Depends on the sport for Pot. I've heard of quite a few weight lifters taking it to increase appetite.

Seems a rather dubious link to performance enhancing.

Seems you don't know much about weight lifting.

I won't claim to know much about it, but if increasing appetite is all the pot is doing, I'm not seeing a problem. It's not a Hot Dog eating contest.

Weightlifters who are concerned about putting on bulk may benefit from marijuana use. However, unless appetite is controlled and nutritious foods are consumed instead of junk foods, bodybuilders and fitness models who use marijuana may find that they are constantly involved in a battle of the bulge.

Just what we need, a bunch of fat, stoned, weightlifters.

If cannabis causes the munchies, how is it possible that pot smokers are thinner than nonsmokers?

A new study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology finds an intriguing connection between marijuana use and body weight, showing that rates of obesity are lower by roughly a third in people who smoke pot at least three times a week, compared with those who don’t use marijuana at all.

Just another reason to legalize. Moderate use improves lung function, you can pig out on junk food and not get fat. If I didn't think dope was for dopes I would consider taking it up again.

Eating is one of the biggest parts of training for the olympics. These people are burning 4-5 thousand calories per training session, and it's hard to eat those kinds of calories for many. Pot can help with that. On weightlifting itself, they need the nutrients for recovery, and the calories for strength.

Not rocket science.
