And then go back to work after lunch break and not be able to add 3 numbers together.

even to the point of implementing policies specifically designed to get gym rats to quit their gyms

The only policy like that I ever encountered didn't allow you to lift heavy weights and didn't allow grunting. LOL! Talk about going out of business fast.

Using cannabis does not = addiction. That’s a prohibitionist fallacy. It is true that many on FR support freedom & individual liberty. This includes those of us who support the 10th Amendment & who don’t believe in supporting the irrational actions of the nanny state. Decriminalize it federally & let the states decide.

And no, I do not support any addictions. Treat cannabis like alcohol & let people decide for themselves, k?

Amen!

There are a lot of “mom gyms” today that have no 50lb discs, and a very small selection of free weights. Their dumbbells top out at 30lbs.

And the benches have no place to rest the bar.

Heavy, free weights are a liability risk and drive away women. And that’s at least 1/2 of their paying clientele.

It’s all about machines now. Machines everywhere. And “personal trainers”.

Even Gold’s has succumbed to survive, check the link:

And “group exercise”...Pilates, Yoga, Spinning etc.

It’s all about machines now. Machines everywhere. And “personal trainers”.

And "lite" workouts of course.

the crap pot growers (heavy metals, etc) are introducing to the process.

Growers don't "introuduce" heavy metals - cannabis, like a number of other plant species, is naturally a hyperaccumulator of metals.

There are studies that show that hemp might be used as a “concentrator” of rare earth elements. So a “use” besides the “party use”.
