Yes, indirectly all kinds of things affect testosterone. The reverse argument can probably be made, though, for people in chronic pain using medical marijuana.
Yes, lowers testosterone and drops sperm count, which has been known since the 70s.
Not really, scythians mostly just became other tribes, integrated with some, and made it as far as Japan. Their end has more to do with population diffusion and name changes than any conquest or direct battle loss (not saying they were invincible but they had a well earned reputation as good warriors or at least Herodotus thought so).
>Carthaginians >sacrificed children for power from moloch >outsourced military >heavily mercantile economy
Yeah, they took over the world, but it won't be for much longer
The Swedish herule tribe was the most likely founders of the scythians.
A tribe later mixing with other tribes that continued the same cultures in different beliefs/religious worship
the swedish herule just being faster to evolve and become more organised because germanic tribes are more likely to flourish
ancient tribes, overarching into visigoths, ostrogoths to later viking heathendom,
still famous for eating magic mushrooms and drinking mead
Only difference with germanic tribes being set in stone about the balance of strength, wisdom and discipline.
youre only admitting that youre a slave to products or devoid of selfdiscipline
Keep not the mead cup but drink thy measure;
speak needful words or none:
none shall upbraid thee for lack of breeding

Your timeline is off anon. Scythians are descendants of Cimmerians and heruli are Roman to Germanic migration periods after the ascending period of scythian history.

Also, there is an argument that the shared culture goes back to the Goths and migrating to sweden but keep in mind Germanics are highly mixed with Haplogroup I1 which exploded in prevalence during the Nordic Bronze age so Germanics are a slightly different branch of IE even though they retain the majority of horse sacrifice and ritual practices of IE cultures (including Kurgan and Chariot Burials which became boat Burials later on).

regardless, this warrior mentality and war-like beliefsystem is at its essence all the same
the balance of the three, found in many cultures around europe.
all through history weve been exposed to drug trades and wealth/authority above most common men
opium, weed, mead, wine, ale, slaves and yet the only civilization/culture weve ever been exposed to
thats has ever been destroyed was due to massmigration & loss of group identity like the roman empire.
A man of Woden is able to drink, smoke and be exposed to all the luxuries under the sun clearly
I'm not anti drug, but I don't think it's necessary to be a warrior. A lot of the best mercenaries of the modern era / best leaders have been fairly sober personalities who liked to drink occasionally. Someone like Churchill, who was an obvious alcoholic, was not only responsible for destroying his empire but looked slovenly and was weak as an old man. A man like Franco or Mike Hoare were sober and brilliant in their thinking / strategy. The warrior cultures / drinking hall culture was not an everyday thing, there was still discipline and training of the barracks. Celt's would penalize men who's bellies extended over their belt because they needed sharp military men to lead. Greeks and Romans trained their bodies for the rigors of war. The Germanics, though they lifted stones, drilled and wrestled. The scythian use of heroin and marijuana makes sense in the same context as how Taliban warlords use those substances in warfare today not as much as how a Scandinavian berserker (has was a social outcast) would use mushrooms before battle.
the only time i felt depression in my life was when I smoked weed and it wasnt even that often
It puts away your entire day
Makes experiencing things normally boring
Gives you anxiety
Ruins your sleep
As soon as I realised this shit was ruining my life I stopped and the "depression" went away
i smoke weed
a lot of it
sativa all day
it fricks with your blood pressure
and it fricks with your blood sugar and your liver
you have to eat every few hours or your blood pressure actaully falls, if your starving and high you can easily pass out, it happened to me every morning before work untili i realized it
you have to maintain high cardio
this seems to offset most of the negatives
you have to keep your blood sugar up like a diabetic almost, but eating healthy is diff
it fricks your dick up
the cardio helps tho
it actually led me to cardio in 30. actually cardio is so important
Black person, you should do all those things without drugs. Just sayin. Just open your eyes to a possibility that you may be heavily addicted to a substance since you praise it for every achievement in your life. Sad.
It's not that different from a heroin user who says he only feels happy when using.
the other question is why do you smoke
i smoke sativa all day
its like a pick me up ciggarete
makes hard labor much more bearable and it helps with things like altitutd and excersise
sativa and indica are great pre workout in opinon
but the best is probably just straight coffee
indica will make you lazy and put you to sleep
if you smoke this during the day
your sorta moronic and arent doing anything
you save indica for night or midday
but sativa is a different drug almost
its more like a ciggarete
as much as i do know there is estrogen in pot
lol somtimes i have episodes almost like pms cryng over animals or some shit lol
but i dont thing its as much as food
you see
i dont have breasts
i know many of freinds who have mcdonands made breasts
Your posts inspired me to quit weed after 11 years of smoking.
