Weed calms you down so you can sleep and gets rid of restless leg syndrome,with players being hyped after a game it is perfect for bringing them down from the adreniline pumped thru them from playing.
Gas, would you prefer the doctor take care of their chronic pain before surgery by using some heroin? Because opioid-based pain medicine is heroin.
Do you think Klay, Steph, etc. sit around doing heroin? There's a really great chance MOST professional athletes have had a pain medicine prescription in their career and have used them before, during and after games.
Marijuana affects different people differently, as far as dopiness a goes. Me, if I smoke pot, I'm a dope. Not the same person at all, I function a few levels lower than normal. Because I realize I'm slower than normal I get really self-concious, get anxiety and don't want to be around other people. So for me, I would never smoke pot in a social setting or before I had to do anything remotely important. But my wife is not like that at all. I'm not saying she's her "best self" on pot, but the effects are not the same as they are for me at all.
So I don't smoke pot. It's not fun for me, it doesn't "help" me with anything at all. But if I had to choose between pot and opioids for pain, I'm choosing pot all day every day. Opioids are bad. They're highly addictive and they have ruined millions of lives, often people who just had some injury or some pain and their doctor prescribed them opioids and then before they even knew wtf was going on they were essentially addicted to heroin.
You're looking at pot like a party drug, but the fact is that many people don't use it like that. It can be used like that, just like opioids, or meth, or cocaine, or alcohol. But not everyone is hot boxing and watching Cheech and Chong when they smoke pot. And in places where pot is legal, smoking it becomes less and less the way people do it.
Silly *** **** right here...With all the social justice warrior action on this forum Im suprised to see some of the same people claiming the NBA is saturated with weed smokers. Seems like its a racist stereotype of black people, who make up the majority of the league.
Fine, you win bro.Oh I get it now, you're just a moron.

Cause you wrote “And no, weed doesnt kill the pain as well as people claim it does. So it wouldnt be worth it.”Im not sure why opioids have been brought up in this conversation.
It isn’t only people who are in constant agonizing pain who don’t want to be in pain. I recently had kidney stones and the pain pills I was prescribed were dangerous nasty drugs that helped the pain no doubt but I actually vaped some pot and it did wonders for my pain (I don’t normally use marijuana btw)Im also not sure why the topic of weed being a pain reliever is even relevant either. Im pretty sure NBA players arent in constant agonizing pain.
Athletes get injured sometimes.In fact excercise feels good.
If they use marijuana in their off time occasionally, whether for fun or pain or to help them sleep or for anxiety or whatever, then it would have little to no effect at all on how good they are at basketball.This is about how good of a basketball player you are if choose to smoke weed vs not. I dont believe the best basketball players like Steph, Durant, and Lebron are using.
I dony have any problem with weed and I think it should be legal, but....
Do you think Lebron, Harden, CP3, Steph, or Klay smoke weed? I seriously doubt it. I think you are kidding yourself if you believe you are the best version of yourself on it. You want to be at your best? You are better off not doing it. Certainly dont do it before a game or during the season.
I think you are misunderstanding the big difference between the first one you listed and the others. I dont think anyone thinks very many players if any smoke just before a game or during a game.Fine, you win bro.
Steph Curry smokes the weed for his sore ankles. The whole Warriors team hotboxes the locker room before the game.
Lebron gets hella lit before he goes off for 45 in a game 7
Harden ate some pot brownies at half time last night.
There, we agree now.

It's actually pretty even.Lol. I bet more white people smoke than black people.

Agreed. I don’t think anyone thinks weed is performance enhancing. Has someone been saying that it is or are you just stating the obvious.

Ya, so many people smoke weed. It’s so dumb it isn’t legal.
