you do it as hard as you would regardless. That’s the point I’m making.
I’ve been stoned for a month straight and I have no problems doing shit on bud. I actually get a lot more done because time feels like it’s moving slower and trivial things, like work, are a lot more amusing. Summer reading book? Fuck yeah! Calculus? Let’s do that bitch up. I also have a great mind-muscle connection stoned. And it’s the only thing that helps my back pain.

I know back when I was a golf pro, I would love going to the range stoned. sounds funny I know but I could just focus and blast the ball with my ipod on for hours, loved it. same with riding my bike. I since have stopped because of a job opportunity and the fact I cant afford to spend money on the cush no more. As with anything there is a limit, if your just a lazy stoner thats no good but if your in control of your life I don’t have a problem with it.

Truth. But I think an often forgotten important aspect of this question is just how much you are smoking. An single rip of the vaporizer gets me energized and dialed-in to run hills or bust out a session of deadlifts, but if I were to rip a fat gram through a bong, it would be a different story entirely.