This doesn’t work for me. Both indica and sativa makes me unable to do shit like work. Even if I can move I’m just mentally unable. I have to do anything productive I have planned that day before

Does anyone have any actual evidence to suggest it lowers Test? Not personal experience, but hard evidence like an actual study or research paper or something that isn't >my buddy said he knew a guy who swore it lowered T levels
It directly affects fertility which implies it does have an effect on gonads. Some studies have found direct correlation between lower test and weed and a nother Danish study shows not a huge effect. Don't get too invested in scientific studies, most are subject to the replication crisis (lots of studies can't be replicated). I'd say use observation and anecdotal experience over some Harvard study. Most people who regularly smoke pot are weak as adult men vs a lot of people who occasionally smoke or don't smoke seem more put together and retain more strength as they age.
Yes, it's called the replication crisis and modern academia is a joke. What about what I said is invalid? I told people to trust their anecdotal experience over some new study.
The "replication crisis" is a cope to excuse bad science. There are plenty of studies that ARE able to be replicated and advising people to trust anecdotal experience is, in the most simple terms, a moronic stance to take.
There are good studies, but there are thousands more studies with ridiculous claims. Especially when it comes to nutrition and exercise science which is the majority of what this board will end up looking at. Anecdotal experience (bro science) is much better than most of the studies you will ever encounter.
I'm a daily token but part of the IST category. Training daily for 7 years, learning some kinda language all the time and on the side I also try to develop a skill yo varying degrees. I live on my own by my own means and I'm comfortable but not wealthy at all, just enough to save and still have a good time on the weekends.
What kinda percentage of well out together men like myself fall into as a stoner?
Same, been lifting for 8 years, probably more fit than most people, even top 15% at the gym. I lift for 90mins then run 1-2 miles. Eat healthy whole foods, my sleep is bad but thats not because of weed.
Engineer making 150k and always felt smarter than my peers but like a typical “born gifted burnout” i smoked daily for 6 years because it helped with a stomach issues moving food. I also like how it basically “slowed my brain down”
The people who say weed makes you dumb and slow are probably moronic to begin with. For me my brain is so damn fast and always active, slowing it down a bit actually helps me out a ton. I don’t smoke as much anymore but for other reasons. Still do a small hit here and there on my relaxing off days.
Nothing like working and lifting hard all week then doing a chill wake and bake session sat morning. Spend all sat cooking, eating good food, foam rolling (weed is amazing to massage and find those knots) and taking naps to recover. It helps a lot with my appetite im naturally very skinny and need to eat more to gain muscle. Even during my d2 college years, competing in state oly lifting, and mma i would smoke afterwards.
>The people who say weed makes you dumb and slow
It's the opposite for me. Weed makes my mind really active.
Couple of hits and going for a walk is really meditative for me, I can easily think through my problems etc. that way.
Damn maybe that's why none of the chicks I came inside got pregnant. Id say it's a plus though.

People who smoke every day usually don’t exercise a lot, which is a much more likely explanation for their weakness than low testosterone.
That guy that did the weed version of super sized me got an increased sperm count.
I think it was called super high me. It was just a guy that smoked a ton of weed every day for a month and tracked what happened to him with a bunch of tests from doctors.
Interesting. I mostly thought that it was fake because most claims in threads like these are fake and it’s usually impossible to get people to back their claims up.
I’ve smoked weed for a while and have had testicular cancer.

What happened with your cancer? Did you lose a testicle or was it caught early and not a big deal?

Yeah it’s gone. The ball was enormous, like a whole chicken egg was inside it. But it was still considered caught early because it had only been a few weeks (at least less than 2 months) since I first noticed something)
Anyone smart who's had any experience with it quickly realizes this and quits in disgust.
If after years of smoking it you haven't figured this out, you already were a brainlet to begin with.
