Marijuana and Training

[Bronan the Barbarian]

If I ever do form that classic rock cover band I always talk about, it will be called The Steakmilk Synergy. This is my pledge.

It's probably a break-even deal. Most studies have shown a depression in test levels, but most people would probably recover better if they ate more and slept better. Lots (perhaps even most in some sports) of elite athletes smoke dope. I didn't and don't like it that much, but it would be impossible to build a case for a lot of detrimental effects from the occasional use of marijuana.

First time I've ever really questioned your judgment. And your honesty.

There were times when I would sit around with “schwag” and get nothing but hungry and tired. On the other hand, a quick hit or two from something high quality would find me focused on cleaning and rearranging the house like some 50’s house wife on Benzadrine .

Right, strain is important. That's why it would be best to have it legalized, so dispensaries could help you sort this out. Also because I've fucking called everyone I know, and some people I don't, and apparently no one is holding, and it sure would be easier if it were legal and I could buy it at the store.

And everyone knows that Milksteak is best prepared overhard with a side of jellybeans.

So glad someone worked a It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia quote into this discussion.

Its interesting that in this day and age there is still termendous miscommunication about pot.
When compared against pot, alcohol is substantially more harmful to oneself and the community. The number of fights that I have witnessed over time due to alcohol is considerable... no one fights when smoking pot unless it's for the last piece of pizza.
I smoke infrequently but regularly, and find the 'high' miles better than the bloated, uncoordinated, pissing-every-5-minutes, speech-slurring, 'I-love-you-man' high (if that's what its called) of alcohol.

Look, dumbass, I'm not Bill Clinton. I inhaled. It made me cough and fucked up my training. It broke my train of thought up into little unorganized bits. It made me sillier than I normally am anyway. The last time I used it I ate it in a brownie and I was useless for 24 hours. I don't like being useless, so I quit. And I'd rather drink good whisky because it tastes better. I applaud other people that can deal with it, but the last time I used any pot was 1988.
