The majority of research done has been in relation to marijuana use and its effect on cardiovascular demand. This research shows that marijuana use fluctuates the body's blood pressure. When comparing subjects who have used marijuana and those who haven't, research indicates that there is not much difference between the two. The noticeable difference between the two is how long the subjects were able to perform an exercise, indicating that marijuana users tended to not endure as long as non-marijuana users.
Since the research on building muscle is minimal, more information is needed before we can get a clear picture. However, there have been no signs that cannabis has a negative effect on muscle building.
I would not recommend using cannabis before, during, or after a hard workout since it does affect judgement and blood flow.
