I smoked recreationally through my teens, rode 4X a week, and raced all summer, every summer. Not once did I think it was a good idea to use something that was going to impair my judgement on a bike, even as a knucklehead teenager. So, yes we will disagree 100% on this and I will let you post the links where studies empirically demonstrate a quicker reaction time and increased performance in a sporting activity after having smoked. Or you can name names of those pro riders that smoked when they raced and won national championships. I've got no issue with weed at all and it should be legal across the US as it is in Canada. But I would bet that the top pros, who have won multiple races and championships smoked while doing their practice motos or lit one up before a national mx or supercross. Off the bike it is another matter-don't care, their own business.

Although I know many that are.
Must be a out of touch with the world to want to ride sober...

another perspective of mine,

this is me in 2016-17. i used to smoke all the time, alot but if i had went outside in the morning before i smoked i felt connected in the time and place like i belonged there, and like i was living life normally and i was on earth between heaven and hell.

after i smoked that morning i always felt like that changed, it changed into me being more on hells side than heaven, cause i noticed i was way more greedy, and i used to ride to ride the high off cause i would actually get so scared i was gonna have a heart attack i would ride to lessen the focus that i was high and focus on riding, i remember when i used to smoke those mornings i could always hear buzzards too, like not any other good, musical birds just the buzzards, and that made me feel even more depressed cause i was altering the way god intended for me to be, which was sober. it was like i truly believed it was helping me disconnect and focus but there was a negative to it, and that my friends was definitely religious and spiritual, one thing thats weird tho, it would always make me think about sin, and if i was sinning cause of how i was leaning more towards hell i thought than heaven at that time and place, it had me scared so i seemingly sinned less than when i was sober cause it already had me thinking i was going to hell for using it to try and get better on a motorcycle, i paid attention to my sin levels, even though it made me more greedy. if any of that hits home.

and be safe out there guys cause were im from some people are putting fytenal in the weed around here.

Haven't used drugs since the 90s and currently live in a state where weed is still a felony. Where do you buy it? Always preferred it over alcohol but never had a safe source. Asking for a friend of course.

Anecdotal evidence anyone? You don't have to out yourself. This is not a morality test.

I'd suggest in a sport where arm pump, relaxing and getting into a flow are all components that affect performance it would be very likely to be a benefit.

Gotta agree with this 100%. In no way, shape or form, does weed improve your performance on the bike, or in anything else for that matter. I don't think this was ever the point of smoking was it?

Gotta disagree with you 100%. In no way shape or form have you ever tried doing it. There is no point in smoking, it’s all how you perceive it. Some people use it to act dumb some people use it to get through life every day. Weed DOES help which is why they also test for it. If you did any bit of research you’d see why it does actually help. But there’s always going to be people like you so no point in explaining ha

It makes no sense to me to smoke before riding. This is dangerous but after a good day of riding, the high is great.
