Being a pothead vs being obese: which is a healthier lifestyle ?

Discussion in 'Cannabis Consumption Q&A & Tips' started by stewart452, Aug 29, 2012.

  1. yo whats up blades my dad just did some asshole shyt by giving me some anti marijuana articles out of nowhere fucking up my high and what not. I didn't argue or anything, but i was thinking i should give him some articles about him being obese so i was wondering if anyone here had any info concerning weed smoking vs being obese healthc wise i think it would be a great topic for my dad.

    I've already googled but didn't find too much i would think there would be some comparaisons or something online......
     
  2. Find Granny Storm Crow!!
     
  3. Normal pot smoker: No health problems
    Normal obese person: Many health problems
    I can run long distances my obese friends cannot hmmmm which one is more healthy lol
    sorry i dont know of any articles that may help but if you find any post em id like to see them
     
  4. Post your dad's articles so we can counter them.

    Not being able to run long distances isn't a health problem. It's just being out of shape. You can be fat and still be healthy, just sayin.
     

  6. I don't think you can be fat and healthy. You can be chubby and healthy but being fat is a medical problem that needs fixing.

    Humans are built to run long distances so everybody should be able to. And if they can't they are probably out of shape.
     
  8. Um besides the fact that being fat can cause diabetes, heart problems, lung problems(fat squeezes lungs), and can pretty much fuck up your entire body.
     
  9. I know for fact that being a stoner is safer than being obese. Being obese literally stresses every single one of your body systems
     
  10. Nope, you can't. You can be fat and be healthier than a skinny guy, sure... but you're still not healthy.

    I mean I'm 5'6" but just because I'm taller than Asians that doesn't make me tall.

    A pothead and obese are such open terms. A pothead could eat nothing but cheetohs and mountain dew, in which case he might be less healthy than the obese guy whose been on a diet eating veggies and free range meats for a couple months.

    Generally speaking though, if you're a reasonable weight, and you smoke weed, you're probably healthier than the average obese person.

    That's speaking generally though, he's jumping to the extreme side of both spectrums, there's unhealthiness in both. But saying one is better than the other is a child's argument and explains why OP is still living with dad. It's his dad's house and his dad's rules. He should respect that. If his dad doesn't want him doing it, he should not let it be known or move out.
     

  12. Exactly it's like this:

    Now which one of these is better at being a banana?
     
  13. I agree, but obese people really have no place in telling other people that their lifestyles are unhealthy.

    True, neither do heavy pot smokers either, by that argument. Inhaling alot of smoke will tend to do damage to the lungs and pot raises heart rate, either one of those are unhealthy. Not to mention marijuana is still illegal. I say just drop it OP and just respect your dad is cool enough to know you smoke and let you live with him, even if he gives you shit about it.
     
  15. Pothead cause ibsmoke bud everyday and have not told my doctor and he says I'm extremely healthy. I exercise everyday and eat correctly.
     
  16. Just saying, you can help the fact that you smoke weed he probably can't help that he is overweight. It would be a lot harder for him to stop being overweight than it would be for you to stop smoking. Him giving you those articles, in his eyes, is to help you out. You giving him those articles would just be spiteful and rude.
     
  17. so i'm guessing your dad is obese? i'd just get articles disproved negative effects of weed and show them those, no reason to show stuff about obesity...
     
  18. im a fat pothead :eek:
     
  19. [quote name='"bigjmorris"']im a fat pothead :eek:[/quote]

    I'm a skinny pothead :smoke:

    Yah I wouldn't suggest showing him any articles on obesity, smoking weed is a lifestyle choice. I'm guessing he was born fat and it's probably something he's very concerned about and has a tough time getting rid of
     
  20. I contribute pot to me being skinny, back in high school I used the "munchies" as an excuse to pound some burgers, sure they tasted amazing. But now my high is so much cleaner and longer lasting with a healthy diet, and consistent exercise regime. :bongin:
