"Exploring the Impact of Cannabis on Exercise Motivation and Enjoyment"
A study from the University of Colorado Boulder suggests that smoking cannabis before exercising can increase motivation and enjoyment during workouts. The research involved 42 participants who ran on treadmills after using either THC or CBD strains of cannabis. Results indicated that while THC may make exercise feel more effortful, both THC and CBD enhanced the overall mood and enjoyment, potentially offering a new tool to encourage a more active lifestyle for those who struggle with exercise motivation. However, cannabis was not found to be a performance-enhancing drug, and further research is needed to fully understand its effects on exercise.
