Contrary to what many may think, the effect cannabis would have on your cardiovascular system and athletic abilities is minimal. Although some negative effects through the inhalation of smoke on a regular basis would lessen your ability to breath as efficient as you could without smoking there are many ways to ingest cannabis without smoke e.g. vaporizer, edibles. The major contributing factor to cannabis use and failing athletic prowess is not due to the drug itself but the sedentary lifestyle a typical pothead would lead. Much like the beer belly notion, it isn't the beer that gives you the belly it just so happens that the average suds guzzler would likely indulge himself with other less than healthy foods. Therefore if you would like to recreational get high there is not any more danger than eating mc donalds as long as it is coupled with an active lifestyle as well. no nutritionist, doctor, trainer would let you eat a Big Mac twice a day and sit on your couch watching The Wiggles and say it would be any more detrimental than the use of cannabis. Physical aspects aside cannabis will show up on virtually every drug test a serious athlete will take so keep that in mind.

The effects of cannabis

Marijuana decreases lung capacity.

Making it Harder to take deep full breathes.

This is reversible with lots of practice.

Cigarettes damage the lungs.

Same deal, only there is no going back. There is permanent damage.

Alcohol depends on the last time they drank. If the alcohol is still in the system, it thins the blood. Deprives the body of oxygen. The heart needs to pump harder and faster to supply blood and oxygen to the body, even if the person was just sitting on the couch. Alcohol also kills liver cells, and brain cells. Drinking on weekends shrinks the hippocampus of the brain (responsible for memory) by 20%.
