Surveys suggest that cannabis users may work out more, but most findings are anecdotal. There’s no solid proof yet that weed boosts exercise performance. Still, many say it makes workouts more enjoyable and less stressful.
For those avoiding a “high,” CBD is a popular alternative. It may help with pain and anxiety without the psychoactive effects of THC.
Before adding cannabis to your routine, take it slow, pick low-risk activities, and talk to a doctor—especially if you’re on medication or have health conditions.
