The key to a "runner's high" is marijuana, according to a new book

2021-09-13 00:00:00

Journalist Josiah Hesse wrote "Runner's High: How a Movement of Cannabis-Fueled Athletes Is Changing the Science of Sports." In the book, he argues that cannabis is changing the sport of distance running.

"The 39-year-old journalist contends that pot makes for a more focused and relaxed athlete, creating a positive-feedback loop around exercise that can lead to improved performance.

The thorny subject of athletes and pot took center stage this summer before the Tokyo Olympics, when Sha'Carri Richardson was suspended from the U.S. track and field team after testing positive for the banned substance."