Don't befriend potheads and don't hang around with them. You are the company you keep.
i think he meant in the sense that its not clearly defined, like alcohol is obviously a depressant, but weed is variously classed as stimulant, psychotropic, etc since its effects is not so clear
i took a T break. wanted it to be a full 60 days, but figures yesterday (at 54 days) that i was enough and one more week wouldn't make a huge difference
took a 20mg edible before a cardio session, got a good sweat going, later on (about an hour later) it hit me. was a pretty decent high. nothing crazy.
the issue is afterwards, maybe 2 hours afterwards when my energy crashed. again. taking the T break was to get rid of the energy crash. is almost 60 days not enough? am i taking the wrong type of edible? should i have taken it after the workout?
i am trying to figure this shit out. as a side note, my energy is lower in general when it is cloudy and i feel a lot better when it is bright and sunny and it was cloudy yesterday. maybe i should stick to weed only on sunny days.
(btw the fact that I live in California but it is still cloudy in fricking mid-april is pissing me the frick off I should be getting ridiculous amounts of sunlight)
>am i taking the wrong type of edible?
possibly, some strains are known to have a hard comedown relative to others. Try asking the guy at the pot store if he knows any he has that are easy on the comedown
Since you’re in California get yourself either Mary’s Medicinals: The Remedy 1:1 or Papa & Barkley. Both are tinctures so they are easier to dose than edibles and will be more economical. Both are effective for endurance cardio and longer events. Don’t know if it’s the CBD content but they seem to have a relaxing effect on tight muscles and help with leg soreness.
A haze? Typically skunk strains produce a more mellow high. Improved mind body connection maybe?
If you can go boutique fellow stoner bro, your looking for some skittelz, skittelz and girl scout do the trick for me, just a single dab or half a pin joint is enough. You want the passive effects and not a foggy high. Lots of clarity on girl scout have fantastic pump there, really encourages that extra set or extra kilo then usual.
Skittelze usually taste good and gsc is one of my favorite strains. My all time favorite sativa's are probably sour diesel, chemdawg, Durban poison. I don't feel like haze is known for it's mellowness but I haven't lived in medical/rec state for years. I feel like it's as dependant on the person as the strain unless we're talking indicas which usually makes me lethargic.
It's not a popular strain but my favorite for the most functional light happy sativa is w99.
how do you get organic stuff or grow it yourself?
i briefly looked at a growing tutorial, you have to have a dedicated 'growing room' with equipment and temperature control and shit, that is too much for me
weed is basically the ultimate Black personcattle drug
>puts users in a calmer, more complacent state >makes you want to sit around on the couch and consooom >"opens your mind" aka makes you suggestable to shit you would have normally said no to and makes low IQ people feel enlightened >provides a temporary escape from the bad shit that might be going on in your life >non-lethal even in huge amounts, solving for the problem with opioids >fricks up your dopamine receptors after enough use to where you only feel rewarded/relaxed if you're high >addictive and has its own withdrawl symptoms (though not as bad as other drugs) keeping you looped in to being a pacified state
fortunately, decades of pop culture telling people that it's a fun and harmless and cool plant with medical benefits, coupled with your average person having absolutely 0 ambition to do anything with their lives anyways, has gotten rid of the old-fashioned views that the devil's lettuce will do you any harm. most gays who smoke daily and claim it's just a normal part of their routine would be in utter fricking shambles if they went without it for more than a week
they hate him, because he spoke the truth
t. daily user
I recently quit for 3 months and for the first few weeks I noticed an energy increase but after a while I mostly just felt exactly the same minus being able to relax.
/thread, not to mention all of the studies now conveniently coming out (after everyone is addicted to it now) showing all the negative perma-effects it has on the brain (especially for younger people) as well as the heart and God knows what else.
i dont get how people can use it for strength training. surely you can just feel how it takes away that aggression (high test) which helped to to power thru. cardio maybe since being all zoned out could make it seem easier
People who do that are addicted and need it to function and do difficult tasks at all. Weed is like taking an anti-pre-workout before lifting, it is really dumb and potentially dangerous.
best strain for sex on edibles? never found out what i took once but sex was so amazing. we came so much and put her birth control to the test that day
how do you homies fight dehydration while high?
i drink plenty of water and it makes me piss a whole bunch but it still doesn't seem to 'fully' hydrate me. it's fricking weird. still get dry mouth and dry lips and still feel a bit weak during cardio.
>improves appetite so you can eat big >makes you sleep like a baby >makes you relaxed and euphoric and less stressed unless you are an anxious pussy, then it makes it worse
There's a difference between falling asleep easier and getting good quality sleep. When you use weed on a daily basis as a habit, your ability and desire to sleep, eat, and "relax" become tied to using it. If you use occasionally, I don't think that's a problem though.
