DUDE

It kills your REM-Sleep and I think that's were most recovery takes place

yeah, weed lowers test and saps focus/motivation. thc accumulates in fat cells and dampens memory and cognition even when you're not high. not sure why people are falling for this meme. just have a couple of drinks now and then.

Different drugs affect different brains differently. Who would've thought.

Do what makes you feel GOOD, not what other people SAY makes THEM feel good.

>lowers test
>just drink instead bro
christ dude really worked that brain cell extra hard to pump that shit out didnt ya

basic and incredibly contrarian pilled

WEED

You know that alcohol has estrogen in it right?

Come back when you've been smoking daily for like a decade. Weed is fine, just don't do to much unless you feel like getting blasted/stoned and have some free time to chill, when I started smoking I took a few years off the gym but I got back into it in a big way, you have to know how to use the plant right. If you want to be energized, smoke sativa, if you want to be relaxed, generally smoke indica. I won't deny the dangers of smoking including lung disease and can cloud your mind if smoked in excessive amounts, but I actually can become more focused and attentive with the right strain, most sativas desu. If you don't want to become lazy and still want to smoke for sleep aid, smoke hybrids instead of indicas before sleep, and just actually develop some willpower and discipline. You can also think of it as a handicap, like if you can go lift even though you've been smoking you will kick it's ass if you are sober, for example.

Also, just switch to semi-annual psychedelic trips.

Does CBD fuck with sleep like regular old weed does? I've been using some thc carts cause it's the best sleep aid I've ever had but apparently I'm sacrificing quality for quantity.

do you have any sources for both of those claims

been smoking regularly for a while now but if that's true I might cut it back

This, i feel so much more articulated in putting thoughts in words/paper, im more considerate/nicer, Ive aced tests in school while high that i dont think I could’ve done without it(sativa i think).

I dont really smoke anymore at all, but when i do i read alot, usually i avoid reading long and “difficult” texts but when im stoned i just dive in.

I tried adderall and it just made me anxious, so i have no idea whats wrong with me.

Thanks for reading my blog

light drinking does not lower test. binge drinking will wreck your hormones obviously.
>muh phytoestrogens that havent been shown to change male hormones
do you know how many double ipas you'd have to drink to get a significant dose?

thank you

interesting that they did it during discontinuation - fits in with absolutely shitty sleep when I don't smoke

Hate to be a downer but if you need weed to sleep then that isn't a good sign. I used to smoke heavily daily and got to a point where I was relying on being blazed before I could doze off and when you get to that point it's probably not good. Also, weed affects everyone differently (obviously) but if you're finding that it's sapping your drive, then it's sapping your drive. Not saying stop, just saying maybe smoke a bit less frequently and at times when having no drive isn't an issue. Also, I know it sounds stupid but just having 3 or 4 days in between a smoke can really make the world of difference.

Gives me more drive, when im not smoking i lay around more believe it or not. Idk im in the habit of smoking then doing sprints or long distance running and wrestling drills. I definitely get cloudy when i smoke too much but its cuz i smoke that good shit

MAN

This is why you fuck tards can't be scientists

1 study on the sleep disturbances of HEAVY pot smokers does not translate to the same out come for casual users.


fucking retards
absolute fucking retards.
physiology and biology are not the disturbingly oversimplified systems you make them out to be

LSD is a much better substitute for preworkout.

when i was still micro dosing i would have so much energy that i would go on 10 mile walks around my county every time i did it

It does. It becomes the one and only reward mechanism, for your average guy like me who will never look too much into it and just buys 10 bags of whatever bud I can get, even if I sleep 8 hours, eat well, supplements, I can’t be fucked going to workout. This shit needs to stop, at least with drinking I get motivated. When I’m drunk I think FUCK YEAH CANT WAIT TO HIT SOME POWER CLEANS, even hungover I tackle the day motivated and goal oriented (“right so to make up for last nights drinking I’ll do x and y and z..”) But with weed it’s always the same - no mental gymnastics, no trying to decide if I go to the gym or not. It’s just ‘I can’t be fucked so I won’t’. The CARE about everything vanishes. Same goes with cutting, if I don’t smoke any weed I wake up starving and LOVE the hunger, hyped up to get my abs in, but if I smoke up (even remaining in deficit) I lose all my drive and motivation for it. I think what sums it up best is that chronic weed makes you okay with doing nothing and being bored. The fight and fire for your passion(s) inside you will extinguish, until there’s no internal conflict whatsoever. You’ll lose sight of the reason you started anything which very quickly devolves into starting over again and again and again until you’re like me and can’t even be fucked trying to quit because your motivation for every aspect of life has been completely sapped, oh but somehow I’ll always have money for smoke.It’s funny how all weed smokers, myself included, justify it like it’s no big deal and the side effects are easily overcome with a bit of willpower but that’s not the case lol. When you stay sober, every gym day you wake up laser focus and driven. If you smoke, it’s a chore and your workouts are less ‘this is what I want” and more ‘Christ this is what I’m supposed to want but would rather sit on my ass and chill’. Speaks for itself really, if the motivation isn’t there the results won’t come

What an unbiased level-headed opinion

It makes you lose motivation, did you not know that?

It does and that's why I stay off of it for weeks at a time until the holidays are around, then I allow myself to unwind.
This shit is great because it's one of my favourite ways of relaxing, but I cannot indulge in it because it makes me apathetic.

I love doing yoga stretching while high, bicycle trips are also more enjoyable.

