How many of you used to be drug users and turned to working out as a safer alternative? lifting weights is my anti-drug, is it also yours?

It is actually

Far more productive, and cheaper.

I used to just sit around getting stoned and taking pills, now I usually only get drunk on a Friday and maybe have a few joints once a week.


I can honestly say my life has improved.

I used to do a lot of drugs.

Nowadays I pretty much just keep it to alcohol, hallucinogens, and some occasional MDMA.

I also work out a lot more and eat healthier. I'm a lot happier now....


I still look at my past drug use as a mentally positive thing though. Well most of it.

Umm, no.

Sometimes I get stoned and work out, though.

My buddy smokes a blast of crack before he does sets, he says he gets bigger gains and more energy. But you can only smoke a blast for every different exercise you do.

Didn't change my drug habits, besides the fact I smoke a little less.

Although now I don't really like doing drugs that'll fuck you up for more than a day. IE alcohol or MDMA for that horrible day after.

But I smoke like a chimney, and I'll eat mushrooms or acid any day of the week.

I tried that shit once, almost dropped dropped 205lbs on my face. How the fuck can you do that?

lol I remember this one time me and a buddy got stoned and tryed to workout it was a struggle,I had no strength at all

im not longer injected needles with drugs, im injecting my needles of jesus of myself.

Well, don't let being stoned compromise your adherance to saftey...

...but I also pretty much use it for combat-related high-weighted cardio. 'n since I spent years getting high and throwing down, it's just natural for me to try to burn off that intense energy of the first rush with combat-related exercise...

To each his own...

MY habits havent changed. I drink less but other than that i still participate in most other things.
THC is a Exogenous vasodilator....so if i take my nitric oxide supplement plus chief some smoke, its like x2-x3 lifts. Depending on what im doing i can usually bust another 1-4 reps.

It feels good to lift, i get amped up, yell/grunt/laugh the usual...

How are you progressing? when you started you were at ____ weight, and now you are ____. How has that arm program work out for you ?

I only smoke on days that I don't work out, that way I can just enjoy my high and chill.

Usage did drop dramatically when I started, I just think "I can do this and get high or work out and feel fucking amazing all day tomorrow, and then smoke at the end of it." Easy choice.

The day after a work out I always have so much energy, it's really fun, it's almost like a drug

Well I used to be quite a "drug head". And I last used on Jan 1st and I think its quite likely I will never use ANY drug again. I havent even drank since.

So anyway, my anti drug is health. Its literally ALL I do. I goto martial arts about 5 times a week, and on the other days and sometimes the same days I will lift weights or do cardio.

Its my real Antidrug.

And I get the exact same "RUSH" from excersize as coke and stuff but theyres no comedown, you feel healthy, you dont feel guilty, and theyres no "junk mail thoughts" in your head.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
