I play futbol, smoke every day and it has absolutely no effect to my lungs or the amount of energy that I have. My personal belief is that it's different for every person and depending how they and their body reacts to cannabis. I would say to give it a try for yourself and if you notice a difference then you can just stop and your problem will go away.

yeah. but i dont smoke that much. some ppl on here be smoking none stop lol. its summer time, theres no sports in the summer. so i might smoke more. but when school starts back up again ill smoke less.

cannabis does not negativey effect the lungs at all. tobacco bunches up your lungs and kills the air sacs in your lungs called aveoli. cannabis contains thc which open up the lungs, which is why its good for asthma, and cannabis smoke stays in your major air ways in your lungs unlike tobacco which goes deep into your lungs. ive been smoking for a while now and im more physically fit than i was before i started. i also know alot of jocks who smoke weed. if your worried about it, id invest in a vaporizer

A joint or two every month wouldn't hurt if you're into sports like that. The trick is not to start smoking all heavily and stuff. I really don't think heavy smoking and sports mix, that's just my opinion. Some people probably can do it but me being the person that I am I honestly couldn't.

do it on the weekends

man, I don't think it fucks with you that bad.

I mean, for like a week I went out 'n skated while I smoked, I got so good at skating that week.

but that skating. Although I'd like to think if I played sports I'd be able to perform just as well.

Cannabis and sports dont really go well together but if you just smoke it occasionally you will be ok as long as you dont do it all the time.

At the end of the day i suppose it comes to whats more important to you sports or weed??

You need to do more research. Smoked cannabis does indeed affect the lungs negatively. It's not associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, but it does raise people's likelihood of developing pulmonary infections such as bronchitis or pneumonia, causes irritation and inflammation, reduces vital (lung) capacity, diminishes oxygen saturation, and, over time, diminishes the elasticity of the alveoli. There are other negative pulmonary consequences, too. Any inhaled burning vegetable matter does this. If people could ingest THC alone without the rest of the cannabis combustion by-products, it'd be much better for their pulmonary health. But inhaled cannabis smoke is not good for the lungs.

Cannabis smoke, by the way, doesn't only stay in the major airways, or bronchial tubes/bronchioles. That is yet another persistent myth. The bronchial tubes and bronchioles aren't set up for 02-C02 gas-exchange. All inhalant transfer, whether we're talking about oxygen/air, anesthesia, cigarette smoke, cannabis smoke, or other inhalable recreational substances that we can't discuss here, occurs through the alveoli, the tiny air sacs. The other parts of the lungs are simply designed to expand to help transport the air or inhalants to the alveoli.
