Marijuana is not a drug!
Saget says so!

I seen him! lol

I am Aussie, i like a beer, never ever tried any drugs including Weed, i just dont see the need or the point, i have friends who do it, too me with them just sitting around smirking and laughing it looks like a shitty way too spend a weekend, alcohol though you have jokes, you get out and dance have a good laugh.

So i guess watching my friends ruin / maybe not ruin there lives with weed puts me off it

I honestly really enjoyed reading everyones comments here especially Dents. I smoked weed when I was young but stopped. I also used to smoke cigarettes which I quit a little over a year ago. Those things really do hold back an athletes body. I'm actually really thankful I stopped smoking weed because it does, for me anyway, somewhat cloud the mind. Although it is "non-addicting" I actually believe that it is addicting from personal experience. Not in a crackhead type way but you can become dependable on it. And I believe we should try to break ourselves away from dependencies.

But in all seriousness, quitting smoking cigarettes was the best thing I did. I ran about 7:00 miles while smoking. Once I quit, I ran 7:15!! (Go figure) and then went down from there. I run about 6:30 min miles now and feel so much better doing it. It was difficult at first because of all the years of gunk built up in my lungs I spat out, esp at jiu-jitsu practice. But I am very thankful to be non-dependent on any substance.

I do drink occasionally in moderation. And if you do smoke weed, I don't have a problem with it just not around me. And I would also encourage moderate use, not overdoing anything in life. Because as I have learned the hard way a few times, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

Good post!

depending on what your smoke/vape, your character, and your situation it can actually help

I would smoke before grappling class as sober I'm all over the place, smoking helps me to concentrate and restrain myself

vaping before a workout should increase your capacity to take in oxygen, and there's some very interesting studies showing pot facilitates "flow" aka "being in the zone". some interesting stuff about it was posted some time ago on the roganboard.

all you can really say is the choice of using cannabis or not is very personal, you can't just make a blanket statement, people can have completely different experiences with it, which may aid or impair then in certain situations

consider this: eddy bravo put his while 10th planet system together while being as high as he could get (then again eddie bravo also is kind of a high energy all over the place guy)

I think this kind of summarizes the situation in a very nice way, not all drugs are for all people. Defenitely not, and not for all situations, and not necesarily bad always. Each thing has its positive and negative sides and for some it might be positive! But I think you should add that there is an alternative and it is not to use too

LONG LIVE THE GANJA!
and saget is a smart dude...
we should all take his advice...
