How bad is coffee for you?

I would avoid coffee (and caffeinated beverages) altogether simply because of the caffeine. You don't need it. Just as you should avoid any supplements that contain caffeine and caffeine derivatives (or drugs/stimulants) that are similar to it (e.g., guarana). Even decaf coffee has minimal amounts of caffeine in it (along with other chemicals).
Cut it out of your diet and stick to water and fresh squeezed juices (or frozen-blender fruit) juices, or at least all-natural juices to avoid the high-sugar content of most "juices" that are only 10-25% juice anyway. Once you cut it out, you'll feel much, much better after a while.

The only successful method I know of to wake yourself up in the mornings without drinking coffee, get a cold shower. That probably sounds rediculous but it really works. I'm wide awake as soon as I feel ice cold water on the back of my neck, seems to shock your senses to life or something like that.

True enough. I always shower cold in the morning, BUT I always do so after a really good PT (workout) session as well. Get up at 0430 every morning (a habit from years in the USMC), rain or shine, for PT. Then, cold shower. Point being, don't know your exercise regimen, but I find a session, at least for an hour or so, in the morning, also helps to really wake me up as well. Might give that a try too.

On The Brain:
-THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to organs throughout the body, including the brain.
-In the brain, THC connects to specific sites called cannabinoid receptors on nerve cells and influences the activity of those cells. Many cannabinoid receptors are found in the parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement. (seems like things important to boxing, No?)
-Short term memory loss, as well as problems learning anything.
On The Heart:
-One study has indicated that an abuser's risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana.
On The Lungs:
- Even infrequent abuse can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough.
-Marijuana abuse also has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because it contains irritants and carcinogens.
-Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which increases the lungs' exposure to carcinogenic smoke. These facts suggest that, puff for puff, smoking marijuana may be more harmful to the lungs than smoking tobacco.
I've had enough friends who dont reach their potential because of POT. Dont fall into that trap.
