    Well, its better than drinking on cycle. Do I smoke? Hell no, I need my lungs and heart to run at full potential. I have seen Marcus Ruehl smoke cigarettes tho, which I thought was pretty dumb.

    It depends what your smoking. I just found this, thought it was intresting:

    Antiestrogenic effects of marijuana smoke condensate and cannabinoid compounds.

    Lee SY, Oh SM, Lee SK, Chung KH.

    National Institute of Scientific Investigation, Seoul, Korea.

    The antiestrogenic effects of marijuana smoke condensate (MSC) and three major cannabinoids, ie., delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN), were evaluated using in vitro bioassays, viz., the human breast cancer cell proliferation assay, the recombinant human estrogen receptor (ER) competitive binding assay, and the reporter gene assay. The inhibitory effects on estrogen were also examined using the ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) assay, the aromatase assay, and the 17beta-estradiol (E2) metabolism assay. The results showed that MSC induced the antiestrogenic effect via the ER-mediated pathway, while THC, CBD, and CBN did not have any antiestrogenic activity. This suggests that the combined effects of the marijuana smoke components are responsible for the antiestrogenicity of marijuana use. In addition, MSC induced the CYP1A activity and the E2 metabolism, but inhibited the aromatase activity, suggesting that the antiestrogenic activity of MSC is also related to the indirect ER-dependent pathway, as a result of the depletion of the in situ E2 level available to bind to the ER. In conclusion, pyrogenic products including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the non-polar fraction, which is the most biologically active fraction among the seven fractions of MSC, might be responsible for the antiestrogenic effect.

    I always thought marijuana increased your estrogen and lowered your testosterone , thats what a doctor told me once. Good info though

    i used to smoke 3 packs everyday for over 20 years. quit cold turkey a couple yrs back. all i can say is the gains after i quit are far better. night and day. can't say exactly why but my guess is i eat way more now, my blood has way more oxygen now (you can tell by the darker color), i can lift more and for longer periods of time. i can do cardio now. my immune system seems much stronger now.( i don't get sick near as much, when i do it doesn't last as long)... just to name a few
