Tokin' Away Since 1968
My comment was the #1 comment in the NY Times!:
"Nothing like getting stoned at the trailhead! I'm in my seventies and have been vigorously exercising after smoking and now vaping cannabis for some fifty years. Climbing mountains, biking up through the notches, xc skiing for hours on groomed trails or snowshoeing on several feet of unbroken snow, all after a puff or two on the vape, are a joy. Most of my exercise is aerobic, but I try to do about twenty minutes of intense wind sprint/intervale training in each hour or two session until my heart is beating like crazy.
I have a number of painful problems with my feet and weed seems to make me forget or tempers the pain. But I've always loved smoking a joint before setting out on a steep climb. It makes the extra effort and long uphill slogs go by with a minimum of suffering. Or if the weather is bad and I'm exercising on a stationary bike, which is so boring to me, it makes the time and legs fly.
Only problem, and according to other articles in the NYT this is true for outdoor recreationists in general: I get really hungry and then eat too much in the evening."
