The toke after....mmmmmmmmm
i felt baked recently after running a mile then playing mad basketball...i sat down and i was in a haze
when i used to be a health and excersise nut before i was 17 i was serious into riding bmx i went to comps all over the place and the amount of time i would spend on my bike day after day, i felt soooo good i was always happy never tired i could always sleep never depressed its amazing what alot of excersise and good food can make u feel then i tried pot it made things better but after a year its all i wanted to do and i got really lazy now i feel like shit alot of times and i look like shit
i dont ever feel high after exercising... i work out 5 times a week for an hour and go to muay thai classes twice a week for 1.5 hr. i feel REALLY high right after i exercise and then spark a nice bowl though :)/
They aren't blazed from smoking ganja, or at least I don't think they are. They probably have "runner's high," which is different. I don't think Anandamide reduces the constriction on the veins in one's eye, like Cannabis, and causes bloodshot eyes. So I don't see why you'd think that they'd have to look baked after they run...Quote:

Anandamide is also responsible for removing unnecessary short term memories.
I was analyzing my mental state after a hard day of work last night, and I realized that my memory functioned very similar to being high.
Also, the brain emits Dopamine as a pain killer which is also a big contributor to the runners high as well as the marijuana high, i'm pretty sure.
Ok, no, exercise does not release endorphins or dopamine. Nobody ever said it released dopamine, so I don't know where you got that idea, but it was a very popular belief that it released endorphines. However, modern research has since debunked this endorphin theory.
Infact, the very beginning of the article states why they were studying this in the first place:
And the title of one of their references:Quote:

I am not, in any way, trying to say that smoking pot is as healthy as exercising, but they might give similar mental pleasure.Quote:
Runner’s high? Endorphins? Fiction say some scientists.
I do both, regularily. I run 20 minutes every day, which is enough to give me a mild sedating feeling (not quite the runner's high that kicks in WHILE running), and it helps reduce pot tolerance.
smokin pot takes the place of exercise unless your an "in shape" stoner, or maybe you are a "spare tire" stoner. muahaha
