I would like to take a moment to introduce the addition of myself to the weekly CannaFitness column.

Having been a cannabis consumer for over 15 years, I’ve smoked a lot of greens over that time, but this may have been the most fun I’ve ever had on them. The day itself was absolutely beautiful, with perfect weather for the occasion. My wife and I arrived early, and had no idea we were […]

Training isn’t just the work you put in at the gym, or on the track, it’s also a lot about recovery. I consume cannabis in many different ways, for different reasons, as detailed […]

Sour Diesel. Blue Dream. Granddaddy Purple. OG Kush. Gorilla Glue.
