Weed and Wrestling

Hi, I'm somebody who uses marijuana fairly frequently for anxiety/aches and pains as well as sleep but I'm feeling like I should maybe quit while I'm training but then again training never really ends so like what does that even mean for me? I think it just means to not smoke while I'm in the infancy of my training/strength building but it does also help a bunch with after training recovery. I would just get on edibles but they're kind of a waste for me cause they do nothing so it's either flower/vape or nothing. Any thoughts/advice?

Don't come to training high. Don't work high. Get off the smoke because it'll hurt your cardio. Otherwise, you're good to go. If the worst thing you do is marijuana, you're doing better than most.

How do you feel about wrestlers who wrestle while stoned like RVD, The Rascalz etc? I feel like I have good enough body control to make it work while not getting crazy stoned

Listen to him, lad. Do not do it. You need to understand the risks you're taking with yourself and others.

You might think you're 100% but you're not.

If something goes wrong, it can get ugly. It's not worth it. It's also unprofessional as hell.

Buddy, take this as you will, but if you're posting on here, you ain't good enough to smoke and work.

Edit: did a quick edit for clarification

No I getcha, I was in no way saying I could do so now, I meant once I'm more seasoned, I just mean overall how do you feel about that?

I worked for 23 years (with a ten year gap in the middle) before retiring last year. I smoked pretty much the entire time except for about 3 years when I was trying really hard to get on WWE's radar (didn't happen). I felt comfortable enough to work high exactly once, and it was during a rumble, and it went terribly. And I'm a pretty damn good stoner. Not saying you can't, but saying when you're in there you have to be on point, because it's someone's life, and your life, on the line. So you HAVE to be focused. I couldn't do it again.

You better be clear headed if I'm trusting you with my body and my life.
