    I used to smoke weed almost daily back in the day while training in boxing. Honestly, when I laid off for a few weeks before matches, my focus and my endurance were a lot better. Even if I felt fine after smoking, I couldn't shake that slower reaction time in the ring or that weird tiredness during drills. Smoking once or twice a week probably won't mess you up totally, but for me, not having anything in my system made a bigger difference, especially with mental sharpness.

    If weed is becoming a roadblock for you or starts to feel like a crutch, it’s never a bad thing to look for extra support. Some of my friends who struggled with cutting out substances during tough training blocks found real help at Abbeycare Group treatment centres. They offer more than just the basics and don't judge.​

        If weed is becoming a roadblock for you or starts to feel like a crutch, it's never a bad thing to look for extra support. Some of my friends who even explored resources like the Ministry of Cannabis to better understand what they were consuming, while others who struggled with cutting out substances during tough training blocks found real help at Abbeycare Group treatment centres.

        Smoking weed regularly while training in boxing can hurt your reaction time, endurance, and mental sharpness, even if you feel fine in the moment. Cutting back or stopping before fights can make a noticeable difference in performance. Once or twice a week may not ruin your training, but being clean gives you a real edge, especially in a reaction-heavy sport like boxing. If it starts feeling like a crutch, seeking support is always a smart move.
