Does smoking marijauna really help muscle growth?

Answers:
I have some experienced in the marijuana culture and I understand where your question is coming from based from an "alternative medicine" point of view.
If you mean by "people who smoke weed seem stronger than people who dont", I think you are referring to functional stoners. A large percentage of functional stoners who goes to the gym are ofcourse going to be stronger than the average Joe, look at Arnold Schwarzenegger, he is a body builder that smokes pot, in an article I was reading he smoked pot post-exercise to help his body relax after a workout.
It is widely known that when your body is in a "relaxed" state it is more efficient at carrying out certain activities, although this has to be balanced by how much THC is it your body at the time...too much is BAD, you could get lazy even worse body stoned that you wont feel like doing anything...But if you were a professional you would know exactly what point to stop/start when you want to incorporate exercising with the use of THC, but in general less is more with lots of non-THC use in between.
Marijuana also alters the users perception of time and space, depending on the users midset. Marijuana can have a placebo effect of making the user feel stronger than normal and much more in tuned with their body thereby utilising their bodies efficiently when it comes to exercising, but on the opposite end of the spectrum the user can feel stronger than usual and injure themselves...so, like I said before less is more.
But in all practicality, marijuana doesnt induce muscle growth, it is only an aid into itself. Muscle growth happens when you push your body to a certain limit that it has to build muscle fibres to get stronger like body weight exercises and weight lifting. Building muscle mass also helps if you are getting the correct nutrition that your body needs, lots of protein and vegetables, vitamins...coupled with sufficient rest and recovery.
No it doesn't.
no
Um, wow, that would be some pretty wild research to back that statement up. I would have to guess "no."
i'd say no, my friend is a smoker, and not really muscular.
who ever told you that must have been high because that is not true
It gets rid of muscle growth!
No! It is a muscle relaxer on the other hand. But it doesn't build anything but Hunger!
Oh yeah totally when your high you can kick the world's strongest man's ***. NO it doesn't its called working out dumb ***.
marijuana doesn't do anything good for ur body or anything else, for that matter
You must be puffing the magic dragon too, to have the nerve to ask such a silly question. Stoners are stronger than average people, HAHAHAHAHA.... more like they are lazier than the average slob.
no. it doesnt. People who smoke it tend to be rebels and thugs and thus slightly more muscluar anyway. work out and live clean and you will get muscular if you want.
it has no affect. maybe you just hang out with too many people who smoke pot so the laws of averages are higher. you might want to rethink your friends, your perception if squed. In fact smoking pot decreases many things in your body including brain function. I did know a few people in school who smoked pot and inless they had really good DNA, they were fat and lazy, or at the very least had poor muscle tone. Your friends, might just have good DNA. But sadly you need to get away from them. You will get noware with pot heads.
I think this is a myth. I grew up amongst plenty guys who smoke weed in the ghettos and these guys are among the weakest and skinniest people I know.I have never experienced weed myself but I see a lot of negatives to this.
um...no it doesn't help muscle growth at all, perhaps the people you know who smoke pot appear to be stronger because they eat more food...due to the munchies.