Some people can sleep well on weed but for me and many others, weed is like circumcision for my sleep. I can’t sleep for hours after smoking and then it’s often low quality sleep.
I smoke weed fairly regularly. I think it should be legal but I wouldn't encourage someone to smart smoking if they don't already. It's a fairly mild drug all things considered but it's not harmless. You shouldn't smoke if you have important obligations or responsibilities that require full alertness, but it can be a fun way to unwind at the end of the day. Smoking on the weekend or having a bowl before bed won't kill you anymore than having a beer after work will, but if you're a hardcore pothead taking dabs or smoking 35% THC hits every day, it'll have a greater impact
You’re a fricking idiot. 99% of studies show that marijuana negatively affects testosterone in a variety of animals and humans. ONE study at a time when western governments are pushing to legalize weed in order to sedate their populations at a time of a declining standard of living and continual reduction in freedoms contradicts that and since you want to be a moronic degenerate pothead it’s definitely true.
https://i.imgur.com/DbzDJmK.jpeg
Does weed affect testosterone?
Even if weed doesn’t affect testosterone, it makes you fricking moronic. Nobody who smokes weed regularly has a fully functioning brain. Not a single person. They’re all fricking morons who can’t even realize how fricking stupid they are.
Dude who I live with has been smoking since a good 30 years and he's a total bum. The dope made him lazy and moronic. If one uses it often it is truly a negative drug.

Cannabis only causes problems to the brain if you're under 25, like literally any other drug used heavily and often under that age.
Your opinions are ALL because of this fact :
- Heavy / Regular cannabis usage is BAD for your BRAIN but only IF it has not finished developping, which ends at age 25.
Here, read this :
https://www.phlabs.com/marijuana-isnt-as-harmless-for-those-under-25-as-you-think-here-are-some-startling-finds
This is exactly WHY I posted about how it's Bad for young people under 25, but it's absolutely fine for older people.
Because unlike you I actually know what I'm talking about.
If I could go back in time and stop myself from smoking as a teen, I would, trust me.
I even explain things in depth.
Cannabis acts differently on the brain before or after age 25.
Before age 25, it goes into and affects your brains grey matter, aka the outside layer of the brain, versus after 25 it goes into and affects your white matter, the inner layer of the brain.
This is not well known but apparently very important.
Bottom line is : I actually know what I'm talking about, unlike you.
>fuctioing
Stopped reading there bub, you are fuNctionally moronic. Stop smoking weed and start smoking real drugs that make you sharper if you have to suck on something.
Wow, it’s almost like it totally depends on your current situation. Undeniably weed is easy to abuse but when utilized properly it has its benefits. The problem is having a use disorder. Without any hangover, it has almost no downtime whatsoever. You can take that shit all the time. That is what makes lazy people. The type that was already lazy and was susceptible to abusing a drug that makes their laziness feel productive. Use it or don’t. I don’t care, but using it once won’t make you lose all ur gains.
Believe it or not there is a gray area between where using something in moderation is alright but too much is bad. There’s no in between with you tards.

Black person, you should do all those things without drugs. Just sayin. Just open your eyes to a possibility that you may be heavily addicted to a substance since you praise it for every achievement in your life. Sad.
It's not that different from a heroin user who says he only feels happy when using.
Your posts inspired me to quit weed after 11 years of smoking.
the other question is why do you smoke
i smoke sativa all day
its like a pick me up ciggarete
makes hard labor much more bearable and it helps with things like altitutd and excersise
sativa and indica are great pre workout in opinon
but the best is probably just straight coffee
indica will make you lazy and put you to sleep
if you smoke this during the day
your sorta moronic and arent doing anything
you save indica for night or midday
but sativa is a different drug almost
its more like a ciggarete
I've been smoking weed for 20 years and I think the "difference" between sativa and indica is a hoax
>tradecuck copes with substances for his shit life
A tail as old as thyme.
This doesn’t work for me. Both indica and sativa makes me unable to do shit like work. Even if I can move I’m just mentally unable. I have to do anything productive I have planned that day before
as much as i do know there is estrogen in pot
lol somtimes i have episodes almost like pms cryng over animals or some shit lol
but i dont thing its as much as food
you see
i dont have breasts
i know many of freinds who have mcdonands made breasts
It decreases it and gives you man boobs, however tobacco is androgenic. If you eat red meat and smoke cigars it will counter balance the marijuana.
