  1. Seriously curious about this one, have any of you used cannabis to boost athletic performance or for recovery? If so let me know in a comment, want to hear the good and the bad!!

  2. When I smoke, I like to connect with my body. Focusing on mind muscle connection. I might do some shadow boxing. Going to the gym, I get crazy pumps and really focus on the squeeze.

    I’ve got an anatomy background and I genuinely feel like I’ve learnt more about my body using marijuana.

    When I smoke I have a zoot in the evening after doing what I need to be done. Don’t abuse it. More research will be coming out in next 5-10 years as more states legalise.

    Take care, stay healthy and stay ambitious.

  3. First off I've been smoking weed like a chimney for 8 years and the doc even says my lungs are in great shape, tobacco would be more worthy of lung damage, or if you want something that will cause blood in the lungs try smoking heroine. Second I drank rum, smoked and vaped weed at the same time at a wedding reception once and I was running up and down the stairs repeatedly and really fast so don't tell me weed effects your ability to run. Third I do prefer to stay sober when I ski then smoke afterwards, and speashal Olympics says I'm 1 of the best and fastest on the team and this is after 8 years "FOGGING" "UP" "MY" "BRAIN".

  4. I'm a 19 year old basketball player on a D3 college team, and while I am not a super high level athlete, I do find using marijuana helps me with multiple things. I have a lot of knee, and tendon pain from lots of jumping during practice, and when I smoke afterward, it almost completely takes away those pains, and reduces swelling, along with cbd topicals. This helps me feel better about not taking rest days, and helps me get good sleep to recuperate. I know certain people that like to smoke before playing ball, however I find, even with a tolerance to the effects of THC, it still tends to slow me down. On the contrary, I have many times smoked before just shooting around, and I have found that I can get into a very interesting flow state with my shot, and handling. Like Nick said in the video, it can help you feel all of your muscles independently, and you can use that to your advantage in practice. All in all, smoking for recovery and practice can be good for basketball, however, being high in game is a very bad idea for the average player.

  5. Hey there, We're looking for some cannabis users to take part in an online cross-sectional study examining cannabis use patterns and exercise habits and their effects on the brain. An added incentive is that we're giving away a £50£€ gift card to one lucky participant in a random prize draw. Link to study: @t
