Hey leigh, whats your opinion on micro dosing canibus (thc or cbd) after workouts to help reduce cortisol, help with relaxing, soreness, and sleep. Are there any studies showing canibus helping or hurting recovery/gains?
That may seem counterintuitive because cannabis allows some people to fall asleep more quickly because of the effects on adenosine. Rem sleep suffers from it, so no not worth

Also cannabis should not be your way to relax

Lastly, the body adapts really fast to cannabis so you will need to up the effective dose quite fast

Cannabis does have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with recovery after workouts. But, the thing to remember is this will only be short term reduction in inflammation which does not benefit long term recovery (recovery takes days), so having cannabis is unlikely to improve your recovery capacity significantly.
And like avocado said about sleep, well I believe it is actually THC that interferes with sleep rather than CBD, and obviously that is a problem if you cant sleep because sleep is more important for recovery than practically anything, aside from nutrition lol. But, then again the half life of THC would mean it depends on when you were to take it in regards to whether or not it would impact your sleep.
Basically CBD wouldn't be an issue, but THC would, espcially nearer sleep time.

Here its also mid to high doses of cbd that are being used to find a positive effect on sleep

Latest ive read was that low dose CBD impairs sleep, higher doses impair it less

Long term heightened cortisol can interfere with gains, cortisol in general doesn't interfere with gains. It's all about how much you are producing and for how long those levels are staying heightened for
Yah. I understand that, its just sometimes my stress levels are so high i literally cant bring my self to workout, i usually use working out as the cope. So, that can be an issue

to each there own, but i dont think skip days are that bad. i mean, if a person lifts 4 days a week, and they skip one day once a month, its not that bad

When i feel extra tired I do about 20% less weight on my working sets and focus on form
5:22
Because there's benefit in doing that
5:23
You can still adapt and make gains from lower effort sets
5:24
Especially on lifts like bench, squat deadlift
5:24
Bench is pretty technical so even if you're doing a low effort set and you focus on form its going to carry over to when you do heavier stuff, because you're drilling that execution in
5:25
and if you really don't want to do lower intensity you can just reduce volume
I dont think weed should be a way to lower stress for most people
5:41
Long term use of weed is also linked to cognitive decline
5:41
Especially in memory if i recall
5:41
Both long and short term

There is also evidence that shows how prolonged use of cannabis alters DNA. They found a direct link with frequent cannabis usage and ADHD in the offspring of the user
5:43
I believe that relation was bidirectional
5:43
Lee said that too i see
5:43
But there are many other healthier and less expensive ways to manage stress
I wanna loose weight and gain muscle
I want like a lean physique rn I’m 110kg

@Davey
i dont have to do anything. I'm not in school writing a thesis. Google is your best friend, takes a few seconds to find the literature. Its 23:41 and instead of sleeping im trying to help someone out
just dont smoke weed if u wanna live a healthy live and wanna keep your mental state healthy too ( i was a weed addict for 8years weed makes u a loser)
There's zero evidence that suggests taking it pre or post gym make any difference what so ever. So take it whenever, it doesn't even need to be near to when you train
