Can marijuana or smoking affect muscle growth ?
Can marijuana or smoking affect muscle growth ?
Now THIS is my area of expertise. I research Cannabinoids at large as well as for my thesis on their effects.
Yes, Cannabinoids have been shown to produce negative growth changes in skeletal muscle cells in vitro in mammals, for a short duration of time and in a transient effect.
Essentially the cause a slowing of the electro-mechanical coupling(1), which is a fancy way of saying - slowing down the tim it takes the nerve signal to produce contraction (electro=nerve; mechanical=muscle)

very kool, thanks...
Don't get me wrong, I'm totally into weed, there's just a way to do it with minimal sacrifice to muscle function.
I don't drink, don't do smokes, but weed I wouldn't give up for the world.
same, i smoke MJ daily. I drink only a few times out the year if on vacation and do not smoke cigarettes/cigars. MJ gives me a good 30-60 minutes where i can push a bit further than i would be able to without, seems to be exactly what you mention in regards to slowing down the time it takes the nerve signal to produce contraction
Theoretically that could work in your benefit if you don't binge. Me, myself - a bit of a puff and I binge like a post hibernation pterodactyl on a period after a break up. But maybe that's because I hardly ever puff. Still my fav
all day, everyday bro lol. 20+ years

You ain't the Dr., so why the hell do YOU need to be sober?!
its not required, was just a preference. Which is no longer a viable option at this point for today haha

On indica as a PWO?I bet it blown Indica out of the water in the gym, have you tried doing any workouts on it at all? Any impressions you'd like to share?
No smoking for me of any sort, being a deep water technical diver, my lungs are too important to risk.
I have a Ice Queen strain that I really likeive really been riding the gorilla glue strain lately and both raspberry and razzberry kush here and there, love all them lol
