WEED AND WORKING OUT.

Updated: Apr 14, 2023

It can be tough to keep the habit of exercise consistent. Why not try 'stacking' this new habit with one thats already well established...



Marijuana, also known as cannabis, has been traditionally associated with sedentary activities such as watching TV or playing video games. However, recent studies have shown that marijuana may also have benefits for fitness and physical activity.

One study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found that marijuana use was associated with increased physical activity in individuals with chronic pain. Participants reported that marijuana use helped to reduce pain, which made it easier for them to engage in physical activity.

Another study published in the European Journal of Pain found that a cannabis-based medicine containing both THC and CBD (cannabidiol) was effective in reducing chronic pain, which can help increase physical activity.

Additionally, marijuana has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce muscle soreness and pain, making it easier for people to engage in physical activity. It is important to note that while marijuana may have potential benefits for fitness and physical activity, more research is needed to fully understand the short-term and long-term effects of marijuana use on fitness. Additionally, marijuana use can have side effects, and can interact with other medications, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before using marijuana.

In conclusion, marijuana may have potential benefits for fitness and physical activity by reducing pain, increasing physical activity and reducing muscle soreness. However, more research is needed to fully understand the short-term and long-term effects of marijuana use on fitness, and it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before using marijuana.