Yes it turns you into pussy
Does anyone have any actual evidence to suggest it lowers Test? Not personal experience, but hard evidence like an actual study or research paper or something that isn't
>my buddy said he knew a guy who swore it lowered T levels
All weed smokers are lazy here's your evidence. Stimulantchads dab on them relentlessly and you will cope about our superiority.
So no? Because I smoke weed every day and I'm sitting here at my engineering job where I make just under $100k/year. So maybe (You) are just lazy.
Here comes the cope! Even if you're not lying (LMAO) you must realize you are one of the very, very few outliers.
Doesn’t say anything about weed effects on T
I've outworked guys half my age that chug energy drinks all day on the job. I just smoke a doobie and go to town. To each their own, I guess.
It directly affects fertility which implies it does have an effect on gonads. Some studies have found direct correlation between lower test and weed and a nother Danish study shows not a huge effect. Don't get too invested in scientific studies, most are subject to the replication crisis (lots of studies can't be replicated). I'd say use observation and anecdotal experience over some Harvard study. Most people who regularly smoke pot are weak as adult men vs a lot of people who occasionally smoke or don't smoke seem more put together and retain more strength as they age.

"Lots of studies can't be replicated"
That invalidates any conclusions drawn from them you absolute fricking mongoloid
Yes, it's called the replication crisis and modern academia is a joke. What about what I said is invalid? I told people to trust their anecdotal experience over some new study.
The "replication crisis" is a cope to excuse bad science. There are plenty of studies that ARE able to be replicated and advising people to trust anecdotal experience is, in the most simple terms, a moronic stance to take.
There are good studies, but there are thousands more studies with ridiculous claims. Especially when it comes to nutrition and exercise science which is the majority of what this board will end up looking at. Anecdotal experience (bro science) is much better than most of the studies you will ever encounter.
I'm a daily token but part of the IST category. Training daily for 7 years, learning some kinda language all the time and on the side I also try to develop a skill yo varying degrees. I live on my own by my own means and I'm comfortable but not wealthy at all, just enough to save and still have a good time on the weekends.
What kinda percentage of well out together men like myself fall into as a stoner?
Same, been lifting for 8 years, probably more fit than most people, even top 15% at the gym. I lift for 90mins then run 1-2 miles. Eat healthy whole foods, my sleep is bad but thats not because of weed.
Engineer making 150k and always felt smarter than my peers but like a typical “born gifted burnout” i smoked daily for 6 years because it helped with a stomach issues moving food. I also like how it basically “slowed my brain down”
The people who say weed makes you dumb and slow are probably moronic to begin with. For me my brain is so damn fast and always active, slowing it down a bit actually helps me out a ton. I don’t smoke as much anymore but for other reasons. Still do a small hit here and there on my relaxing off days.
Nothing like working and lifting hard all week then doing a chill wake and bake session sat morning. Spend all sat cooking, eating good food, foam rolling (weed is amazing to massage and find those knots) and taking naps to recover. It helps a lot with my appetite im naturally very skinny and need to eat more to gain muscle. Even during my d2 college years, competing in state oly lifting, and mma i would smoke afterwards.
>The people who say weed makes you dumb and slow
It's the opposite for me. Weed makes my mind really active.
Couple of hits and going for a walk is really meditative for me, I can easily think through my problems etc. that way.
Weed makes you a troony though and chemically castrates you.
Damn maybe that's why none of the chicks I came inside got pregnant. Id say it's a plus though.
Yeah man I’m not joking. Weed makes you a fricking troony. When I was smoking that shit all the time my dick was the size of a clit and my ass was becoming very shapely.
If anything weed makes my dick bigger cuz it expands blood vessels and also makes me hornier. I wasn't joking either I do not want kids.
Long term it makes you a troony troon.
>Just three more years bro
Lack of empathy is generally considered a sign of a low iq
Smoke your weed, sissy girl.
K homosexual
You must be really manly. Yesterday I spent 8 hours digging then got high AF and lifted for about 50 minutes then did 10 minutes and and ran for 20 minutes. Im guessing you probably lumber jacked for 12 hours then lifted for 2 hours, did a 20 minute ab workouts and ran for 40 min?
>lifted for about 50 minutes then did 10 minutes
You can't even form a coherent sentence, peabrained moron
People who smoke every day usually don’t exercise a lot, which is a much more likely explanation for their weakness than low testosterone.
That guy that did the weed version of super sized me got an increased sperm count.
and what is the weed analog of 'would you like to super-size that'?
