Exploring Cannabis & Exercise

Can Cannabis Increase Physical Activity? With Vanessa Stallsmith Shapiro

Hello and Welcome back to Exploring Cannabis and Exercise. The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data.  This week I am so excited to highlight Vanessa Stallsmith Shapiro who is a doctoral candidate at Colorado State University and currently seeking participants for her dissertation exploring how cannabis influences the experience of physical activity in people who use cannabis regularly but are not very active. She will talk about how the study came to be, what’s expected of the participants, and why the results will be important.  More info in this link about the study and who is eligible to participate:  https://psychology.colostate.edu/research-hosted-projects/ [https://psychology.colostate.edu/research-hosted-projects/]  Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/exploringcannabisandexercise] To learn more about Dr. Ogle, visit https://www.whitneyogle.com [https://www.whitneyogle.com/] If you’d like to be guest, have any guest ideas, or have any questions about cannabis and exercise you’d like me to talk about, send me a DM on Instagram @exploringcannabisandexercise [https://www.instagram.com/exploringcannabisandexercise/] or email me at cannabisandexercise@gmail.com [cannabisandexercise@gmail.com].

The Sweden Episode with Smoke Tower

This week I am finally sharing a much over-do episode I recorded with Alex and Penny from Smoke Tower when I visited Sweden last summer. This store in the outskirts of Stockholm is the first headshop in Sweden - tirelessly working on changing the culture, educating the public, and providing cannabis to people. We talk about the difference between Swedish and American cannabis culture, Swedish sport, and you’ll even learn how to say the word “stoner” in Swedish. So if you're like me and thinking about bailing the US for another country, this is a great episode for you.  Och - om någon i Sverige lyssnar på min pod och känner till något jobb innom, mitt fält, så försöker jag lära mig svenska för att kunna söka jobb. https://smoketower.com/ [https://smoketower.com/]  @smoketower https://www.instagram.com/smoketowerofficial/ [https://www.instagram.com/smoketowerofficial/]  Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/exploringcannabisandexercise] To learn more about Dr. Ogle, visit https://www.whitneyogle.com [https://www.whitneyogle.com/] If you’d like to be guest, have any guest ideas, or have any questions about cannabis and exercise you’d like me to talk about, send me a DM on Instagram @exploringcannabisandexercise [https://www.instagram.com/exploringcannabisandexercise/] or email me at cannabisandexercise@gmail.com [cannabisandexercise@gmail.com].

Why Did WADA Ban Weed for Olympians? with Dr. Jonny Lisano & Liz Thompson

Have you been watching the Olympics too? Weed has been on the list of banned substances for athletes in the Olympics decided by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This week Dr. Jonny Lisano [https://www.colorado.edu/center/cuchange/jonny-lisano], PhD Candidate Liz Thompson [https://maryjaneathletics.com/] (@trainwith.maryjane [https://www.instagram.com/trainwith.maryjane/]) and I talk through the three criteria WADA uses to determine banned substances in international sport competitions and why they put weed on the list. We also talk about what we need to do as cannabis and sport & exercise researchers & educators before the LA2028 Olympics.

CBD Dosages in Research vs. Public with Dr. Laura Stewart

Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data. This week I am so excited to share my conversation with Dr. Laura Stewart - professor in the department of Kinesiology, Nutrition, & Dietetics at University of Northern Colorado [https://www.unco.edu/nhs/sport-exercise-science/faculty-staff/laura-stewart.aspx]. I met Laura at the ACSM Rocky Mountain meeting in Spring of 2021 where we gave two out of the three talks that day about cannabis and exercise and saw her again at the Cannabis Research Conference last summer in Denver.  If you go back to Episode 4 with Jonny Lisano [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1966271/episodes/10675775], you’ll hear a little more about other cannabis and exercise research she’s been up to because Jonny was one of her graduate students! Her lab has since done more research on CBD and exercise, for example this study published in 2023 [https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/12/2664] and this article from 2024 [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949834124000011].  One of the big things we talk about in this episode is the difference between research doses of CBD vs. commercially available doses of CBD. As you’ll hear in this episode, Dr. Stewart is smart, accomplished, cool and just as excited about sharing cannabis and exercise research with the public as I am.  As always, hope you enjoy this episode and make good choices out there.  Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/exploringcannabisandexercise] To learn more about Dr. Ogle, visit https://www.whitneyogle.com [https://www.whitneyogle.com/] If you’d like to be guest, have any guest ideas, or have any questions about cannabis and exercise you’d like me to talk about, send me a DM on Instagram @exploringcannabisandexercise [https://www.instagram.com/exploringcannabisandexercise/] or email me at cannabisandexercise@gmail.com [cannabisandexercise@gmail.com].

Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data. This week I’m happy to share my conversation with Jay from @liftinglifted on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/liftingliftedapparel/].

We also talk about what the weed scene is like in Texas which was WILD to learn about.  If you’re hearing this before Wednesday April 3rd, 2024 and want to help fund cannabis research, you can donate to the Humboldt Institute for Interdisciplinary Marijuana Research (HIIMR) on The Day of Giving. [https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/hiimr2024]  I’m gearing up to launch a few cannabis and exercise studies and am slowly building a team of students to help me including my newest graduate student who just got accepted to our masters program at Cal Poly Humboldt Jorge! So your donations will help us turn our ideas into reality!  In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this episode and make good choices out there!
