Medical Cannabis and Sport and Recovery

The topic of cannabis in sport draws a lot of interest - from muscle and joint pain, through sleep, to recovery after exertion. It is worth separating facts from fashion and saying plainly what medical cannabis in sport is not.

Medical cannabis is not a nutritional product or a way to a better result. THC tends to lower rather than raise performance and can impair coordination, so there is no question of taking it before training for an effect.
