Boxing and marijuana?

Well, right now I'm learning how to box for self defense but I have a serious problem...either I'm really out of shape or the marijuana wont allow me to stay up for a long time...when ever I start doing like 50 push-ups I rest for a while then I try to shadow box...I run out of breath QUICKLY I feel like I'll die if I dont catch my breath lol..so now it's time for a sad but serious question..should I stop to improve my supply of air or are my lungs just already effected?..i'm not blaming marijuana, I'm blaming the smoke..I would eat it if the high's werent so intense..

It wont be the weed. The THC helps you breathe. It dialates the bronchial tubes and the whole throat, thats why it helps people with asthma.

I'll tel you know, that not many kids your age could do 50 push ups.

You need to do some cardio/breathing work out stuff, but trust me, its not the weed.

Lol hey it's the only thing I can get my hands on...people at the desk of those damn bodega's say I'm too young to buy tobacco products and I used to be able to get Zigzags so not that much anymore so I deal with what I can :p...do you really think computer paper harms my health? I mean..now that I think about it, what if zigzags are meant to be burnt but computer paper isnt even though they are both papers? :[

I dunno, i think computer paper has glues and chems on it for it to be a bit stronger. Also its alot thicker. Im not sure, but i wouldnt advice it, although... Well if its the only thing you got then thats it really, but its not the best thing for you.

Have you ever smoked out of a bong? Why not make a bong. Then you get rid of the tar, plant matter, paper and fibers, then you'd just be gettting the THC and a little smoke from the material.

I think that might be the better option if you cant get hold of zigs.

Talking about them, i lost a pack so now im on Rizla's

well if this helps, me and my guys used to locker box all the time. You find out very quickly how draining boxing is. So really it might just be your body telling you that you're not in the best boxing shape. Seriously after one round we would all be huffin' and a puffin'. I have great endurance for soccer, but even I was struggling for air. You just gotta train train train and soon your wind will last longer, and you can knock some cats out in the 8th round TKO lol.

when i was 12 i used to go karate class, just before we would smoke bongs. i could do 150 pushups just control your breathing and dont let it get too haphazard

Don't worry dude - you just out of shape. I'm a bodybuilder and I also smoke (obviously) so I can tell you that smoking does have an impact on your stamina, but although its harder to get in shape it's still possible. Keep smokin dude and just work hard. Eventually you won't even get tired.
