Other situations are best avoided, such as legal depositions or, one would think, working out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    So I was suspicious when a friend told me that he prefers lifting weights when high. As does Joe Rogan. They claim that being baked helps improve their form by allowing them to feel how specific muscles engage \u2014 instead of trying to figure it out by looking in a mirror, which you cannot do while high due to giggling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    To find out if this really works, I emailed <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thiscannabislife\/\">Morgan English<\/a>, the Jane Fonda of weed workouts. Morgan, a professional cannabis photographer, founded Stoned + Toned in 2019. Stoned + Toned offers 30-minute online prerecorded \u201csmoke-and-sweat sessions\u201d ($9.99 a month, <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stonedandtoned.com\">stonedandtoned.com<\/a><\/em>). But Morgan and her husband and co-founder, Mike, agreed to train me at my house. I was incredibly nervous. Not about the workout. I first got high when I was in my 30s and have done so only about a dozen times since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    When Morgan arrived, brimming with cheery coolness, I knew I was in expert hands. She keeps a light buzz going all day to manage anxiety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Morgan instructed me to stand on my yoga mat before I vaped. \u201cIf you smoke and you\u2019re on the couch, you\u2019re not going to want to get up and do a workout,\u201d she explained. I took a hit of Super Lemon Haze, which she said would give me \u201can energetic, h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y high.\u201d I enjoyed some lemony coughs, and she turned on a Spotify playlist called \u201cWake and Bake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    We grabbed some light weights and punched from side to side, engaging our obliques. Then we planked. Every time I looked over at Morgan to check my form, she was pulling on her vape pen. The first thing she told me about the glute bridge was that it was the best position for smoking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    As I got thirsty, without ever sweating, I found myself able to focus on using the exact right muscles. Though I wasn\u2019t sure if that was due to the cannabis or merely because I was concentrating, or if there really is a difference between those two things. This is what my brain sounds like when I\u2019m stoned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    I also kept losing track of time, which made exercising less unpleasant. \u201cIt really helps you zone out when you\u2019re doing repetitive things,\u201d Mike explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    I stopped caring whether I was working out or not working out. Which made me wonder if I should stop working out. I asked Morgan if people ever just gave up midway. \u201cOn Zoom, a woman was just lying there,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd she was like, \u2018But I like listening to you guys.\u2019 \u201d Morgan didn\u2019t mind at all. In fact, that woman\u2019s reaction is part of what Morgan wanted to evoke through cannabis calisthenics \u2014 and why 90 percent of her clients are women. \u201cI want someone to feel safe. In so many fitness studios and gyms, there\u2019s so much judgment and anxieties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    After all the years I\u2019ve been in gyms, I now wondered if I was one those judgers. Maybe I made people uncomfortable. Maybe I was making Morgan uncomfortable right now. Maybe my energy was damaging the great energy Morgan was bringing. This kept up for hours after Morgan left. I really can\u2019t handle weed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>This story first appeared in the Jan. 27 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.hollywoodreporter.com\/sub\/?p=THR&amp;f=saleb_2&amp;s=IH2205THRS\">Click here to subscribe<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
