Does smoking weed affect weight gain?

I smoke a couple of spliffs each evening - it sure makes me eat more.

It also can elevate oestroge aswell i think.. not good.

Panthro · 22-07-2004, 10:22 AM

It can help with the appettite...

I find that it affects my short term memory (I'm forgetful enough already!) and I always wake up with a headache if I have had a smoke.

ONE SMART COOKIE · 22-07-2004, 04:35 PM

It effects short term memory for now but that soon ends up being longterm memory and making the user lazy in everyday life,a mate of mine used it for years at a couple a day its ****ed him up in the head big style and given him some bad bad ass bitch tits even when he did manage to go weeks without being on he had some major flash backs,if you value your bbing stay well away.

megatron · 22-07-2004, 04:43 PM

gay, I kind of hoped that it would be a catalyst... I love the weed but cookie is right - it makes u lazy as hell.

**hackskii** · 22-07-2004, 05:53 PM

I indulge in small amounts. I dont use everyday unless you are talking about beer. OOPS!
OFF TOPIC

Small amounts wont hurt one thing.
It can give you gyno and there are case studies to prove this. But moderation is keey here and that applies to just about everything.

cranky_messiah · 22-07-2004, 09:38 PM

Definatly in moderation if you want to keep your health and from experience it certainly make me a lazy man.

If you want to look after your lungs though you want to buy about 0.5oz and put it in about a 30cm long plastic gas pipe. At the bottom of the pipe fix on a coffee filter and run a few cans of butane through. Collect the goods in a pot let it evapourate and bingo pure THC. You only need to smoke a pencil tip worth and it will blow your teeth out for the whole evening. Trust me. I dont smoke so i do it through a bong and only as a special treat one in a while.

**hackskii** · 25-07-2004, 11:41 PM

Hey Cranky, are you using butane as a solvent?
If you are I am not sure what the flash off of the residue it would leave.
If this is the case then there are better filters and better solvents to use.
I dont want to post that but there is better ways.
Plus the plastic might be polyvinal chloride or something like that and this might not be good to smoke.

thing is with the munchies goods, is that you always end up eating 25 packets of salt and vinegar, never 25 cans of tuna.

Take note

Weed can be harmful in a number of ways, through both immediate effects and damage to health over time.

Weed hinders the user's short-term memory (memory for recent events), and he or she may have trouble handling complex tasks. With the use of more potent varieties of weed, even simple tasks can be difficult.

Because of the drug's effects on perceptions and reaction time, users could be involved in auto crashes. Drug users also may become involved in risky sexual behavior.

Under the influence of Weed, students may find it hard to study and learn. Young athletes could find their performance is off; timing, movements, and coordination are all affected.

How does weed affect driving?

Weed affects many skills required for safe driving: alertness, the ability to concentrate, coordination, and reaction time. These effects can last up to 24 hours after smoking weed. Weed use can make it difficult to judge distances and react to signals and sounds on the road.

There are data showing that weed can play a role in crashes. When users combine Weed with alcohol, as they often do, the hazards of driving can be more severe than with either drug alone.

A study of patients in a shock-trauma unit who had been in traffic accidents revealed that 15 percent of those who had been driving a car or motorcycle had been smoking marijuana, and another 17 percent had both THC and alcohol in their blood.

In one study conducted in Memphis, TN, researchers found that, of 150 reckless drivers who were tested for drugs at the arrest scene, 33 percent tested positive for marijuana, and 12 percent tested positive for both marijuana and cocaine. Data also show that while smoking marijuana, people show the same lack of coordination on standard "drunk driver" tests as do people who have had too much to drink

Its been proven in scientific studies that weed does not hinder any type of bodybuilding, I have been reading that a very moderate amount of weed can be good for bodybuilding. True smoking way too much isn't good for you but neither is taking loads of gear? I have smoked weed for a fair long while now. Generally if I smoke in the evenings and make sure I have a very active day the next day both mentally and physically then the sides are hardly there.

I was quite surprised to see people copying and pasting articles, I bet I could find a million more articles about why not to do gear, you need to look beyond the bull****.. I used to get munchies really bad then when I started training I realised I couldn't just eat alot of crisps so I stopped myself from getting munchies..

A few things I have learnt though... Do not smoke before school otherwise your attention will just be elsewhere for the day and you wont learn a thing, I find that its bad to smoke during the day because it just makes you not want to do much and just sit around which to me is quite depressing, Don't smoke before you go out somewhere ie Club or Pub.. As you'll end up sitting there not saying much looking like a ****.. If your sensible then weed is fine. Generally when I am bored at home at night with a couple of friends over we'll just roll a couple of joints play xbox and watch movies and just have a laugh it makes for a good night if you are stuck for things to do.

Sorry to go on its just I feel strongly about the fact that weed gets bad mouthed alot, its only bad if its all you do, I have known people who spend half there days and nights just sitting there stoned just letting weed take over their lives and thats when I think weed can be bad. Right ok ill shutup now.

99problems.

Just to add I am not saying weed is an oh so great thing for everyone or encouraging people that is just my opinion. :-)

**Jimmy** · 06-09-2004, 07:39 PM

what ever next......we will have people posting that crack is good to boost a workout and nubain great for the comedown.....lets not forget the ghb to get to sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

winger · 06-09-2004, 08:01 PM

I have been smoking for over 20 years. I only smoke at night and just enough to get stupid....lol. Just took an I.Q. test and scored a 122 and rushed through it could have done better. I also semi recently passed my MCSE test. Just passed a very difficult test at work and the failure rate is about 80%. I also just beat the number one ranked A player in racquetball. Does it make you lazy, yes. Am I lazy no. I think it affects everybody different. I find it funny that you guys will say weed is bad but do gear. I feel gear is bad and weed is the most natural thing there is. Plus man has been smoking weed a hell of a lot longer that taking gear. The problem with doing studies on man is, man lives so long. So to get the results from tests you might be dead...........lol.
