[SplitSecond]

no one better say weed isn't a performance enhancer then

.. it definitely is. it takes away jitters, and leaves you (for some) completely focused for the task at hand.

Etc....

It may not increase lung capacity but the focus you get... Ive jump roped longer than I ever had before, high.

according to my personal experience, and the resources that ak49 posted above, it does.

next time you're in dc, get at me.

I think an issue here is the fact you americans can easily source high quality sativa strains that give you a buzz kinda high. Over here we don't really have strains as much, theres just good and bad weed. Its mostly indica dominant

half an 8th a day? just wasteful imo. Yeah I used to go through a 1/4 in about 2 weeks. Then I found out that there is a cap to your high. I just take lil hits, I still get high as hell.

For me I found portion is everything. You don't need a lot of weed to get you high.

If I smoke a half an 1/8 a day I'm going to feel groggy as hell. Just my opinion but you get higher when you give yourself breaks. I don't get any higher if I smoke bowl after bowl after bowl after bowl.

also I was high when I wrote that **** haha, I've recently been applying for jobs/interviewing so I've been cutting back. More realistically for me an 8th every 2 weeks

Oh your right bro no doubt. Ive always got the stuff around me though, and over here we spin our weed with a little tobacco and rip it in a bong through metal cone pieces. You guys seem to mostly rip bongs with just weed and no spin, and from what I've seen it like gets passed around between a couple ppl to finish it. Different way of smoking.

I've set bench press PR's while I was high.

Ran miles on the treadmill high.

It's the focus thing... you get the right music on your headphones... you slip away into extreme focus..

It may not increase lung capacity but the focus you get... Ive jump roped longer than I ever had before, high.

350lb bench press @ 198lbs..... high.

Pot is not good for cardio workouts.

Smoking reduces lung capacity, its pretty funny seeing pots smokers saying it increases lung capacity...... lay off the pot lolz.

The only time the ability to transfer oxygen to your blood through your lungs is the limiting factor is in elite short distance sprinters. If marijuana does give a benefit to exercise then it would be beneficial overall, since the detriment to your lungs is negligible if anything performance wise.

If you're going to smoke it would probably be better to smoke post-workout, preferably from a vaporizer IMO.

Or eat it in cookies, etc.

If you must smoke weed, avoid the blunts (tobacco). I've been working out hard for the past 12 years. I smoked weed off and on (mostly on) for the past 20 years. I stayed having nagging workout injuries when I smoked as opposed to not smoking.

I did smoke a blunt most of the time before I swam....and I would swim for about an hour. The lack of impact in the water made it easy and I would be high af swimming, feeling GOOD.

Yes eat it. Unless you're one of the unfortunate bastards who gets paranoid, this will help you with deep relaxation and therefore recovery, without irritating the lungs.
