    Is it possible to be in good athletic shape specifically good breathing and cardio. Not like the psychological effects but like smoking.

    If you smoke often you will notice the impact on your cardio performance, but it shouldn't effect your weight training. But you can definitely still be athletically fit and smoke. I would suggest you try to switch to vaping though if you smoke often and if you compete then definitely either smoke occasionally or switch to vaping because you will notice the difference

    It's weird though because I know people that smoke maybe like 3 grams a week are still really athletic

    well the answer is NO obviously..because the DEA said so, so there, and stop pointing out people like this guy...

    he is a bad example of an athlete because he used pot to enhance his career unpaid sports hobby...
     
    unlike these guys who are upstanding athletes...who only used what gawd gave them to make millions a year...never using 'anything illegal'...

    Ive smoked around a gram a day for almost three years. I do cardio every day, I can run or bike farther than I ever could before, and my lungs function even better when I vape

    Yea i run track and cross country plus mountain biking when I can. Cardio is good for you especially if you smoke.


    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.

    I smoke regularly and can still run around 3 miles at a pretty good pace. Haven't timed it or anything but I haven't noticed any reduced lung capacity. My biggest problem with weed and fitness is eating way too much when i'm stoned and regretting it later  :laughing:

    Ask michael beasley. He's been busted with weed 4 times in his nba carreer and he's still playing as good as ever for the heat. The last time he got busted in 2013 was part of the reason the suns traded him. Also obviously michael phelps. Ir you can still win gold baked that should tell you something.

    So yes you can be athletic and smoke weed. I ball it up on people blitzed out of my mind all the time and like some other dude said i skateboard too. It's the cigs that ruin you. Not talent-wise but your endurance and stamina will go down the tubes.

    Dude think about the amount of skaters that smoke weed, that are pro, like the whole baker team smoke and they are pros, you'll be grand
    Also vape it and it won't be as hard on your lungs

    I know a few body builders too that started smoking after they workout just so they can down a crazy amount of food
    Never heard a health complaint about it, and breathing is a huge part of every exercise

    I do hardcore training for football. Lots of running and weight lifting. Im one of the fastest guys on my team. And smoking before weight lifting is great

    No, it is not possible to smoke weed and still be athletic. That is why Michael Phelps had such limited success.

    Almost every player in the NBA and NFL smoke

    Well if you smoke everyday or often, yeah it will take a toll on your lungs, body etc. smoking anything will effect your cardio.

    So if your a "serious" athlete (like making a future out of it) I would just advise not getting use to smoking bud for obvious reasons like constant drug tests.
