Will smoking weed occasionally ruin my lungs?

There's a possibility you are faster than me (especially if you are single and unemployed like many potheads I have known). When I was younger and cared about running competitively, I was pretty fast. Now that I am older and have turned my competitive attention to business, I am good at that as well. You might make enough money to pay for your habit and a modest rental, win your local turkey trot, get high and eat some pizza and that might be a very fulfilling life for you. I have other aspirations.

try smoking immediately before an easy run sometime, that's a lot of fun

it seems to me that you guys are trying to get this kid to increase his cannabis consumption.

sure

Give me a call when you move out of your mom's basement.

Yes, it will occasionally ruin your lungs.

Do you have prove that sucking smoke into your lungs is not detrimental to running , a sport that requires as much oxygen consumption as possible?

I have proof, and it's that the blood is the limiting factor, not the lungs. Your lungs have to be in pretty bad shape to not give the blood all it can handle.

However, if you spend your life smoking whatever substance, you risk having your lungs end up in pretty bad shape. That's how tobacco gets people - smoke their whole lives, then when they're old the diseases happen.

That's funny. The only adult children I know of that live in their parents basement are potheads. In fact, the basement you live in might be in a house I own that I am renting to your mom. Hopefully she has found a new place to turn tricks since the bowling alley got shut down for COVID and I don't have to evict you both.

Responding in general.

Why is this a question? If you are a serious runner doing everything else possible to achieve maximum results, no you shouldn't inhale smoke into your lungs.

If you are a semi-serious or recreational runner, and want to smoke weed, go ahead.

I don't know if smoking pot will make you slower or ruin your health. However, it will give you an aversion to manual labor or any sort of hard work in the long term. I believe it's called amotivational syndrome. Nearly all the big-time stoners I went to high school with many years ago turned into deadbeats.

It will probably kill you within the next 100 years.

You don't own any houses, you're unemployed, and you dropped out of college because you couldn't handle it. It's okay snowflake, the adults will take care of everything for you.

It probably doesn’t help, but there’s more to life than just running.

Yes but...is vaping weed that other thing?

I own multiple houses and a commercial property. Freakonomics did an article a couple of years ago revealing that drug dealers are more likely to live with their parents:

Here is another article that would be good for your mom, as many parents are saddled with having to take care of their drug addicted adult child:

It's pretty simple. Once you permanently mess up your brain chemistry, your behavior makes you incapable of holding a job, so you live in your parents basement and vote Democrat.

There's no need to lie on an anonymous message board to boost your ego. You don't own any property and you've never accomplished anything meaningful in your entire life.

We're not all drug-addled idiots. Some of us went to class and made the most of our educations. Someone owns the building you rent. I just happen to be one of many that do. It's amazing what one can accomplish with a clear head and a decent work ethic.

Obviously some people graduate college and own property, I never claimed the opposite. Your poor reading comprehension is part of the reason you never graduated college and don't own any property. You have a terrible work ethic, which is why you can't hold a job for any prolonged period of time. Why do you insist on lying about yourself here? We both know the truth.

If you're national class or higher, or want to be, stay away from it.

But also be worried if you live near a busy road, because that's equally as bad, or even worse for you.

Unless you're smoking non-stop every day, you aren't doing much harm at all. But you are still doing more harm, than if not smoking weed.

All this said, I ran at a well-known D1 school, and I know for a fact that nearly half our XC team, including three who ran at the NCAA Championships, were known to smoke pot.

uhhhhhhh--smoke in the lungs will Definitely hinder your endurance
