You'll test positive for drugs in front of State Athletic Commissions and won't get a License to fight in that state. If you want to smoke weed, you won't have an MMA Career or a Professional Boxing Career. You need to think about finding another line of work if weed means that much to you. Mixed Martial Arts Fighers and Boxers get nailed every month for Drug Violations. Anyone who reads Web Sites that are devoted to Mixed Martial Atts or Boxing knows this.

There's is a lot of weed hate here but I think it is just like alcohol I smoke on every now and then about once a month and I still compete in judo and sub grappling sometimes right after each other pretty much every weekend if you only smoke once or twice a month you only have to wait about 3-5 days before your clean for a pee test. I find smoking as much as I would drink if I ever did anymore to be better for me the strain of weed I get doesn't cause to much munches but my house is full of healty **** anyway if being a pot head is important tho just buy fake pee or do a detox cleanse me and my mates have to do it anyway because we're all on the heavier side of our weight classes.

One of the best fighters Ive trained with smokes weed on a daily basis. There's not really any evidence to show weed has any long term effects. I watched a documentary called super high me where a guy was high 30 days straight. They found nothing changed physically or mentally for him and no addiction shown. As for some other people's answer have you heard of Michael phelps, one of the best US Olympians who smokes.

I think there is a reason that no successful athlete smokes weed if they have to test or not. No pothead has ever won even a small local tournament that I can remember. Hope you have enough functioning brain cells left to connect the dots.

Any time you inhale smoke into your lungs you are not doing your boy in favors. You are actually harming your temple. Additionally as others have mentioned you will fail your drug test as weed is a banned substance.

You shouldn't smoke anything if you want a successful pro fighting career.

It is best to abstain if you seek a career in MMA.

It can't possibly aid you in that quest.

@G - Phelps may have done it once and as far as that documentary is concerned, he was tested after he smoked. No a few weeks or years afterward.

I've yet to meet anyone who smokes pot on any sort of regular basis be successful in martial arts, let alone in competitive ones.

Weed is better then cigarettes so...I don't know man.

Is it very bad to smoke weed, while being MMA fighter? Does it slow you down and affect your skills?? I mean, I can understand drinking does Work, because of hangover... But weed doesn't give me anything..

Can I be a MMA fighter, when I smoke weed 1-2 times a week?
