Can CBD Help to Enhance Experience of Sports?

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder recently conducted a study that indicated that 82% of cannabis users who exercise consume the goodleaf 1 hour before, or 4 hours after, their workout.

600 adult cannabis users were surveyed, all from American states where cannabis has been legalised. Of these, 345 “co-used” cannabis with exercise, and 67% of them did so both before AND after.

Contradicting sedentary stereotypes of lazy, couch-locked cannabis users, they reported that in actual fact it serves to increase enjoyment, enhance recovery and heighten their motivation.

Being that cannabis is an anti-inflammatory, it is also a great tool for muscle recovery and pain relief following intensive workouts.

Another notable finding was that those who co-used also got about 43 minutes more exercise per week than those who didn’t.

Ultrarunners sometimes use cannabis to battle nausea and boredom on long runs, and epidemiological studies show cannabis-users tend to be leaner, less prone to diabetes and have healthier blood sugar levels.
