[MEGA] Cannabis and Exercise

chuck_norris said:
Anyone heard of cannabinoid reintoxication? Because THC is fat soluble, it's stored in fatty tissue. Fasting or prolonged cardio can supposedly release THC when fat cells are burned. According to a researcher at my uni, sober rats can get re-stoned if they deprive them of food for a few days (and only if they were pumping them full of THC previously). Apparently it's a pretty reliable effect! They're currently conducting trials on human stoners.

Has anyone experienced something similar, either exercise or fasting induced? I'm imagining you'd need some fairly THC-saturated fat stores for this to work.

How do they know of the rats get high the second time?
See if they get the munchies?
Look out for "those stoned eyes"?
Show them Rorschach blots and ask if they think they see rainbows of peace and love?
Show them Cheech and Chong movies and count how many times they laugh?

if you're actually interested.
 
Hiking, cycling and kayaking while stoned are all very fun things to do. Smoking DMT in a kayak is also good fun, but that's off-topic...
 
I used to smoke weed then do a ton of pullups or go running, kinda grew away from it though. I still smoke when I go hiking and disc golfing though, funny you should mention those things specifically becuase I do both very frequently.

But I definately know what youre saying about cannabis making you able to push through the pain better.
 
I have done it a few times, had a joint, then gone mountain Bike riding, I find that my perception of the tracks are clearer.
 
Hell yeah there are strains that absolutely are beneficial for me, in terms of getting motivated to get up, get out of the house and exercise. In fact, prior to finding this thread I decided to pack up some of my Blue Cheese (I mixed this with a splash of LSD and Vanilla Kush-Blue Cheese primarily: because it makes me energetic, clear headed, and as a side/but related note - aroused) and then go for a speed walk slash slow jog.

This may not sound very 'hardcore' - ha! - but I work nearly every waking hour (shut up, to those of you who wonder how that's possible w/ all my bluelight hours, haha), don't eat a shit ton, am quite thin (so too much exercise - not needed, not for keeping 'slim', that is) and so getting this motivation is otherwise hard to come by.

There ARE, however, certain strains that I would never dream of smoking if I planned on doing some sort of exercises - knowing that I'd be extremely lethargic. Such as: Purple Passion. That's actually all I can think of. Most varieties are in 'Potential Workout' category.

(I'm high as a kite right now - I can't but think my post quality is inferior [compared to 'non smoking me]. My mind may be a bit 'slow' as a result of the weed at the moment, but my body works JUST fine - so now I head outside!)
 
I've smoked before workouts before. But ill only enjoy it when I take just a couple hits, and work out immediately after. If I sit and chill or if I smoke on a full stomach I usually get too lazy and lack the energy for a worth while workout

I do a lot of supersets and compound exercises so I really rather just saving the weed till after the workout so my energy is 100% for the gym. Plus I've smoked during a runners high and it's great. I feel so accomplished since I just worked hard and then that bud kicks in, my muscles relax and it's just heaven

Also if I smoke some straight indo then fuck the gym, but since most is crossed it never really matters

I've heard of this as well but I think it depends on how much thc is in the body and how fast the body metabolizes food.

I know a girl who went to this rehab where for the first week you spend every day in a sauna, and she told me her and all the other kids would start feeling high on coke or dope or w.e they were doing b.c they were sweating it all out or some shit, I dk how true any of that is tho
 
When I was thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail I started nearly everyone of my mornings with a nice bowl of herb, it made everything seem more amazing than it already was especially when you're above the tree line. I got a resupply in Maine after a particular dry spell and I'll be damned if I didn't float down the trail for week.

As for running, maybe a hit or two before hand anymore than that and I couldn't move any faster than a brisk walk. Definitely after run while stretching is perfectly awesome.
 
Make sure to WATCH YOUR HEART RATE when doing this. Scrolled through the thread and didn't see anybody say this. Just check it during the exercise, since weed raises your heart rate(maby it does for me more than most), it could potentially lead to problems. Like doing little lines then working out. Just a though.
I love to ski high, unless I'll be hiking much. Pretty decent sized cliffs high feels just so smooth.
 
^smoking weed before working out won't really have negative affects on your HR. Exercising while on stims could be an issue tho
 
its pretty common amongst construction workers. personally, about half the people i work with partake but i've heard some survey said like some 30% of construction workers smoke- who knows how accurate that is tho.

as for working out- i try not to smoke before working out for the simple fact that my friend who has put on over 50 lbs of muscle(all natural) said that he doesn't like to because it doesn't allow him to reach his potential, and i agree however i lack his dedication. also the way that it affects your heart and blood is not a good combo for working out as far as i understand. i'd rather go hard for a shorter period of time and weed doesn't let me do this. my heart starts beating extremely hard and i start sweating profusely. afterwards tho, its game fucking on.

Yeah, weed shouldn't hurt your heart rate when you work out. But when I work out while I'm on Adderall I have to slow myself down and not push myself.
 
a hard workout after a huge load on the vape is one of the greatest pleasures in my life. i've always loved physical exertion (easy workouts take more self-control than hard ones), and weed has an almost perfect synthesis with exercise for me. it puts me in a really motivated state, and also gives me the patience to do all the little things i might skip (cool-down, auxiliary muscles, etc). it gives me the crazy i need when i'm power-lifting, and helps me disconnect mentally during the ugly middle of a 20 mile run. not to mention the combination when i get a good pump/runner's high going.

i can't say for sure if it hurts performance or not, but i've been able to reach some very lofty goals even when smoking my way to equally lofty heights.
 
