I smoke weed, have been for about 2 years. It was just a weekend thing until recently, I've started smoking every other day pretty much.

I'm going for a run in the state park nearby, since I'm trying to exercise more and eat a little better. I was planning on smoking a joint next to the creek after I finish, and maybe swimming afterwards. Is this a bad idea? Would smoking in anyway hinder my attempts at losing weight? It's obviously not good for your lungs but other than that I don't see why...But I'm just trying to make sure

If I don't start eating while high, I don't get any hungrier than before I smoked, so I don't think munchies would be a problem.

as logn as you dont succumb to munchies, youll be fine.

Nope ;-) just watch the munchies theyll cancel out all your hardwork and such. I chiefed the hell out of the stuff when i was trying to drop the pounds and put on the muscle. As long as you can control yourself you'll be fine.

I've heard that weed increases metabolism.

When I quit for 2 months I put on weight...

I will have to look that up.

I used to smoke pot daily while I was in high school playing soccer. Best shape I've been in so far.

The pot itself isn't going to hurt you, if you're the type that gorgues on food when you're stoned then yes, not good. However I don't get the munchies, I just get hyper and need to do shit. So I was smoking before and after every game and practice. It was a part of me then.

I stopped awhile back, might start smoking again on an occasional basis, hell, it's by far better than the drinking I've been doing to the extent I have. I've gained too much weight from drinking constantly.

Contrary to popular belief it is not the munchies that are the primary cause of fat-assism. It is a leading cause but pot can slow down your metabolism making you gain weight no matter what you eat and makes it harder to lose the weight. And for those of you who don't know, extended periods of marijuana use can cause increased body fat and bitch tits on men. If you are intent on losing weight and not quiting pot, I would strongly recommend just switching your drug to something a bit more speedy or even hallucinagens because anything else will slow your weight loss progress such as alcohol and pain killers.

This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

I have no idea what I'm talking about because it goes against your fairy tale bullshit beliefs that are based on high fantasies. Show some citation otherwise your full of shit.
