"Cannabis and Exercise: Impact on Emotions and Performance"

A study from the University of Colorado Boulder examined the effects of pre-workout cannabis consumption on exercise and found that participants reported exerting more effort and experiencing stronger euphoria while running on a treadmill after smoking. CBD users particularly reported better moods than the THC group, suggesting that while cannabis may not enhance performance, it could motivate sedentary individuals to engage in physical activity. Researchers emphasize the need to explore both the harms and benefits of using cannabis as a tool for promoting enjoyable physical activity.
