Are CBD and THC performance-enhancing drugs?

Key Points:

• Studies suggest that CBD may have anti-inflammatory properties that could aid in muscle recovery and pain relief.
• THC, the psychoactive component in marijuana, is not likely to enhance athletic performance and may have negative effects such as impaired coordination and judgment.
• Both CBD and THC are banned in most professional sports leagues, including the Olympics, due to their classification as controlled substances.

Hot Take:

It seems like CBD might be the golden ticket for athletes looking for some relief without the doping drama, whereas THC might just leave you running in circles… literally.