I think it was called super high me. It was just a guy that smoked a ton of weed every day for a month and tracked what happened to him with a bunch of tests from doctors.

weed also causes testicular cancer

Interesting. I mostly thought that it was fake because most claims in threads like these are fake and it’s usually impossible to get people to back their claims up.
I’ve smoked weed for a while and have had testicular cancer.
What happened with your cancer? Did you lose a testicle or was it caught early and not a big deal?
Yeah it’s gone. The ball was enormous, like a whole chicken egg was inside it. But it was still considered caught early because it had only been a few weeks (at least less than 2 months) since I first noticed something)
Weed makes you lazy and moronic.
Anyone smart who's had any experience with it quickly realizes this and quits in disgust.
If after years of smoking it you haven't figured this out, you already were a brainlet to begin with.
Don't befriend potheads and don't hang around with them. You are the company you keep.
you never drink alcohol, like never.. ever ? at all ?
Curious that potheads ALWAYS need to compare their habit to something as nasty as alcohol to justify it.
I wonder why that is.
Nope because Allah said so
weed has got to be one of the most baffling things ever, even more so than cocaine. because its just so fricking mainstream.
alcohol even more baffling
>fricks your organs
>tanks test, raises estrogen
>destroys brain cells
>not even that good to begin with kek
i think he meant in the sense that its not clearly defined, like alcohol is obviously a depressant, but weed is variously classed as stimulant, psychotropic, etc since its effects is not so clear
I didn't used to cry until I started regularly smoking pot, now sappy movies make me tear up a little. Take that as you will
i took a T break. wanted it to be a full 60 days, but figures yesterday (at 54 days) that i was enough and one more week wouldn't make a huge difference
took a 20mg edible before a cardio session, got a good sweat going, later on (about an hour later) it hit me. was a pretty decent high. nothing crazy.
the issue is afterwards, maybe 2 hours afterwards when my energy crashed. again. taking the T break was to get rid of the energy crash. is almost 60 days not enough? am i taking the wrong type of edible? should i have taken it after the workout?
i am trying to figure this shit out. as a side note, my energy is lower in general when it is cloudy and i feel a lot better when it is bright and sunny and it was cloudy yesterday. maybe i should stick to weed only on sunny days.
(btw the fact that I live in California but it is still cloudy in fricking mid-april is pissing me the frick off I should be getting ridiculous amounts of sunlight)
>am i taking the wrong type of edible?
possibly, some strains are known to have a hard comedown relative to others. Try asking the guy at the pot store if he knows any he has that are easy on the comedown
>try asking some moronic loser if he knows anything
good luck phaggot
Since you’re in California get yourself either Mary’s Medicinals: The Remedy 1:1 or Papa & Barkley. Both are tinctures so they are easier to dose than edibles and will be more economical. Both are effective for endurance cardio and longer events. Don’t know if it’s the CBD content but they seem to have a relaxing effect on tight muscles and help with leg soreness.
does testosterone effect weed?
Only on leg days
>get home from long day of work
>Tired and not as motivated as usual to work out
>Hit weed
>Suddenly have energy and enjoy a great workout.
which strain?
i am looking for some energizing shit. i dont want to be tempted to skip workouts.
Blueberry haze
A haze? Typically skunk strains produce a more mellow high. Improved mind body connection maybe?
If you can go boutique fellow stoner bro, your looking for some skittelz, skittelz and girl scout do the trick for me, just a single dab or half a pin joint is enough. You want the passive effects and not a foggy high. Lots of clarity on girl scout have fantastic pump there, really encourages that extra set or extra kilo then usual.
Skittelze usually taste good and gsc is one of my favorite strains. My all time favorite sativa's are probably sour diesel, chemdawg, Durban poison. I don't feel like haze is known for it's mellowness but I haven't lived in medical/rec state for years. I feel like it's as dependant on the person as the strain unless we're talking indicas which usually makes me lethargic.
It's not a popular strain but my favorite for the most functional light happy sativa is w99.
Lack of quality sleep and chronically elevated stress hormones do in fact effect testosterone.
Yes 100%.
It disrupts sleep hormone secretion
It increases estrogen long term.
Weed probably is fine 1x a month but not fine 1x a day.
Ans weed is a drug and makes people seruously addicted. Weed smokers all are weird and not f7n tbh
It really depends on the weed too - only smoke your own plants. You never know what scumbags use as fertilizers and what they blend into their warez.
