Just a few short years ago, cannabis was still viewed as highly illegal in most of the United States and the rest of the world.
So, whether you’re a recreational or professional sports player, let’s take a look at how you may be able to use cannabis to treat your injuries.
As mentioned, the science and view on cannabis have changed massively over the years, from widely accepted to mostly banned and now, slowly, back towards being accepted again.
THC, as explained by the cannabis pros over at delta 8, is a psychoactive substance that among other positive sensations, can cause, feelings of euphoria and relaxation.
So, what is a sports injury and how can cannabis come into play? Well, the most common type of sports injury is muscular strains and tears.
Almost all cannabis products have been shown to help reduce inflammation.
It is worth noting that on top of this, both CBD and certain types of THC have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety.
What kinds of cannabis products would be suitable for this kind of treatment? Well, if you focus on muscular strains, you can always opt for a cream or ointment.
This can help with the pain, anxiety, and stress of an injury, whilst also getting to work on any inflammation in your body.
Often, you’ll find edibles in the form of sweet treats, which is a nice bonus! These are slower working as they have to be digested and often can create quite a buzz in terms of psychoactive response.
It is worth mentioning that although these compounds are now legal in many states and countries, plenty of sporting regulatory boards does not also see cannabis this way.
If you have picked up any injuries through sport, it can help you recover, alongside professional treatment.
