Cannabis Sports Medicine! It's about time we talk about it.
Join the Knox Docs TOMORROW at ACHEM's first ever Global Health Summit focused wholly on athletes and the associations that govern their cannabis use.
The FREE, virtual, full day event features college and professional athletes, coaches, trainers, clinicians, researchers, biochemical engineers, and data scientists who are coming together to discuss the utility and safety of cannabis use across youth, collegiate, and professional sports.
These conversations are SO important to have right now given the social, political, and capitalistic climate surrounding regulation efforts. This summer, ShaʼCarri Richardson was removed from the Track & Field team for testing positive for cannabis. Just a few weeks later, Megan Rapino publicly endorsed CBD and launched a CBD brand. Is it okay for athletes to use CBD, but not other cannabinoids? Does it make sense to make this distinction? The World Anti-Doping Code, a standard followed by sports leagues and associations the world-over, continues to prohibit all cannabinoids except CBD due to their risk of harm to athletes and their performance, and to the image of sport. Does the science support their position? Or does it indicate that cannabis has the potential to address the most pervasive and debilitating conditions facing athletes as they work to excel in their sport?
We'll be answering it all.
