Marijuana ?

well, if it doesn't, are you suggesting that people who play sports are immune to the effects of marijuana?

i'm not sure i understand the question.

i dont see how it could enhance ones ability's...retard it maybe. i couldnt imagine doing anything physical while stoned. i can barely get the yard mowed....and i have a riding mower..how sad is that!

If I remember correctly he's not doing that great now tho. The drugs finnaly caught up with him =D.

Off course marijuana does affect people that play sports. But if you are a pro and you just got that need to get high from time to time... Smoking a little bit of weed like 2-3 times a year might be your safest bet.

Actually I think it's a pretty legitimate question. Just worded incorrectly. Does marijuana generally enhance or detract from the ability to play competitive sports?
 
Marijuana made time go slower for me so I'd use it for my advantage on the field/courts. lol
 
^ Yeah, I can't do physical sports (lol), but I've noticed that marijuana seems to "slow down time" when I'm playing video games that require quick reflexes and thinking on the fly.

Just wondered because I lived in the mountains and EVERY good mountain biker(most of all of the racers) high altitude runners, skiers, snowboarders and other very demanding sports have a huge amount of people that smoke. I knew the number 1 mountain biker and high altitude runner in the 90's and they smoked like a cigarette smoker, which makes no sense for a sport that is so demanding breathing wise, especially with the altitude.

Anyone heard if anyone has summited Mt Everest and smoked a J on top. I am a major mountain climber and I do on EVERY peak. It enhances the natural high of making it there like nothing else. Give is a try sometimes. Not only does alcohol affect you with less consumed in high altitudes, but so does smoking the herb.

smoking on top of mt everest would be pretty dumb. i mean, i've smoked on top of plenty of 14er's, but that really isn't a big deal.

smoking at 29k feet would be a whole different bag of chips. i bet some of those sherpas could handle it. but, you would have to be a complete jackass to try and smoke on top of that mountain because the descent is the most dangerous part of the trip. plus, you don't really want to take your gloves off on top of that mountain so it'd be a bitch to even attempt to smoke.

i might save a celebritory bowl for camp 2 or so, but that mountain, and many others, are serious bizness.

Ricky Williams' career tanked after the NFL forced him to stop smoking weed. In fact, he retired because of it. Dude has social anxiety disorder and a slew of other neuroses and damnit my Dolphins haven't been relevant since Clinton.

I feel your pain, brother. I fucking hate being a Dolphins fan, and the guys we have now are the exact opposite of The Heat. The Heat is full of loyal guys who are really likeable (if you can get over "The Decision" we can all go back to remembering that LeBron is a very likeable person compared to most superstar athletes) while the Dolphins Management is full of egotistical douchebags. I'm still a fan, but I feel like we are headed Oakland way sometimes.

I have smoked on 14er's and an 18er and EVERY time it was mind blowing. I wonder why it wasn't for you. Do you have strong lungs?

All the high altitude sport people I know also say it is mindblowing so maybe it is different for different people. Most of them has 0% body fat and could pass a drug test the next day after smoking a ton.
 
Smoking weed does nothing to hamper an athletes physical performance as long as you arent high when youre playing, obviously. Tim Lincecum, Ricky Williams, Santonio Holmes, all great athletes, all smoke weed. Im sure there are 100s of pro athletes that smoke that we dont know about.

Now if someone smokes weed all day every day i can see them getting lazy, most things in excess will have a negative effect. Pot can be beneficial to people that use it to unwind after a hard days work.

Personally, I love smoking a bowl after a good workout in the gym.

EDIT: And yea, Michael Phelps is the perfect example of a pot smoking loser that never accomplished anything in life.... oh wait.

i play street basketball almost everyday, either practicing or pick up games. i play no matter what drug i'm on pretty much.

i found weed has a negative impact on my game, you need to be on point to play basketball.
opiates clear my mind which helps but slow me down slightly which doesn't.
dxm makes it more fun to play ball but has a slight negative impact on my game. it probably hinders my game less than any other drug (high first/low second plateau and i've been doing dxm for 12 years which probably makes a difference.
alcohol ruins my game, i can't do shit on the court drunk,
stimulants, i don't fuck with because i'd probably have a heart attack running up and down the court. i pretty much don't do anything physical on stimulants.
lsd and other serotonin based psychedelics make basketball too confusing.

but to answer your question, as someone who plays sports on a regular basis, weed hurts my game.
 
All the mountain bikers, high altitude runners, skiers and snowboarders all did it before they competed. It seemed weird to me and that is why I asked because my experience, besides my experiences when summiting a 14teener has been the same.

I find Treezy z's answer about basketball kind of wierd because I thought almost everyone tht plays basketball smoke's before playing. I know when I did I smoked and I thought it made me better, but again maybe it was just that I thought it made me better. It cwertainly seems like you can fly like Jordan. LOL
 
I honestly can't think of any sport where marijuana would be considered performance enhancing. At a stretch something like putting in golf or snooker do require a calm mindset but there are far better alternatives such as beta blockers for that effect.

I have completely destroyed all comers on a billiards table one night on acid. It wasn't really fair though, all I had to do was line up the hundreds of vectors that were scattered across the balls and table. My opponents didn't stand a chance. ;)
