CBD and Athletes

  Recently, cannabis and hemp have become increasingly popular in the athletic sport's World. Many people have heard of Olympians (such as Michael Phelps, and Usain Bolt) and other professional athletes (like Jen Shelton, and Nate Diaz ) consuming medical cannabis habitually to aid in their sports training. To some people, this may not make sense, because of the stereotypical stoner, often portrayed in TV and movies, is lazy, sits on the couch all day, glued to the TV, eating a whole pizza pie in one sitting. Unfortunately, this misconception is widely accepted amongst Americans. But the facts are that habitual cannabis consumers are less likely to be obese than non-smoking Americans, and many people are still active and perform most of their daily tasks after consuming cannabis. It’s all about the dosage and strain! Unfortunately, not all athletes have access to high-quality medical cannabis, and many people simply dislike the narcotic side effects it causes. Thankfu...
