Marijuana + Sports Medicine with Lindsay Crudele

Different Leaf: the Podcast

Athletes of all levels from weekend warriors to competitive trainers report that marijuana helps significantly with prep, performance, and recovery. So what does the research say about the athletic application of cannabis? And how can amateur and professional athletes safely self-experiment with CBD or THC to soothe their aches and pains?
In this episode, host Brit Smith talks to Lindsay Crudele, a former roller derby girl, amateur boxer, and author of the new article “High Performances — A Look at How Cannabis is Being Used in Sports," out now in the Winter 2023 medical issue of Different Leaf the magazine.
Brit and Lindsay discuss what the leading sports medicine professionals are saying about athletic uses of cannabis for pain, sleep, injuries, diet, and more. They also talk about how sports medicine experts recommend documenting your experiments to see what products, methods, and doses work best for your body. And they open up about their experiences of consuming cannabinoid medicine before, during, and after physical activity.