As for smoking for a long time - a friend of mine has been smoking daily for 3 decades and the weed has brought out his worst traits.
In the end - try (only organic) stuff for yourself and if you feel it harms you... stop.
how do you get organic stuff or grow it yourself?
i briefly looked at a growing tutorial, you have to have a dedicated 'growing room' with equipment and temperature control and shit, that is too much for me
>another glowie thread
Why do they even target weed? There is far more important stuff they can target.
weed is basically the ultimate Black personcattle drug
>puts users in a calmer, more complacent state
>makes you want to sit around on the couch and consooom
>"opens your mind" aka makes you suggestable to shit you would have normally said no to and makes low IQ people feel enlightened
>provides a temporary escape from the bad shit that might be going on in your life
>non-lethal even in huge amounts, solving for the problem with opioids
>fricks up your dopamine receptors after enough use to where you only feel rewarded/relaxed if you're high
>addictive and has its own withdrawl symptoms (though not as bad as other drugs) keeping you looped in to being a pacified state
fortunately, decades of pop culture telling people that it's a fun and harmless and cool plant with medical benefits, coupled with your average person having absolutely 0 ambition to do anything with their lives anyways, has gotten rid of the old-fashioned views that the devil's lettuce will do you any harm. most gays who smoke daily and claim it's just a normal part of their routine would be in utter fricking shambles if they went without it for more than a week
they hate him, because he spoke the truth
t. daily user
I recently quit for 3 months and for the first few weeks I noticed an energy increase but after a while I mostly just felt exactly the same minus being able to relax.
/thread, not to mention all of the studies now conveniently coming out (after everyone is addicted to it now) showing all the negative perma-effects it has on the brain (especially for younger people) as well as the heart and God knows what else.
>conveniently coming out (after everyone is addicted to it now)
or maybe because it's legalized and easier to form up group studies
i dont get how people can use it for strength training. surely you can just feel how it takes away that aggression (high test) which helped to to power thru. cardio maybe since being all zoned out could make it seem easier
I feel like I lift slower and think harder about my form and I feel a much more intense burn when stoned.
Feeling is for women, homosexual. Keep smoking your sissification plant.
weed makes cardio awful. Stretching feels amazing on it though.
People who do that are addicted and need it to function and do difficult tasks at all. Weed is like taking an anti-pre-workout before lifting, it is really dumb and potentially dangerous.
best strain for sex on edibles? never found out what i took once but sex was so amazing. we came so much and put her birth control to the test that day
how do you homies fight dehydration while high?
i drink plenty of water and it makes me piss a whole bunch but it still doesn't seem to 'fully' hydrate me. it's fricking weird. still get dry mouth and dry lips and still feel a bit weak during cardio.
I chew gum for the cotton mouth
2 years ago my test was 534, now its 627 and I consume tons of weed, so probably not, at least in my case.
>improves appetite so you can eat big
>makes you sleep like a baby
>makes you relaxed and euphoric and less stressed unless you are an anxious pussy, then it makes it worse
All of these things improves test.
There's a difference between falling asleep easier and getting good quality sleep. When you use weed on a daily basis as a habit, your ability and desire to sleep, eat, and "relax" become tied to using it. If you use occasionally, I don't think that's a problem though.
Some people can sleep well on weed but for me and many others, weed is like circumcision for my sleep. I can’t sleep for hours after smoking and then it’s often low quality sleep.
>makes you relaxed and euphoric and less stressed unless you are an anxious pussy, then it makes it worse
kek this is me
I smoke weed fairly regularly. I think it should be legal but I wouldn't encourage someone to smart smoking if they don't already. It's a fairly mild drug all things considered but it's not harmless. You shouldn't smoke if you have important obligations or responsibilities that require full alertness, but it can be a fun way to unwind at the end of the day. Smoking on the weekend or having a bowl before bed won't kill you anymore than having a beer after work will, but if you're a hardcore pothead taking dabs or smoking 35% THC hits every day, it'll have a greater impact
It turns you gay
many such cases
The real red pill is daily CBD weed
smoke thc weed occassionally or only at night. Super gains from this
Yeah super gyno gains you fricking troony.
i smoked weed once and became trans, its your gamble op
You’re a fricking idiot. 99% of studies show that marijuana negatively affects testosterone in a variety of animals and humans. ONE study at a time when western governments are pushing to legalize weed in order to sedate their populations at a time of a declining standard of living and continual reduction in freedoms contradicts that and since you want to be a moronic degenerate pothead it’s definitely true.
