Exploring Cannabis & Exercise
Where the anecdotes meet the data with Dr. Whitney Ogle.
Exploring Cannabis & Exercise
Weed Smuggling Surfers, Cannabis Studies, and Stoned Ping Pong
This week I’m talking to my friend and colleague Dr. Dominic Corva who is the Director of the new Cannabis Studies degree at Cal Poly Humboldt. His professional expertise is in geography and drug policy, so we cover a ton interesting topics today including the role of surfers in globalizing (or smuggling) weed across the world and the policies that restricted funding research on the benefits of cannabis. He also talks more about the cannabis studies undergraduate program now in its first semester at Cal Poly Humboldt and an interdisciplinary grant he's working on with a great team investigating the legacy genetics of cannabis and the stories of the people behind the weed in California.
...and we even talk about smoking joints and playing ping pong.

**Friendly reminder/disclaimer** I am not suggesting everyone use cannabis with exercise. Cannabis is definitely not for everyone. But if you're curious about your own use, understanding more about why people use cannabis with exercise, or want to learn about the latest research in the field, you're in the right place. Make good choices out there.
