I compete professionally. There is a masters and executives division for people over the age of 40, but I currently compete in the 18–30 bracket.\nBefore a competition, I will typically take about 250 milligrams of some form of THC edible about 90 minutes prior to the competition. The competitions usually last anywhere from four to eight hours, so I like to take an edible because it lasts throughout the competition. And once the competition is over, I'll take a CBD tincture to help with the injuries\nWith THC, the focus side of things, obviously you can overdo it, so we at CannAthlete have come up with some new language. So we have medication; we have intoxication; and for athletic performance, we want activation.\n Cannabis activation means being the best version of yourself. And to be the best version of yourself, you have to be present. So whether you're a CEO like myself or a professional athlete, many times while we're working out or competing, we're thinking about all the various things that we have to do, whether it's picking up the kids, a shopping list.  \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYGFEGk9nzU \n\nseiboshen\n_____________________\nCannabis can enhance your jiu-jitsu performance in many different ways. Seibo explained how he uses the psychoactive cannabinoid THC to help him activate his mind. THC makes me anxious, so I like to use whole plant hemp flowers in an ingestable way, mixed with Chinese herbs to enhance my physical performance. I personally take something called Better Brain+ before my workouts because it helps me stay focused and time fly fast. It contains organic hemp flowers, bacopa, and matcha green tea. The L-theanine in the green tea has been clinically studied for the use on ADD, ADHD, high blood pressure, and anxiety. It also has been studied as a focus-aid. Have fun using plants to create your peak performance! \n\n@NixduExtreme","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9447-markdown","title":"Is there a mind-body connection when it comes to sports performance and cannabis consumption?","slug":"is-there-a-mind-body-connection-when-it-comes-to-sports-performance-and-cannabis-consumption","content":"\n_____________________\n  \nOne of the things that I learned that may surprise a lot of people by utilizing cannabis with my training regimen is just being able to listen to my body a bit more closely. I think a lot of the sports that we play, a lot of the coaches that teach us how to play these sports, they always tell you to push through the pain. And many times, by pushing through the pain, you will get a lot of great results.\nBut as you get older, understanding when you are just feeling pain versus when you’re injured is a very, very good skill to learn. And by utilizing cannabis, I noticed that the mind-body connection is much stronger, and I could start realizing when I'm actually injured versus when I need to push through the pain. And I think being able to delineate the two was a huge barrier for me to break through. Because many times when you are playing combat sports, you don't want to look like the weakest person on the team. But if you are really injured, you need to pull yourself out.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=X9eI4Hvf5os\n\nseiboshen\n_____________________\nCheck out \"Better Energy\" by www.evaonline.org!

So there's many studies that have shown that cannabinoids are a strong anti-inflammatory. On top of that, there's a lot of emotional well-being that you get from consuming cannabis that helps with sports recovery. But for our athletes, the anti-inflammatory properties are so strong—much better than Advil, acetaminophen. And we found that the side effects are so much less for cannabinoids that it's something that they could use consistently and throughout the day as well\nPeople have said THC with the rest of the cannabinoids have an entourage effect. But I recently heard that the cannabinoids have more of an ensemble effect where there's not one main lead but it's all the cannabinoids working in concert with each other. So just like whole foods are better than taking a multivitamin, we always recommend that when you're consuming cannabis, get a full spectrum of the cannabinoids.\n \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byn_CDaN2n0\n\nseiboshen\n_____________________\nI was kicked by a horse resulting in (15 breaks) compound fractured wrist. They used a titanium plate and screws to hold my wrist together.  I ingested marijuana butter to manage pain and swelling.  The break healed faster than orthopedic surgeon was expecting and told me to keep doing what I was doing. i didnt use most of the opiates prescribed.  i had a second surgery to remove titanium plate and 8 screws.  I applied same philosophy.   \n\nI had had lots of physical therapy to get my hand and wrist back to a functioning limb.  I’d say I’m 95% but breaknso bad, bone is shorter on break side causing wrist joint issues. \n\nThe high CBD content helped with the pain, swelling and I healed up faster.   i would recommend this pain treatment to anyone as long as they consulted with their doctor.  \n\nSports injuries can be pulled or torn tendon,  muscles, broken bones, etc.  marijuana works very well to manage pain, swelling, and in my assessment expedite healing process. \n\n\n\ncowboy74","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9445-markdown","title":"If someone is looking to enhance their sports performance with cannabis, what should they do?","slug":"if-someone-is-looking-to-enhance-their-sports-performance-with-cannabis-what-should-they-do","content":"\n_____________________\n  \nI always like to use words that rhyme, so it's easy for people to remember. So I say, start slow and low. So slow and low is utilizing low dosages and having longer periods of time in between doses.\nSo one great way to start off is with a low dosage at nighttime. If your body agrees with it, and you like the way you feel with that dosage, then you should try it during the daytime with the sport of choice that you're trying to enhance your performance in. And by utilizing a methodology like that, you could slowly up the amount of THC and cannabinoids that you're ingesting until you are at that perfect level where you think that you will be present and in the zone.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxiLJuNr848\n\nseiboshen\n_____________________\nFor someone looking to improve their sports performance with cannabis, they should eat it. You can use cannabis by ingesting it in whole-plant, green form. Cannabis juice or hemp juice mixed with some beet root will enhance your speed and muscle's ability to use nitric oxide for immediate energy.  Whole plant hemp flowers provide an array of bioavailable phytocannabinoids. \n\n@NixduExtreme","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9444-markdown","title":"Is it appropriate to introduce cannabis into a workout regime such as yoga?","slug":"is-it-appropriate-to-introduce-cannabis-into-a-workout-regime-such-as-yoga","content":"\n_____________________\n  \nThat's a really great question. And if we go back to cannabis helping athletes improve their focus, I know that for, let's just say myself. When I first started doing yoga—I'm a highly competitive person, I would look at everybody else and go, “Oh, she's lower than me or she's doing this stretch better than me,” and I would often find myself comparing myself to other students or just thinking about all the other tasks that I have to do after the yoga class.\nSo, for someone like yourself, by consuming cannabis before going to yoga, it could help you improve your focus, really have that stronger mind-body connection so that you could really feel the stretch. And I also found that because breathing is such a big part of yoga, I am very conscious and aware of my breath when I'm breathing too quickly or too slowly, and by being conscious of my breath I am able to utilize that to further relax myself. And that's how I think you could really incorporate cannabis into your yoga routine.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdVGnicrpac\n\nseiboshen\n_____________________\nThere are quite a few different styles of yoga, and many kinds of cannabis. The two have gone together for many years.  I would suggest micro-dosing during solo practice or with friends who are also practicing under the effects of ganja. I regularly practice vinyasa flow in temperatures at 90+, and I also have my own personal practice that is slower and I hold postures for longer. Certain types of Cannabis can lower blood pressure and this can become an issue if you are sweating and bending over and standing up rapidly. \"Orthostatic hypo-tension\" Be careful with edibles and other ingestion methods that have a delayed onset, as an over-medicated yoga class might not be fun. Cannabis can really help bring us into the present moment and I have had some of my best work-outs while utilizing a bit of gods green herb.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9021-markdown","title":"What strains would you recommend for sports enhancement?   ","slug":"what-strains-would-you-recommend-for-sports-enhancement","content":"\"I've used sativas  such as Fruit Punch and Green Crack in replacement of my pre-workout gym shake and have had great effects however, I am curios to understand other strain alternatices and if you would recomend any specific strains as a \"sports enhancer\".  \"\n_____________________\nSativa strains is what I would recommend so it sounds like you are on the right course. Sour Diesel and Trainwreak are a couple other strains that may work well. I would recommend using edibles that can be absorbed into the body quickly such as mints or gummy bears as oppose to brownies for example. \n\nI would also refrain from smoking cannabis as it may limit your respiratory function. Vaporizing would be a better alternative than smoking. \n\nHere is a link for Stokes mints that come in Sativa, Hybrid, and Indica varieties: http://getstokes.com/our-products-new/\n \nAlso, after workingout, I would recommend vaporizing a CBD strain to help with muscle recovery such as AC/DC. \n\nHope this helps\n\n\nBartSmart","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":0,"numPages":1,"currentPage":1,"id":5776,"name":"Sports","slug":"sports","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
