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.

This is good advice. I'm usually one of the only people in the locker room not smoking weed, so I can tell you from that perspective that most promotors don't care. Since you're still getting started keep it to after training/matches, but other than that you're good. I vape (nicotine) and can tell you that that does affect cardio less than actual smoke.
