The Use of Cannabis for Athlete Health and Performance

Join the Exercise & Sport Science Initiative (ESSI) for a seminar focused on the use of cannabis for athlete health and performance. Experts will discuss how cannabis is currently regulated in sports; why medical cannabis has been proposed for use in treating chronic and acute pain, as opposed to other treatment strategies; how CBD and THC affect mental and physical health and athletic performance, both positively and negatively; the molecular mechanisms of how CBD and THC work; how THC and CBD get metabolized differently depending on how they are administered (e.g., topical, oral, or inhalation); and where the future is headed in terms of the use of medical cannabis in elite sports.

I’m a Ex-NFL Free agent, D1 All-American and I’ve been consuming since I was 16. Officially became a licensed patient in Ohio. I realized early on that cannabis helped me with pain management, anxiety, stress, and rest. It allowed me to focus and slow things down in my life. As an athlete it helped me get in the zone. Most of my teammates at the collegiate and pro level consumed regularly. Everybody knows the weed is better than the opiates.
