i do smoke weed, but its not an everyday thing, ive been dieting and exercising for 3 weeks now, and when i get the munchies, i dont eat. but ive been hearing from alot of people that just smoking weed will affect your metabolism or some shit like that.

know what i mean? someone clarify for me please.

It won't affect your metabolism in any significant manner. But, when you're smoking, you don't feel like eating healthy food or working out, so it can be counter productive. Also, there are studies that show a decrease in natural testosterone levels associated with smoking weed.

Not much to worry about by the looks of it

Wow a college student's clearly biased paper.

But yeah the reduction of testostorone was the first thing I thought of.

I tend to notice that pot smokers are effeminate pussies. Whether pot makes you an effeminate pussy or effeminate pussies are more likely to smoke pot is the only debate.

Yea because thats the only thing I have read on the subject. And what the fuck makes you think people that smoke weed are effeminate, the only thing you can generalize is the fact that they smoke weed

NEW STUDY FINDS POT DOESN'T LOWER TESTOSTERONE

A new study by Dr. Robert Block at the University of
Iowa disputes the commonly held notion that marijuana alters
the level of testosterone and other sex hormones.
The study contradicted a widely publicized 1974 study
by Dr. R.C. Kolodony, which reported decreased testosterone
levels in men who smoked marijuana chronically.
The U. of Iowa study found that chronic marijuana use
had no effect on testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle
stimulating hormone, prolactin and cortisol in men or women.
Noting that six other studies had failed to show
lowered testosterone levels in men, Dr. Block concluded: "It
appears that marijuana, even heavy use of the kind that's
typical in the United States, doesn't alter testosterone levels."
However, he cautioned that heavy use might have other
adverse effects, including "possible effects on reproductive
function and mild, selective cognitive impairments associated
with heavy, chronic use."
Block's study is published in Drug and Alcohol
Dependence, Vol. 28: 121-8 (1991).

I always smoke before I work-out, I get more done believe it or not. And although I do get hungry, I usually eat a sandwich or two and that extreme hungry feeling gets severely minimized. Unless you're on a super strict diet, two sandwiches is nothing.

Not much, if you actually have some will power.

i disagree man. weed increases your heart rate, which increases the rate of blood flow around your body. and what's roughly a foot under your heart?

your stomach. the more blood flowing to the stomach the more energy the enzymes and all of the digestive.. shit, i should really look into metabolism research.. hmmm. *goes to wiki*
