For the casual rider who enjoys connecting with nature Maryjane sure is a lovely companion on a long mellow ride deep into the forest.

I’ve extensively tested this and will continue to do so. I’ve never asked to be compensated, I make this sacrifice out of love for our sport.
Boarding/skiing, surfing, biking…all sports where a flow state is important. All sports with lots of potheads.
I smoke and ride daily!
I dissect tech way way better when I indulge lol. I even ride gnar jersey mtn creek tech that way lol. Just helps me think better idk 🤷🏻♂️
I’m a sit down stoner. I never enjoyed exercise when I’m green. I’m jealous.
I get high before most rides, and I’ve done all my gnarliest ones while high, be it solo backcountry, black/double black tech trails I’ve never ridden, etc.
It helps me so much. Namely, it keeps my stomach happy. I have issues with being able to ride if I’ve eaten anything a couple hours prior, but if I smoke beforehand I have nothing to worry about. I also like how I can just zone out and spin on long climbs, I’m just focused on getting up the hill and nothing else. Same for riding down, I enter the flow state much easier if I’ve smoked.
I know some people who can’t stand smoking before a ride, so I would say the effects really vary from person to person. Personally I can’t imagine riding without it more than is necessary (ie, lunch rides).
I smoke more than most people, and the things it mentioned having a negative effect on, my numbers are amazing.
Sub 68bpm rhr
120/72 bp
I know any kind of smoke consumption is bad for you, but I think if you train enough, the effects are negligible
