Does smoking pot negatively affect running ability?

Question

Any facts or personal experiences would be nice...

I'm a high school cross country runner.

Answer 1

Inhaling smoke period does damage to the lungs which will inhibit your running abilities....just don't smoke period....You're too young to be smoking anything.  If you have to ask a question like this then you still have a lot of growing up to do, physically AND emotionally.

Answer 2

probably does, since smoking pot does not positively affect running ability

Answer 3

Yes. In running your lungs are a very effective part.

Answer 4

yes it does  ~  because the more you do it, the greater the chance you'll forget where you are when you're out running and end up lost forever . . . oh yeah and if you want to be good at running, it's stupid . . .

Answer 5

h**l YES!  It kills your brain cells and thus your motor neurons won't be able to be sent out to your muscles to tell them to move.  If you want to be a pro-runner then you MUST take care of your health.

Answer 6

ahahahahahahahahaha YEA!

Answer 7

Smoking anything will negatively impact your running ability. It will decrease your lung capacity by coating your air sacks with tar! You'll probably get the munchies and eat some really bad food as well, which will really bog you down.

Answer 8

DUH it kills brain cells and it affects your lungs to make it harder to breath when you run

PLUS you're in high school you be smoking pot anyway
