"Exploring Cannabis: Does It Enhance Motivation and Enjoyment in Exercise?"

A study from the University of Colorado has found that cannabis, specifically THC and CBD, can enhance the enjoyment and mood of runners during exercise. CBD was noted to improve exercise experience without the impairment associated with THC, while THC increased heart rate and perceived effort. Despite these findings, cannabis is not considered a performance-enhancing drug and should be used with caution. The research suggests that cannabis could potentially be a tool to encourage a more active lifestyle, particularly for those who struggle with exercise motivation.
