    Marijuana and working out question

    I go lift weights 5 days a week. About 60% of the time I notice that people come in to workout, smelling strongly of weed. Is this common elsewhere?

    I am not active in the gym (round is a shape, you know), but I smell weed at least 3x a week and it isn't from me.

    Folks are smoking or vaping while they drive and puffing it out the window at stoplights. I smell it when folks get out of their cars. Sometimes people smell like it in stores.

    Can't be true. I thought weed smokers just laid around all the time?

    Must be a Canadian thing. LOL
    I've been going to the gym 5 days a week for years and never smelled any of that.
    I do find it funny though as I will sometimes see somebody smoking a cigarette outside of the gym.

    A lot of guys that are serious gym bros / bodybuilders smoke before working out. Like others said they can get the mind / muscle connection thing going.

    Sounds more like the unhealthy/ healthy thing going?

    Certainly better than drinking booze and sitting on the couch

    What if I get up and run to get my weed?
    If professionals who's careers depend on catching fish use FFS then that's what I'm using. Might be too simple of a philosophy but makes sense to me.

    This is nothing new. Gym rats have been using thc before workouts for a long time. Certain strains will give you major focus and energy. All that helps when lifting/body building. It’s not a big deal. Pretty much everyone at a gym minds their own business and so should you. Not sure it’s an issue that triggered osubuck so bad.

    I'd for one would like to hear about that one? Focus to grab a bag of Doritos is the strain I have!

    Curious. All of this weed workout knowledge. Considering these idgets come in and walk on the treadmill and maybe lift 30# weights. I’m wondering the mind body connection and how that would assist them. Thank you for the insights

    I just read some study that came out which stated that cannabis doesn't give you any benefits with the workout other than enjoying it more. This was for runners as well as lifters. Obviously, I would never partake while driving a boat but having half a gummy at the start of the day if I was a nonboater sounds kinda enjoyable.
