Using cannabis for a better workout


I lead an especially active lifestyle.

I devote approximately an hour every morning to a dedicated workout where I include high-intensity cardio, strength training and stretching.

In my free time, I like to hike, cycle, run and swim. I’ve recently been training for a 5K marathon. My goal is to improve my time from last year’s race. I’ve found that cannabis is an asset to my exercise regimen and activities. I typically stop by the dispensary every Saturday, chat with the budtenders and get recommendations. I checkout the daily deals and new products. For energizing effects, I focus on sativas or those hybrids with higher THC to CBD ratios. I don’t necessarily want products with extremely strong THC potency. I prefer a mild high that energizes and motivates. Those consumption methods with a quick onset of effects work best. Smoking isn’t ideal because of the need for extra gear, and the process creates ash and mess. I often choose a vape pen due to the simplicity of consumption. All I need to do is press a button and inhale. I can customize dosage to my liking and requirements. Tinctures also work well. The packaging is super compact and includes a dropper for easy application. The dropper allows for very precise dosing down to the milliliter. All I need to do is place a few drops under my tongue and wait a minute for the liquid to be absorbed. The effects set in within minutes. Both the tinctures and vapes are convenient, discreet and portable. With proper storage, tinctures provide an especially long shelf-life.
