I didnt realise that you dont use bakky in the US, but I just mentioned it to my mate here and he said that every body knows that so i guess im a bit behind.
Its not to make it easyer to smoke, its the opposite. If you smoke cigarettes, then its nice to get the nicotine and weed at the same time plus its more harsh.
I skimmed this thread, so if someone already stated what I'm about to state, I apologize. Smoking, whether that be cigarettes or marijuana, causes vasoconstriction. The vessels tighten, or constrict, reducing blood flow. You are reducing the perfusion of blood to your brain, muscles and tissues each time you light up. Doing this directly after a workout is a very bad idea, because you want healthy circulation and oxygenation to your muscles so they can grow. Hope this helps.
(See, I may not know much about working out, but I can tell you how the body works. I knew I was good for something around here!)

Tobbaco and Drinking Far more dangerous then smokeing some weed. common.
I smoke marijuana daily and I used to Drink and Smoke tobbaco too, but when i started pumping i quit drinking and smokeing tobbaco. and i can tell you right now. Tobbaco and drinking is far worse then smokeing weed. I can FEEL the difference. I work out M-Sat and never use marijuana before working out.. but after a workout like 1 hour after or so.. I find that it helps me relax and feel good. I NEVER felt good from Tobbaco or Drinking..
Just thought i would say how it affects me.

Yes, but when it constricts, it still constricts, there's no way around it. It still decreases the blood flow to your muscles moreso than if you hadn't lit up. So you're doing yourself a disservice by smoking after your workout, regardless. It wouldn't hurt to wait a few hours and let your muscles get some oxygenation before you smoke. But if it's something that helps you relax, and you're going to be antsy and tense waiting for the moment you can light up, then by all means, you may as well just smoke. The anxiety is going to increase your blood pressure and have just as many ill effects. Only anxiety doesn't ruin your lungs, lol. And smoking weed is waaay more damaging to your lungs than cigarettes. Because when people smoke weed, then tend to inhale much more deeply, and hold it in...searing the lung tissue. When people smoke cigarettes, they pretty much just puff it in and out. Just a tid bit of info.

I touched on this as well and the author of the thread claimed he wasn't interested in our "subjective opinions" on this matter.

Dude, listen to yourself. You ran a 5:15 marathon and are wondering if pot has a negative effect on your running performance? 5:15 sucks. Take your goals into consideration, if you want to run marathons well, pot isn't helping. Also, this is the bodybuilding section, not the runners section

That depends on the person. It's not like alcohol.
Toward the end of my days of smoking weed, I used to get very tense. I've tried it a few times since then, but I don't like the high anymore because it makes me so tense and even paranoid.
I can't relax under the effects of weed, thus I can't focus.

Not to mention the fact that most people smoke filtered cigarettes.
