People Who Consume Weed Exercise More Than Those Who Don't, Study Says
The lazy stoner stereotype is seemingly unfonded according to dat that show cannabis users not only tend to exercise more but the older folks especially, have a lower b..m.i. compared to their non-using Acquaintances.
While those numbers may be several years old, the trend of rising marijuana use among older adults has continued.
“We haven’t seen a big spike in consumption” across most age groups, then-Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) told Rolling Stone in 2018. “The only increase in consumption is among senior citizens, which we think is either Baby Boomers coming home to roost or arthritis and the aches and pains of growing older—people finding that marijuana is better pain solution than opioids or other things.”
The most recent weed data shows that the "lazy stoner" stereotype is unfounded, even in users over the age of 60. In fact, seniors who used pot generally exercised more than those who abstained.
Does marijuana ruin an exercise routine? You might be surprised. A new study of older Americans found that cannabis consumers tended to do more formal exercise and engage in more physical activities than non-consumers during the course of a four-month trial.
“In this study, current cannabis use was associated with lower BMI and more exercise behavior in healthy older adults wishing to increase their physical activity.”
Researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder conducted an additional study on the same subjects to determine whether seniors’ use of cannabis negatively impacted their willingness to exercise.

“Adults over the age of 50 are the fastest-growing population of cannabis consumers in the US, with national prevalence rates estimated at up to 9.1% in 2013,” the authors explain. “Given the plethora of negative health consequences associated with inactivity and the protective factors associated with exercise, efforts must be made to understand factors, like cannabis use, that may affect older adults’ engagement in exercise.”
Weed stems can be a gray area for the average cannabis smoker.
Female Cannabis plants that develop THC laden trichomes doe so over the entire plant mainly of course in the buds but there are some amount of thc packed trichomes on the leaves and stalk and stems
Where Is THC Found?
Cannabis sativa and cannabis indica plants produce greater amounts of resinous trichomes than hemp. Trichomes contain abundant amounts of THC. As already mentioned, hemp also contains THC, but only in very low concentrations (0.3% or less).
While THC is found throughout all of the aerial parts (i.e the sugar and fan leaves) of a marijuana plant, it is found most abundantly in the flowers of female marijuana plants. As we discussed above, these flowers are coated in small resin glands called trichomes.
