Step Up Your Runner's High with Josiah Hesse

We may have high hopes for our New Years Resolutions, but it can be tough to stick to a new exercise routine. This episode, host Brit Smith talks to Colorado-based journalist Josiah Hesse about just how many marathon runners like him have discovered that both THC and CBD can enhance physical activity, and help people find more joy in regular exercise.

In his latest book, 'Runner’s High; How a Movement of Cannabis-Fueled Athletes Is Changing the Science of Sports,' Josiah delves into just how prevalent cannabis consumption is in the world of athletes. As he tells Brit, Josiah learned to incorporate marijuana into his training and wellness routine so he could actually enjoy his runs, and he explains how even the least-sporty among us can benefit from the high humans get from both weed and working out.
