Cannabis in Professional Sports

(Panel Discussion)

With cannabis increasingly in the spotlight as athletes fight for the right to access and use their medicine of choice, current and former professional athletes share their stories. Representing a variety of sports leagues, athletes talk about using cannabis for athletic performance, including training, focus and recovery aspects. Moderated by Dr. Rick Lioger-Weyback [assuming he’s available], the discussion will offer personal athlete perspectives on cannabis relative to crucial issues such as concussions and brain injuries, mental health, and substance abuse, with medical cannabis as a viable alternative to highly addictive opiates.
