well is qi gong based on breathing, now how would
smoking and the key word is smoking weed help your chi. i've smoked for a long time and recently stopped. i've been smoke free for a month
and i feel the difference for the better. not only that but weed can become addictive and how can that be good for you.as to weed helping your chi if it does then way hasn't any sifu of qi gong endores it. if anyone knows of a sifu that does i would like to know him and learn more about it.

It doesn't help your taijiquan, maybe you feel more relaxed, but usually you will feel more tired as well. And in fact the effects of short term memory loss make learning forms difficult. Also it can cloud the mind, making it difficult to maintain a sense of inner clarity.

But do what you wan't to do! Its your training on the line.

weed isn't physicaly addictive. when smoking it the nicotine makes it addictive, and people that are addicted to it are only so because they like it e.g. people become addicted to a certain food, or sport or hobby, not because they physicaly think they need it, but because they enjoy it so they go back for more.

i personaly have found benifits from weed, i don't smoke it but i chew it so it doesn't affect my lungs.

i think one good example of a weed user was Bruce Lee, and it didn't seem to do him any harm.

either way these posts had shown some interesting views and research on the subject.

what does everyone think about the acceptance from certain areas recently, e.g. in london, where the police don't really care because it's a waste of resources for each case(about 10hours worth of paperwork and investigation used to be wasted per case). and portugal, i've heard they've released the bans on drugs from canabis to lsd, personaly i don't agree with the legalisation of pills dues to the fact they kill alot of teenagers in clubs and other areas.

what do you think?

well, ive never smoked anything (im not down with putting ash in my lungs - not good for the kung fu + definately not good for the lungs no matter what pot smokers say... their endurance sucks!)

but i heard about using marijuana as tea, boil some water, chop up the leaves and let it soak for awhile... supposedly it tastes good and still gets you high :)

i would imagine this would be a lot better than smoking... anyone had any experiences with that?

from what I know is not water soliable(sp? able to disolve in water :) ) So i dont know how well tea would work. Many medical users get it in the form of "brownies" mixing the weed with butter at tempature. However this lacks the imediecey of smokeing, and is right ou for nausea sufferers.

There is something called a vaporizer, it seems that the point at witch THC "breaks off" is a bit lower than the point of combustion of the leaf. So is ou heat it to that point you get all the "good stuff" without ever "burning" the plant.

A better solution for here in he states, imho, would be legalization and comercial growing of high potency herb. That way people who WANT to smoke can enjoy the same benifts with much less harm from burning plant matter.

I mean this is a free country and all.

oh no that would be impossible :) the war on drugs's propaganda machine has perpetuated itself to a point where theres no turning back :) hahaha yea i sounded like a hippie

anyhow that would be the SMART thing to do, but our gov't rarely does that

i dont even smoke the stuff and i would totally rather have it legal... i dont think too many people go home, get high and beat their wife and children

also i know it helps a lot of anal retentive people (tight asses if you will)/obsessive compulsive people deal with their stress and loosen up a bit - and if i've learned anything from kung fu and bhuddism, relaxing is a good thing!

why our gov't has no problem with alcohol - which can make people violent and is a leading cause of rape in our country; yet thinks marijuana is something like a cardinal sin - is totally beyond me

i live in a fraternity and i deal with the reality of alcohol on an almost daily basis (at least it seems that way :D )... we throw parties and i know what dumb people do on alcohol, people get dumb, and violent

we've never had a problem with anyone who got too high and started to get violent :) (and i see a lot of that too), people just get dumb and lay around with the munchies

**edit**
i see a lot of people getting high - not people getting high and violent :)
**end edit**

bah ill end my legalize pot rant now

peace

i'm not sure about the tea because supposibly(sp?) weed needs fat to get absorbed in the body, thats why brownies are often used.

just out of interest, how much does an eigth cost in the states or where ever you're from?

if your buying to consume: 40-60 $$

buying to sell: depends on your deal and quantity, anywhere from 20 - 50 $$ (for suckers.)

hope that helps.

etc

$40 - $60 !!! in england it only cost £10 for resin! and maybe £20/£15 for skunk, is that 40-60 for something special, like orange haze or squidgey black, personaly i've never tried that stuff and dont intend to, i dont like the idea of my eyesight going orange!!

Some folks don't seem to realize that their opinions only go for them and people like them. It bugs me to think that they want to force on others... and no one believes they CARE...

Say, what's IN those 3ft bamboo bongs those Taoist priests are puffin' on?? I wonder if friggin' Taoist HERMITS gave 2 ****z WHAT fools think??? :confused:

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone else has "experimented" , with weed or other low level "substances".

I'm not saying you should but when I "experimented" I found that my chi power was the strongest it has ever felt.

any sensible comments would be appreciated.

marijuana is one of natures gifts to mankind... respect it, use it, grow with it.