I'm a massive stoner, but I find that weed destroys my exercise tolerance. Every time I toke and then go for a run, play basketball, etc. my heart rate climbs significantly faster than it would if I was sober. Hand-eye coordination goes out the window and burn out sets in if you don't give up soon enough. When I smoke, I like to chill and have an in-depth conversation with whoever will listen to me. When I'm alone, I tend to raid my pantry and get lost in some good music. I will pass up on smoking whenever I plan on exercising, regardless of the quality of the bud. That's just me though.
 
I always loved smoking weed and exercising. Also getting stoned and doing activities (skiing, biking, climbing) but that's not exercise to me. After working out compulsively for ten plus years in one way or another, I find that weed just makes it more tolerable. I realized on my last break from pot, that I don't really enjoy lifting weights, or doing intervals on an exercise bike anymore. Weed just makes it less boring, turning off the part of my brain that says, this sucks, it's boring, go outside and climb something than ride your bike down it.

I'm not lazy at all, and am still motivated to exercise sober, but I enjoy it less, and probably don't go as hard as I do when I'm stoned.
 
Increased exercise related to marijuana anxiety?

Hi, it's been quite a while since I've posted on BL, usually I only do in time of need. I have been smoking weed almost everyday for the past 8 years (with the occasional day or two off here and there, but that is rare, up until now) and sure every once and a while I get that paranoid weed anxiety high. After the weed anxiety was getting to be a bother, I decided to only smoke hash instead, as it would give me the body high but not the mental paranoia that I get from straight up weed. Lately I have been increasing my exercise routine (going to the gym and swimming laps everyday now) and my usual post exercise smoke would always relax me, and make me feel great after a hard day. Now though, almost every time I smoke afterward, I get terrible anxiety and become panicked, and think about my future and past and about things I normally wouldn't dwell on unless I was really stressed out. This only happens when I smoke alone. I think it's because when I smoke with other people it kind of takes my mind off things and makes me just focus on the present moment. This really sucks because I do really enjoy being stoned, but it's gotten to the point where I have just been smoking a lot less, which also makes the anxiety worse when I do smoke because my tolerance is becoming lower. This really fucking sucks, because I love getting stoned! I know I shouldn't depend on a drug to make me happy, and I don't use weed like that. I really just like to use it to relax and unwind, never as a means of self destruction.
I had a friend a while back who was a huge stoner, and then started working out on a regular basis, and he told me that he was getting a lot more anxiety after smoking than he usually did, but he thought it was because of the supplements he was taking (weight gainers and energy supplements). Thinking back to this makes me think that maybe exercise itself has something to do with the paranoia/anxiety, because this only started happening when I started working out every day about two weeks ago.
I really don't want to quit smoking weed, because it is such a harmless and relaxing drug. I quit drinking and doing dope a few months ago, and this is really the only outlet that I have that I can use responsibly. If anyone has any helpful information, or knows ways around this, please let me know, I am open for suggestions. Thank you!
 
I was but I haven't been smoking as much since I've been getting anxiety from it. I also forgot to mention that the only supplement that I use is drinking a muscle milk after exercise, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
 
Perhaps it does. That's quite odd however, but everyone is affected differently. I can't really say anything in regards to that...however people have been known to develop anxiety from frequent, daily smoking of weed throughout the years. However usually it's for 25+ years probably...not just 8
 
That's odd, if anything you should be relaxed and not anxious or stress free after you exercise especially if you do cardio exercises.

Do you get anxiety or panic attacks when you're sober? What happens if you smoke first and then do the exercises later when you're sober, do you still get anxious or have panic attacks when you're high then? Do you have a lot of stress or things you worry about in your life now?

Do you smoke Sativa hash? Maybe try smoking Indica herb or hash instead? Maybe you're smoking too much at once? Just take a single hit from a small pipe or one hitter and see what that's like. Or like you said how you don't get anxious when you smoke with friends and buddies so maybe do that instead of smoking alone? I know people who get anxious, panicky, and paranoid when they smoke with friends or in social situations so they only smoke alone I guess it's the reverse for you so try smoking just a hit or two with friends and see how it is?

You wrote how you just got sober from booze and dope (I assume you mean heroin by 'dope'), and went through NA/recovery, maybe you're feeling some guilt about getting high or using drugs?

I used to take certain supplements, not muscle milk but whey protein powder and I never got anxiety from that and they shouldn't be giving you anxiety or panic attacks at all. Here are the ingredients in muscle milk.

http://musclemilknutrition.com/muscle-milk-ingredients/

My ex used to drink muscle milk and he rarely smoked pot at all but he didn't get anxiety from body building supplements or from the redbull he drank; but he would get anxious from getting way too stoned when smoking too much or eating too many edibles but that's common and can happen to people.

It sounds corny but try getting into meditation it can help relax you.
