far from it. you will never perform at your best if you are altered.
enhancing, my ass. the usual method of use is usually very unhealthy. (smoking). a vaporizer would be "healthier" or eating it. but no method of use is going to be performance enhancing. it doesn't make you faster, stronger, heal faster (like steroids), or help you make better decisions. silly it would be called a performance enhancer...i guess they are too lazy to make illegal substances illegal in sports...lets just call them performance enhancing drugs.

im with u red,its laughable that they take away metals for being on weed,hell they should give these guys two metals for doing what they do on weed.

after i thought about it some more, i think the only "enhancement" someone may get is feeling a bit more relaxed. (if you don't get paranoid ) so i guess taking a hit before you take off may make you more relaxed allowing you to fly better, but it wouldn't work that way for everyone since everyone reacts differently to drugs (legal or not)

the Olympics committee seems to think weed is a sports enhancing drug
Remember Ross Rebagliati, the Canadian who won the gold medal in snow boarding in 1998?
Well go figure, ol' Ross had marijuana in his circulatory system and was immediately disqualified...the disqualification was over-turned as it was found that marijuana is not a performance enhancing drug and Ross was given back his gold medal...

i did not know that and im glad they gave his medal back,huggs and kisses
must say, when i used to be real serious about my mountain bike riding i used to ride the same 15 miles almost everyday.. used to get some of my best times when i was high.. i could just zone out and peddle up some crazy couple mile hills like nuthin..
look at phelps, he had to get high.. how else could you swim 10 hrs a day..
The one time I played golf while elevated I swung the club better than I ever have. I was able to just tune into it and feel every little adjustment my muscles were making on the way through the swing.
In the same way, I can play car racing video games waaaaay better when I'm high. Not that I'm recommending driving that way on actual roads, but I tend to over react and button mash normally, but I'm much better at making very fine corrections and ease the car around obstacles much more effectively when THC finds its way into my system.
Disclaimer: Drugs are bad, m'kay. If you smoke pot your testicles will fall off, all your friends will hate you, and you'll never be able to function at work again.
P.S. The ridiculous things stated in the disclaimer are actually on the DEA webpage, cited as 'facts about drug use'.

if you need a toke to "relax" enough to fly, perhaps you should ask "what's happenin here?" hard to believe i, who soared so many pocket thermals, said that. guess the attitude comes with age...

Did the same thinking when I rode mountain biking as well. I would just zone out and hit the trails hard. 16 miles round trip of uphill,downhill and log jumps, doubles. I have three bikes with worn out cranks. I don't medicate right before I fly, but I have been known to medicate immediately after landing. Stay away from the devils lettuce boys and girls. I don't really like to drink, and I don't like drugs. I just like to medicate every now and then with a product that sells more per year than corn in the U.S.
how many of you agree that weed can make you better at something,the Olympics committee seems to think weed is a sports enhancing drug
A couple years ago I ran across an old Scientific American article (earl 70's) which claimed that according to certain studies it noticeably improved creative and artistic tasks, such as writing, drawing and composing music. Obviously this article was published prior to the "War on Drugs" hysteria and all that bs.
Also, my Tantric friend swears that having sex under its influence elevates the experience to a whole new dimension and claims its swelling effects on par or superior to Viagra. So enticing are his claims that I've resolved to try this. It has since become my new years resolution. _________________ Passing wind gets me stinking high !!

Dude, tantric or not, what your friend is saying is the god's honest truth! New Year's day was 2 months ago, what are you waiting on??!!?

daydreamer and jball are on the right track:
it raises your pain threshold a long way, so you can train harder and race harder.
Definitely performance enhancing!
Of course motor skills are impaired, as many of us will have discovered
I was a rower for 5 or 6 years at Uni (where I still am, trying to write a thesis), and rowed with someone who used cannabis while training. His fitness at his peak (his best 2k ergo score) was unbelievable, but as he got older he found he couldn't train without it. He won Henley aged 18, then crashed and burned.
But let me reiterate: he won Henley first!

My state just voted to decriminalize weed.
So now, when I drive home after hooking up, I don't have to worry about getting busted anymore, just a $100 fine and, I guess, confiscation.
I have smoked weed since forever (less and less with each passing year though) and it does indeed help you focus at times. I can clean like a madman when torqued, especially big things like the garage or basement, "IF" I choose to get off the couch and put "Need 4 Speed" down for awhile ! However, I will often forget what I was gonna do after I turn off the PlayStation and usually just wind up taking a nap...
However, doing ANYTHING were injury is possible is not a good idea when stoned as you can get rather stupid ! Power tools are a definite no-no.
I pushed my thumb into a table saw blade one time. It still hurts when it's very cold
I find while flying I am as naturally high as I can possibly get. I am super intensely focused, particularly at launching, and it takes a couple hours after landing to actually "come down". I can't see getting flared as helping AT ALL. It would definitely be a detriment to me personally.
My personal opinion, if you need to get high before you fly then your adrenal gland must have stopped working entirely. Go see a doctor before you hurt yourself
PS. Sometimes you can tell who's been tokin' by an inordinate amount of emoticons in their post
I'm in the midst of getting a new foot of snow as I type
This might be the most snow I've seen in a season since the "Blizzard of 78" (a year to remember in the Boston area if it means nothing anywhere else)
What was I talking about....
Oh yeah, global warming...
No, thats not it
