MoDS I want sure this was better suited for the fitness drug crowd of PED or the biochemical crowd of neuro and pharm. Feel free to move after a week if not much responses here.
My use involves edible only cannabis daily (smoked for 20 years tho previously). 1 or 2 mg of alprazolam maybe 2 or 3 days out of the week and maybe 2 40 mg doses of hydrocodone in the week amd 2 to 5 mg maintenance dose daily during non high dose days (yes I'm dependent of 2 to 5 mg a day)
About a year ago I began lap swimming for about 45 min to an hour per day 6 days a week.
Aside from the obvious negstive effects of being hungover from these drugs while training..and the few positives (weed put me in a motivational mindfrsme where I tend to push the work out much harder.
The benzos are the only ones that really make the next day of training lethargic and harder. The opiate to a much smaller extent gives a hangover. But feel I perform better while high on pot than off it.
To conclude/ I'm putting in a lot of work over the past year and seen some gains in conditioning and 15 lb weight loss. However I'm wondering up much these drugs I do are really holding me back and progressing in my training.
Cannabis raises heart rates ..opis lower T levels. Benzos I have no idea. But to what extent at my use are levels in these drug use hurting my ability to progress as a swimmer because I want to get into competitive clubs.
I'm looking for input mostly from mechanistic biochemical standput of how the drug impedes performance
