Yesterday I was in the gym doing my weekly self inflicted punishment, you know, doing legs. There was a young guy next to me, a local power lifter, doing deads. He knows me, has seen me compete locally a few years ago. He claims I was part of his inspiration to start power lifting. That and college football, he plays for the greatest college team in the world, the Gators. Any way, hr wreaked of what they call loud. It's just a nickname for high quality weed I guess because it smells so strong.
Now I'm no stranger to weed. The first time I got in serious trouble I had 57 pounds of weed. And both my sons smoke. My youngest sits outside my house smoking every day. Hell he's outside smoking right now. But this kid shocked me. All star athlete, playing at a high level and probably going to the pros if he stays healthy.
So we are chatting. I brought up that he looked effed up. He just grinned. Not preachy, but old farty, I asked if he was getting any benefit from using. I mean the potential loss if caught is life altering in Florida where it's still illegal.
After the usual bull shit about helping him focus, giving him a better mind body connection while training I called bull shit. And pointed out that he couldn't even remember where he laid his drink and towel after his last set.
Then he gave me a believable answer. He said he is expected to come into training camp around 300lbs, but his natural body weight is around 270ish. He said he's tried peptides, he can't afford the amounts of growth it would take. But the pot increases his appetite so he can eat all the time to stay a little over 300, lean when he comes off cycling for the preseason.. And it was easier to cover up the weed with masking agents.
I dont know. I dont care to be honest. But if the Gators lose him it could have an impact.
His general thesis about aiding in weight gain made sense. I havent smoked weed since my last prison stint in the early 90's. I have no desire to.
But I am curious about you're thoughts overall.
