Yikes, whoever said that it did?! I mean, I know that some of the youngsters are under the false impression that weed is some kind of miraculous wonder drug, but are there really athletes out there who think they can run faster or kick a ball straighter or bike longer by being stoned? Seriously?
Least surprising headline ever.
The first few times - probably felt good to be wasted while running.
After that , it’s the same.
Working out is work.
I guess I’ll stick to scotch as my pre workout.

Seriously, who possibly thought pot could help?
It does for hackeysack
Ya....in my own study 50 years ago, it was pretty clear that it slowed reaction times and concentration....
Baloney! The Legalize Marijuana advocates claim that using marijuana will raise the dead, make the blind see, cause the lame to walk, and perform all miracles and wonders. If only the possession of marijuana is legalized, we will be living once again in the Garden of Eden. It will end all wars, end poverty, end ingrowing toenails. Mankind will not have to work and toil to live. My question is:
Everyone alive in the 1960s knows that.
Marijuana boosts couch and TV time and Dorita consumption...but exercise? Not at all.
What does boost athletic performance is a strong cup of coffee.
I ride a road bike at the local state park (very hilly) every week and have kept records for many years on Strava.com. I can look at my records and tell by looking at my average speed and HR when I have had coffee before a ride.
When are they going to make it illegal to not praise marijuana?
