my friend, who smokes a minimum of 3 bowls a day, just won a local 5k race with a time of 17:01. i mean, he runs 50 miles a week, but for the amount of smoke he puts in his lungs, im just a bit surprised. he told me it doesnt even affect him in the least, and i only believed him to an extent until now, cause he proved me wrong with numbers

wow at least 3 bowls a day and won a 5k with an awesome time. Tell him hes the only one to be able to do that.

**DaBluedevil** · October 25th, 11:47 PM

50miles a week will help out the fact that he smokes.

**XtremeAaron** · October 25th, 11:48 PM

The entire time I ran track I wake n baked. I didnt find it any harder to run either.

**olddfatbulldog** · October 25th, 11:48 PM

So like a little over 8 miles a day?

That's pretty damn good. I wish I had the willpower to run as much as he does in one day but in a week.

Yah it's surprising but weed doesn't seem to affect running that much until later. I remember in HS my teammate would usually run about 16:30's to 50's depending on the course in XC 5ks, and he smoked up daily, even smoked up before some races. Granted he sucks now in college, it's caught up to him, but yah it didn't really seem to affect him.

The smoke doesn't seem as exhausting as cigarette smoke

that's because it's an expectorant. weed opens your lungs more, while nicotine constricts them. you could probably actually get a better time high than sober because of this (if you have an energy pill or something in you)

True, he has gotten pretty unmotivated. I heard he's dropping down to a community college because of grades after this quarter lol.

**MidwestKidz** · October 26th, 12:00 AM

really i didn't know that about weed. Tell him like hes the man.

JH · October 26th, 05:51 PM

well isnt that fantastic. i can see it now. all of pbf lounge smokes a bowl and then goes out to run thinking they can forever

**burningcow422** · October 26th, 06:04 PM

sounds like a plan.

**128shot** · October 26th, 06:17 PM

from what I understand, weed that isn't laced with something harmful is actually slightly good for your lungs, not bad

We had a kid in highschool run 3 miles in 15 minutes on hilly courses. That same kid pulls in sub 25 minute 5 miles now that he's in college.

He doesn't smoke pot though so...

While I doubt this because it's still smoke - if it were true I think 3 bowls a day would be too much for any good.

Doesn't suprise me.

Just because its illegal doesn't mean its bad for you. I used to smoke more then him, and since I quit (2 weeks this saturday), the only difference I noticed is that I get really bored during the day becuase I have nothing to do and just sleep.

I started wearing sweaters since I quit too. Weird...

Anyways, if you guys want the truth, check www.wikipedia.org. They have a good marijuana article, and its not biased at all.

Please, for the love of freedom, do not believe anything the government tells you about marijuana. If you want facts, you look to science, not politics.

**SuicideDemons1** · October 26th, 08:40 PM

Weed can't be good for your lungs 128shot..no way.

**Zeruel** · October 26th, 08:47 PM

I dont know how good it is, but I have an uncle who is almost 60 years old, and he smokes 1-2 packs of cigs a day, and smokes multiple joints a day, and in the woods hunting, there are few people who can keep up with him. im not in amazing shape, but im 16 and dont smoke or do anything and i can keep up with him for maybe half a day tops, after that im done.

Marijuana does not cause cancer:

This is an AWESOME website. The only thing I don't agree with is teh whole cancer bit. Science has proven that it doesnt cause cancer. This site is kinda old.
