yes i used the search function,thats why i bumped this,so dont bother with the "this discussion again?" posts.....
anyways...alot ofpeople have made the point that smoking before a work out is bad.i disagree..
maybe some people arent as motivated when they smoke weed,but that doesnt apply to everyone hardly.for me its quite the opposite.
i have always had a SERIOUS problem with attention deficit disorder.weed has become my ritilin.
i have played guitar since i was 4 years old and im close to yngwie level at 25 years old...i would say i could even outsweep him but he probobly has me on quintuplets.
alot of this is due to the fact that out of the 20 years i have played it...a good 6 of those years involved sitting on my bed for maybe 6 to 7 hours a night,5 days a week.
for someone with attention deficit disorder as severe as i have (i was diagnosed and prescribed ritilin at age 11),marijuana turns a 15 minute pick up the guitar and get bored 15 minutes later session,into an intense multiple hour practice.
this has proved true in the gym for the last 5 years ive been lifting on a regular workout schedule.getting to the gym without smoking a lil before would result in picking up the weights,working out for a few sets,and then bam,thinking about a girl,an argument,my job,what am i going to do tomorrow,whats the date again,that means rent is due in how many days/?,damn id like to move cos i hate my fucking landlord,but where,well the eastside would be good,id like closer to the gym and work,and the movies,man star wars was good,i dont understand how they think the 80s stars were better than the new ones,mark hammil was gay as hell and belonged on an afterschool special about abstinance,which reminds me christian rock music is laughable but phil keaggy would definitly give hendrix a run for his money,i wonder where my hendrix cd went,ill have to dl that whole fucking album again,i wonder if my computer has viruses from winmx,i wonder if mcafe actually does jack shit about them,ill run a check when i get home from working out,OH SHIT IM WORKING OUT GET BACK TO WORKING OUT!
smoke a hit before i go,crank the as i lay dying,and youve got nothing going on in my head but a mock drill sergeant conscience beating the fuck out of me for an hour..
of course you could recomend prescriptions for that,some type of adult ADD medication,but im not into it,i dont want to be cured of my add,i dont want to be like those who dont have it,it works to my advantage in many other areas of my life especially in creativity,i just need something to put it oh hold for an hour or so while i go heavy.
there are downsides to marijuana use of course...but for me they are outweighed by what i take from its use.im not an addict....i had surgery on my chest a year ago and couldnt lift for a while,i didnt smoke pot the whole time nor did i experience any withdrawal effects.
