Q: Hey dude, how u going.
I have been working out with heavy weights for 16 weeks and am happy with the improvemts in both my body and its ability. During this time i smoked a lot of pot and would like to know specifically the effect of such pot in my system and on my progress to gettin a great body. I know health wise its a bad idea so i dont need comment on that aspect.
Thank you

A: I am not aware of any studies that have been done on this. There are certainly many people who smoke pot on occasion and still benefit greatly from weight training, as you yourself discovered. I would guess, and it's entirely my guess, that smoking will do some damage to your lungs (similar to cigarette smoke) which will hurt your cardio and in-between set recovery ability over time. If it makes you lazy or hungry (leading to eating junk food), that can obviously be negative too.
