Marijuana and BJJ

I like to...helps me focus more and some times i get an energy boost after smokin a spliff
 
Back in the day I used to smoke with one of my Sensei's before class. It didn't make make throws any easier, but I loved it for mat work.

I am a strong, athletic guy and am constantly moving at turbo speed. When I'm blazed I'm calm, cool and can focus on technique better. That being said, while my instructor is talking I can't pay attention for more than 2seconds before my mind drifts, making it bad from that stand point.

But..now I'm older, got kids and a good job and even though I probably wouldn't get caught by the police, I can't chance it anymore.
 
I smoke a lot but very rarely do it before class. When I have in the past I don't like the way I feel and think during class. I either gas quickly, feel like crap from all the movement, or stare at my hand and trip out instead of paying attention during instruction. I pretty much have to smoke when I get home though because I am so exhausted.

The most annoying thing about smoking and bjj is that everyone in my class knows I smoke and constantly gives me shit for it. If I ever say I'm tired someone will respond with "why because you are HIGH?!?" and they're always joking with the cop in our class who works in narcotics that I have a "pound of weed in my car" or that I'm selling drugs or that I'm high, wtf! He doesn't care though and thinks it is funny.
 
Since this topic comes up every other week I that's proof weed fucks your attention span skills. Another thing baked dudes don't understand is being baked is as obvious as being drunk. It's more than the smell on your breath or clothes, it's in your voice and the way you act.
 
nickel. said:
yes, this topic yet again.

But i am only interested in hearing from people who actually smoke (vape, eat, or injest other wise) marijuana and train bjj.

Do you smoke before you roll, or just after to calm down and relax? How do you feel weed affects your bjj game positively or negatively? How often do you blaze? Every time you train or just every once in a while? How long have you been training and how long have you been blazing?

Again if you don't smoke weed, i don't really care what you have to say. I am only interested in hearing from current or former pot users who train bjj and have something of insight, value, or interest to add to this thread.

And yes i used the search function and found a lot of shitty threads. So haters stay out. Let's keep this one relitavely close to topic and of relivence.

For the record i do blaze, sometimes before sometimes after. I'm just interested in hearing from different people and their different experiences with weed and jits.

so now you can lay between some dudes legs for longer ! Wake up boy ! Smoke after to think how the training went & what it did for you !
 
Ive had good and bad experiences with it.

Trained for a year
smoked for 2 years on and off
 
I don't see a problem as long as you are following correct protocol and passing the dutchie 'pon de left hand side.
 
if ur gonna do it before class, vape.

however, i think if u need to smoke weed to be relaxed for jiu jitsu, then your obviously missing the point of training jiu jitsu. rolling relaxed is the BEST way to roll, but it must be learned, not smoked lol

however again, i love to smoke, love love love it. esp after rolling, hanging with friends, playing music yada yada.
 
I smoke an average of say once a week, sometimes more sometimes less. I've never been high for a class though. I get too paranoid/weird to be around a group of people that I have to pay close attention to.

I'm curious as to how it would affect my rolling though.
 
I have two guys in my class that I KNOW smoke at some point during the day before class. ones breath always wreaks of dirty bong water, and the other smells like he just hotboxed his car on the way over.

I dont give a shit if they are high, but I fucking hate it when people stink (BO included...)
 
i smoked regularly before i started bjj and now i smoke regularly that ive started bjj.

i just like smoking :) i find its very relaxing after a tough class but i also find it relaxing after anything lol

btw, any serious pothead has a vaporizer. To the ppl that think spotting a pothead is very obv they prob dont know alot of hardcore potheads, it doesnt make you stink or act weird if you vape and have a high tolerance, just gives me a nice calm feeling. Ive been smoking pretty regularly for about 13 years btw and only started vaping about 2 years ago and its saved me alot of time $, pot and it doesnt stink

Shut the fuck up.

Tell that to the smokers I know been doing this shit for over 30 years and still swear by the bong/pipe.

The fact that you call yourself a "pothead" is also a bit retarded.

relax bro, no need to get all douchebag on me. go smoke something and chill.
 
For some people, probably people with add and anxiety, like me, smokin weed helps, it doesnt help with cardio and being athletic but it helps with my thought process. Not that I couldn't think without weed but I'm more calmer. IMO I'd be better off not smoking weed and training sober. I have a prescription and smoke daily but when I plan on training harder I would need to take a break from blazin.

Does it help, kinda, will it benefit everyone? No

/thread
 
I have a vaporizer, that helps

Plus when I smoke weed I don't smoke it till it's ash I'm usually emptying burnt greens out, after the first hit the bowl is gone and ur just left smokin carbon based plant

If u blaze and train don't suck ur bowls through just barely burn them or use a vape, don't hold your hits in blow it out quickly, do this with tiny bowls, ur lungs will thank u

This has been a public service announcement

The more you know (ding)
 
I am going to organize sherdog's first annual blazers vs squares grappling tournament, it will be team based and the winners win this debate through controlled violence heehee
 
Does anybody know of anyone that had experience eating an edible before class and training? That would be hysterical; I need entertainment.
