i have never, not once, woken up after smoking and thought "that was a good rest", i always feel shattered and groggy, even if i've had 10 hours sleep

 

Imagine my laughter when people on here continuously try to tell me weed isn't a PED whilst fighters are promoting its performance enhancing properties at press conferences and endurance athletes swear by it lol. Increases endurance, aids muscle and bone recovery and decreases sensitivity to pain. Weed is a PED made for boxing and combat sports.

 

VADA tests for THC

UFC doesnt test for anything unless you are in the blackbook

 

When I’m high I can’t even go out to the kitchen, I doubt it would help anyone in a 12 round boxing match.

Weed makes you slow, and you fill up your lung with smoke

I would rather take cocaine

 

I have a hard time reconciling getting high with improved performances in anything other than maybe music or writing or such. The CBD thing, could be though..plenty of medical research has been done on its benefits for epilepsy, diabetes etc... But actual weed usage, considering that it has very low amounts of CBD compared with THC...not likely.

 

As long as you're not high in the ring, I don't see a problem. Marijuana a PED though? Laughable. You might as well start calling alcohol, coffee and cigarettes PEDs too then.

 

If anything Marijuana inhibits productivity and performance, I know some people don't have this effect but the vast majority of people that I smoked with have a significantly more difficult time doing anything that requires more effort, especially physically exerting tasks.

 

As a one time stoner, smoking the THC part of the plant, I find it hard to believe it could really benefit a fighter. 2 hours to build up the motivation to take a **** seems like the antithesis of what a boxer needs. My mate has started selling CBD however and his MMA gym are lapping it up as they all say the results are astonishing in a recovery situation. Massive antiinflammatory which is what a fighter (and most people) have severe problems with on the day to day. Heck there area host of respectable (yet outside the pharmaceutical system) doctors that believe chronic inflammation is the number one cause for most ailments.

 

Marijuana use will cause an increase in traffic accidents.

 

This.

In Europe we can’t believe how it became LEGAL in the States. Anyone who ever tried weed knows when you’re high your reflexes and thinking is low.

This man would do anything just to get his attention

 

Unfortunately for chronic users there are a lot of negative side effects.

 

Alot of people are doing this quit hating. Last year I gave this homeless dude $50 he was so happy.

 

Yes but you don’t have to record it and show it on your social media accounts.

I gave money too, that’s absolutely normal you don’t have to be proud of that.

 

So happy he…?