How much did you take as a microdose?

somewhere around 20-40ug
take that shit around 6am and your good till around midnight. you have to be carefull though bc if you take too much you're going to be too introspective to be productive.

Puritans will claim it's literally the devil's lettuce. Junikies will claim "DUDE WEED LMAOL" I fall somewhere in the middle. I vape occasionally but sometimes I'll go long stretches where I don't touch the stuff.

it doesn't. I used to think it did until I started programming. If I smoke weed and all of a sudden I come up with an idea on how to get around a problem, I will immediately start coding to see if what I was thinking works. I think this is only because programming excites me.
For other things that don't excite but make me feel good, weed will not affect my decision on if I want to do that activity or not. My laziness will be the deciding factor

I was thinking about going to hot yoga high.

>does weed rob your drive
everybody knows how motivated and ambitious potheads are

Smoke less often then. Weed is good but you need to know what your limits are.

>everybody knows how motivated and ambitious potheads are
>implying everyone who doesn't smoke weed has lots of motivation and ambition; no one is lazy in this world

keep coping with the jew plant loser

Yeah, you better smoke so you can become as successful as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Phelps, Morgan Freeman and Bill Gates

>Let me just insert some totally unrelated blogposting.

It can. It can also not. Looks like for you, it does. You already knew that. This was not worth asking anybody.

>Good
If you are less interested in being all you can be than feeling fine about where you are, sure.

>can't accept truth
>cout

>does weed rob your drive
Yes.
It also makes you more susceptible to hypnotic suggestion.
There's a reason it was pushed so heavily in certain troublesome circles of the american populace along with certain forms of media.

He didn't imply that. You inferred it when it was not implied. Learn the difference between deduction and induction.

hes an addicted loser, he will do any kind of mental gymnastics to rationalize it

does weed help trensomnia? i wonder if having some non-REM sleep from weed would be any better than getting barely any normal sleep at all without it

Weed is a really special substance in that it affects everyone a little differently and each strain is a little bit different. Also legal recreational use is still really new and legal weed in general is also still, and therefore the lines between medical use and people trying to get high is constantly blurred.

Try cbd water and see if that helps. It won't get you high.

Yes, drugs will fuck you up.
Not sure why people even argue about this.

>he didn't imply that
>learn to be smart
>doesn't realize the implication of the post
jesus, you guys are dumb

>Sleep aid
My ass. Get up early, get some exercise, turn your electronics off, and get to bed at a decent hour. Don't pretend you're doing anything other than getting high.

>I didn't understand two of the words used.
>I'll just replace them with words I know.
>Other people are dumb

You are still inducing something and pretending you've deduced it. "Potheads are unmotivated" does not imply "Non-potheads are all motivated". You've baselessly inferred it because strawmen are easy to knock down.

Read a book at some point this decade you worthless swine.

>does a mind altering substance affect my motivation to do things
Gee I don't know

>still interpreting it one way
my god. you are either stubborn or just plain dumb

You sound like a degenerate triggered stoner

THIS IS SOME GOOD WEED DUDE

at least its not as bad as being a non triggered degenerate idiot. I would tell you to think about that for a second but you are an idiot so it wouldn't really matter

Weed is for people that have already MADE IT in life. If you have graduated, make dank bank at your job, have a lovely wife and planning on having kids someday then you can choose any vice you want. Because your life’s wheels are already in motion at that point weed won’t fuck with your head and you’ll always know where your priorities are at. If you have none of those things weed will throw you down the bottomless pit of self-guessing your every move and ambition.

>turn your electronics off, and get to bed at a decent hour
Not everyone is able to do this, especially people on a salary or with a trade. Also cbd water doesn't get you high, they sell it smoke shops. Old people drink it for arthritis and chicks drink it for period cramps.

you sound like a middle school child trying to give life advice. if weed messes up your life to the point you keep making shit decisions, maybe its time to take a hard look at yourself and ask if you can really blame everything on weed.
this is like blaming your parents for being a failure as an adult. like dude, you're an adult. take some responsibility you pussy

INB4 You type like a middle school child

>t. triggered stoner degenerate

Stop smoking it, and start eating it. Eat it right before you go into the gym, so that it kicks in as you are already warmed up and in the middle of working out. Listen to death metal.
Feels amazing bruh

you seem quite mad - have you considered that I am a heavy pot smoker? I'm not sure why someone considering cutting back on their usage because there may be a negative effect makes you so angry

Of course it does. It makes you a brain dead apathetic idiot.

Just from my own experience i tend to not really care. When im high every single day i only work out the bare minimum to not be fat. But now that i use only when i spent time outdoors or with friends im much more motivated to do random shit/workout. Also it absolutely wrecking my sleep. I would stay up til 6 am then sleep til 2pm. Without it i can go to bed much easier so its become more of a day and evening but not close to bed time activity.

Don't bother. Jow Forums doesn't care about actually being right.

I have insomnia from a mixture of depression and PTSD. Without any kind of sleep aid I will involuntarily stay up for days. I've tried many different pharmaceuticals. Some gave me vertigo the next day, some worked too well and I couldn't get up in the morning, and some just didn't work. So far, weed has helped me get to sleep, stay asleep, and then wake up to my alarm clock in the morning. Not to mention it helps stop my hypervigilance which is very nice. There are other people out there like me.

You guys do realize that the pothead who won't stop talking about weed aren't the only people smoking, right? I grew up in an uppermiddle class area and nearly all the parents, who are successful by any standard, smoked pot. They just don't talk about just like most people don't go on and on about how much alcohol they drink.