Even if weed doesn’t affect testosterone, it makes you fricking moronic. Nobody who smokes weed regularly has a fully functioning brain. Not a single person. They’re all fricking morons who can’t even realize how fricking stupid they are.
Dude who I live with has been smoking since a good 30 years and he's a total bum. The dope made him lazy and moronic. If one uses it often it is truly a negative drug.
>You’re a fricking idiot. 99% of studies show that marijuana negatively affects testosterone in a variety of animals and humans.
Objectively false statement.
Your bias is showing.
This is a Systematic Review of all the Studies on the Effects of Cannabis, meaning this paper takes into account 100% / ALL the studies on the topic in existence, okay??
> Studies of hormonal changes suggest inconclusive effects on testosterone levels, lowered luteinizing hormone levels and unchanged follicle-stimulating hormone levels
https://www.auajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1097/JU.0000000000000248
Wow, "Inconclusive". How about that.
Literally what I wrote in my original post.
So I was right, from the start.
I was 100% correct.
You however are 100% wrong, as you still refuse to understand that you were lied to, o at least, heavily misguided.
Again, this is not "one study"', this is a SYSTEMATIC review, of ALL the studies that exist on the topic.
Meaning that this is pretty much the Scientific Consensus on the matter.
Get fricked.
Now, you said :
>negatively affects testosterone in a variety of animals and humans
The studies that have been done on animals does show reduced fertility and libido, however these results were not reproduced on humans, as is shown in that systematic review.
cont.
>Even if weed doesn’t affect testosterone, it makes you fricking moronic
That's an opinion, not a fact.
You're allowed to have you own opinions, I don't mind.
>Nobody who smokes weed regularly has a fully functioning brain. Not a single person.
Arnold was a regular potsmoker when he was in his prime.
So the literal God of Fitness himself does not have a fuctioing brain?
What about the millions, or should I say hundred of millions of cannabis users worldwide that live perfectly normal lives despite smoking weed?
Engineers? Scientists? Artists?
There's plenty of weed smokers way smarter than you or I.
Cannabis doesn't really lower IQ, except verbal IQ, a bit, ads it affects verbal memory and it's a temporary effect of course.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/marijuana-may-not-lower-your-iq/
Cannabis only causes problems to the brain if you're under 25, like literally any other drug used heavily and often under that age.
Your opinions are ALL because of this fact :
- Heavy / Regular cannabis usage is BAD for your BRAIN but only IF it has not finished developping, which ends at age 25.
Here, read this :
https://www.phlabs.com/marijuana-isnt-as-harmless-for-those-under-25-as-you-think-here-are-some-startling-finds
This is exactly WHY I posted about how it's Bad for young people under 25, but it's absolutely fine for older people.
Because unlike you I actually know what I'm talking about.
If I could go back in time and stop myself from smoking as a teen, I would, trust me.
I even explain things in depth.
Cannabis acts differently on the brain before or after age 25.
Before age 25, it goes into and affects your brains grey matter, aka the outside layer of the brain, versus after 25 it goes into and affects your white matter, the inner layer of the brain.
This is not well known but apparently very important.
Bottom line is : I actually know what I'm talking about, unlike you.
>fuctioing
Stopped reading there bub, you are fuNctionally moronic. Stop smoking weed and start smoking real drugs that make you sharper if you have to suck on something.
HOLY BASED
Also unlucky I smoked when I was younger, and do edibles now at 23 every now and then. Is it over?
Not sure but it's depressive effects turn most people in to disarmed idiots for large swaths of the day.
Wow, it’s almost like it totally depends on your current situation. Undeniably weed is easy to abuse but when utilized properly it has its benefits. The problem is having a use disorder. Without any hangover, it has almost no downtime whatsoever. You can take that shit all the time. That is what makes lazy people. The type that was already lazy and was susceptible to abusing a drug that makes their laziness feel productive. Use it or don’t. I don’t care, but using it once won’t make you lose all ur gains.
Believe it or not there is a gray area between where using something in moderation is alright but too much is bad. There’s no in between with you tards.

As if you have any measurable testosterone in the first place.
Marijuana is like a crazy, jealous girlfriend. The two of you together alone is incredible. But it will isolate you from everything and everyone, delay your life and even so, you will think about it 24 hours a day and it will be the most important thing in your life.
Plus: makes you dumber by the week
