Health and Mary J.

Hi im a 22 year old former high school football player current college student working full time. On my liesure times i smoke weed and i love it. i stay away from cigarettes but do chew tobacco on occasions. I also excercise at least twice a weak includes lifting and cardio. I was just wonder if its possible for me to maintain my level of fitness/health while being a pot head? thanks

 

lol.... Yes. cannabis can actually be very good for your health in many many ways

 

any inhaled combusted plant material will take a toll on the cardiovascular.. so if you need iron lungs.. i'd find healthier alternatives.. invest in a high end vape or make edibles

 

I'm also an ex high school football player and I also happen to be simultaneously in the best shape of my life and at the point where I smoke the most frequently. I ran my first 5k race on Sunday and right after I smoked a dookie ass roach blunt along with two other blunts of regs. I know its not gonna last though.

 

Well you're going to need to work hard to maintain it..

Like joker said, combusted plant material is not too good for the lungs. Personally, I am a long-distance runner and if I don't run for a while and smoke quite a bit in between I find it harder to run for one or two times.. but the lungs clear up after a bit of training.

 

Please stop chewing tobacco. It is more harmful to chew than to smoke.

 

i think chewing is repulsive. and have you seen what mouth/ throat cancer does to you? a family member of mine had to have most of his face removed, and didn't recover from the surgery. nasty crap. but hey, i believe in survival of the fittest, so do whatcha want.

as far as the weed, i second the vape, and edibles. i have a vaporbrothers and i like it, though its usually more convenient to smoke. you will have to stay motivated enough to work out though, and than might be difficult. mind over matter though, it can be done.

 

i got plenty of will and motivation to work out and stay in shape i just like to get high on my down times and i always thought cigs were worse than chew

 

lots of pro sports dudes puff doobies....i wouldnt expect to win any iron man competitions but you should be fine

 

well, you learn something new everyday. chew comes in direct contact with the soft tissues of the cheek, it basically rots them away.

 

santanio holmes smokes weed, and he isnt so stupid..

 

thats not what im ask. im asking can i say still run a marathon or live to be 100 while being a pot head most of my younger life

 

depends on your definition of pothead. and only you can find that out. maybe you end up a burnout, or maybe you keep yourself in top shape. its up to you, and your body. none of us can predict your future.

 

100? Maybe, but you might get shot tonight..


My advice, buy a GOOD quality vaporizer, causes very little damage compared to the harshness of a blunt. And always get high quality smoke where you can. IE vaporizing a small amount of good quality bud is better for you than smoking a 3g blunt of dirt weed.
