What. Are you telling me I should get high as a kite before, say, a boxing match? After all, if reefer increases proprioceptive awareness, repeated huts from e bong should make me a veritable fighting machine.
I’m not telling you to do anything.
You realize Mike Tyson smoked before fights? I think he was an ok boxer?
Mike Tyson’s career went down the drain as his drug addiction grew more serious. The idea that the reefer helped him, or had no effect, is ridiculous.
Everyone with half a brain knows how terrible weed is. It's no coincidence that areas with legal weed are now awash in homeless burnouts looking for their next high. If the weed isn't available, they move on to more serious drugs like bumblebees, goofballs, etc.
Agreed. More reefer = more lazy, brain dead bums in the street. Inevitable.

yeah, how did all that weed work out for Mike? argument will be, well, imagine how much WORSE it would have 'straight'...
using Tyson's traumas (for real, going back to childhood) to bolster your stoner dude, man, pass the bong bro propaganda is weak.
well he was the youngest heavyweight world champ ever and pulled in about $375M in career earnings. so yeah, in terms of how weed effected his boxing ability, i'm gonna say it worked out ok.
might surprise quite a few of you here that most people who smoke are not at all the "stoner dude, man, pass the bong" types.
The funk, the disgusting smell, should have been obvious that the crap is not good for anyone. That it alters one's brain chemistry and is a gateway drug is one of those duhhhh moments.
The term 'gateway drug' is one of the more insidious phrases to enter the anti drug conversation. The insinuation is that one smokes weed, then starts to "crave" a bigger high, so you move on to cocaine, then crack, then heroine!
In actuality this is not about craving a high as it is risk taking. And just like any good algorithm (if you like That you will probably like This) people that will take the risk associated with weed would also be OK taking the risk with other drugs. BUT People that smoke cigarettes are probably more likely to drink alcohol than those that do not smoke, how many people that do not drink at all but also smoke weed or cigarettes or do other drugs- has to be a tiny population.
I’ve never understood how people use weed before running. I tried a couple of times to take an edible and run after reading somewhere (probably here) how great it was, and just felt like I was going to fall over the whole time. Things like the wind on my legs would bother me! Maybe smoking is different, but it was not appealing.
