"Enhancing Exercise: The Impact of Weed on Workouts"

New research suggests that cannabis can make exercise more enjoyable, with experienced cannabis users reporting a greater sense of euphoria and enjoyment during running when under the influence. However, cannabis did not enhance runners' performances on the treadmill, and THC-dominant cannabis users reported higher levels of exertion. The study also found that most participants were White and had previous experience using cannabis with exercise, so the findings may not generalize to less active populations or first-time users. Experts advise caution and recommend starting with a small dose of cannabis to gauge its effects before incorporating it into physical activity.
