Weed?

[SquareCircle]

Especially considering one joint equates to four cigarettes.

stop spouting bull****. one joint is not equal to four cigarettes, cigs contain all kinds of ****ed up chemicals that's just senseless bull**** that tobacco companies advertised so people will smoke cigs instead of weed. And before you say you didn't see it on a pack of smokes, save it, because even if the government issued that statement, I'll tell you why, there's only 1 ****ing reason why they'd issue that bull**** statement and that's because a lobbyist from marlboro or etc wrote a check for millions of dollars to the guy in the government who makes the decision on what to state about health problems related to drugs publicly. and thats how it works, sorry to break it to you but that's total bull****.

btw weed is my biggest vice. i actually smoked a blunt of some high grade the day i taped myself sparring...I didn't smoke often then though..lately, the past few days, my smoking has picked up...Now I'm a depressed mother****er because on top of all that real life **** i have going on im sure some of you know about, i have a hand injury on my right, not really an injury but I cannot fist my pinky. ive been hiding it from my coach the whole time ive been training there...my coach took 1 look at my right hand on wednesday and told me they wouldnt let me fight and not only that, I shouldn't fight if I care about my hand.so i stopped boxing. on the paper you sign to become an amateur boxer it says your hands must be injury free in order for you to fight. i told him id just tape it nobody would know but he insisted my hands would be inspected, i didnt feel like arguing so i said **** it. oh yeah and my girlfriend dumped me today because i told her i wouldnt quit my best friend's business that me and him run to become a douche car salesman. I just dont want that title 'car salesman' **** that.. its all good though, laters

Hold in there Square, a hand can recover and in the meantime this is a good time to concentrate on cardio. Use this time productively for boxing to lose weight and increase your stamina. It all seems pretty negative right now but you're too focused on the now and not the future.

smoking weed occassionaly like once a week will not effect your reflexes permanantly...(only effects when your high) and as for stamina its not a problem at all if u don't do it much. It might lower it the tiniest amount but u either gas out or u dont if u have good stamina smoking alittle bit of weed won't make u gas out in ur fights. I'm about to start boxing and i'll have to cut down quite a bit but ive been smoking weed pretty much everyday and doing cardio and my stamina is getting better although my gains are minimized by the weed.

well, since i know people who have worked in the medical fields, i've read a little about pro-marijuana studies, believe in or not, in medical journals.

for example, one article mentioned mj as the best alternative to aspirin for a headache.

mj has many benificial qualities. however, these are probably reduced by smoking too much daily as well as smoking blunts. personally, i don't know why people choose to smoke blunts. i guess it's the old "follow the heard" addage.

anyways, in studies i've read, one or two hits will likely improve your reaction time. this information was obtained from a test i had read about comparing the effects of thc on reaction time in varied amounts. the test used a driving simulation and found that small amounts of thc actually increased the reaction time in drivers as opposed to people who had used larger amounts or none at all.

another thing people should know, high quality weed as opposed to tobacco will not cause any type of lung disease. mj is a completely different thing. example, tobacco actually supresses the lungs and the ability to cough, however, mj does not. furthermore, mj, if baggaged properly, will be 90% bud and only having 10% leaves per portion of total plant matter. tobacco, however, is nearly 100% leaf matter with a small fraction of additives(such as raisin extract which acts as a freshness preservitive).

i sincerely doubt that mj would have any major debilitating effects on any type of athletic activity. i do speak from experience as well.

btw, has anyone here heard of the new study which claims that mj has an extremely positive effect on Alzheimer’s:

Dude you seriously need calm down a little. Reign in the anger. I'd lay money on you either being a person repulsed by cigarettes but smokes weed (as you said), or just a straight ex-burnout.. I was going off of what I've read, heard, and deduced. I had no idea your amazing boxing prowess was also accompanied by a brillant grasp of the agro-political climate of the past 20 years as it pertains to tobacco. Given that you do have this knowledge, though, my bad. I withdraw my equation; apologies. However, I notice that you didn't negate the fact that marijuana messes with your lungs and abilities (braincells primarily, ALL hallucinogens, sorry to break it to YOU).
It is simply fact that weed can have adverse effects. By the way, "the guy in the government who makes the decision on what to state about health problems related to drugs publicly," thats called the Surgeon General (et. al). That individuals' bank accounts are monitored by governement officials to prevent the acceptance of bribes. Millions of dollars is a considerable bribe, so I believe what you meant to say was "A lobbyist used money for a campaign to influence what facts were made public." Your use of language and punctuation is amazing.

Simple fact - Weed is bad for your health, it will impair your abilities. Period.

Good post. As for speeding up reaction times u are correct. It also turned them into more careful drivers. Some reachers suggest this was a result of them knowing they were under the influence of a drug, so thereful tooK extra care and put more effort into focusing resulting in faster reaction times too. Was it the Ganja that turned them into good drivers, or the extra care taken by the drivers knowing they were under ther influence of a drug?

The research continues.

Before u harvest bud am speaking about a crop grown indoors, u are supposed to flush, what i mean by this is to flush it with pure water for two weeks to remove all the fertilizer and chemicals out of the plant. No commercial grower will flush as it slows down the growth rate of the plant, u need to get the stuff up and down ASAP.They dont care if ur smoking chemicals.They care about making cash. Another thing make sure ur bud is cured and dried correctly, if it still contains chlorophyll went ur blazing its hard on ur liver.

The only way to ensure ur smoking weed is less harmfull them ciggerets is to grow it in organic soil without folage feeding it. However growing like this takes longer for the buds to mature and is usually grown for personal use. The stuff ur smoking is most likey not organic, but still full of chemicals and acid.

Also to do a simple test, when u have a toke can u hear the spliff crackling or making that noise(ul know what i mean if u have smoked weed for a long time) Thats the sound of fertilizer burning!

I am not recommending u to now go and smoke organic weed. I smoked several spliffs a day for 6 years and stopping was the best thing i ever did. I aint preaching to stop u smoking thats ur business.

I do agree with the statment u made about the government. They are full of ****, they dont care about ur heath 1 bit. Oh u dont believe me? Why becasue the media said they do. Open ur eyes.

Ya'll must be kidding.

Grown ass men cant quit weed? Weed is so ****ing juvenile. I was fully done with weed by grade 10. Tried it all done it all, and havent done any in years.

Maybe its different in America but I was way past dope by 16. It just got so damn borring...Same with drinking...done so much it just got simply borring. Thats when I took up working out, boxing, reading books and playing guitar.


If you said you cant quit meth I hear ya, but weed? Grown ass man smoking weed and not being able to control it? Sad **** sorry...but thats just sad.

dont get me wrong, with highgrade or anygrade really, i prefer a good double blown glass piece or bong...

but nothin beats a blunt if you're smoking in a vehicle...if you disagree buy a kingpin maple syrup bluntwrap and roll a fatty..you'll be converted
