In an unorthodox interview, UC Berkeley English major Jazmine Velasquez digs into the potential of cannabis in the sports and fitness world with two athletes who have a strong social media presence.
A few days after the interview, I get a message from Megan in an Instagram DM chat. She says she has been thinking about our interview non-stop and that “I’m ready to pursue this when the time is right. Why not? The market is wide open now.”
Whether the idea of cannabis growing in the fitness industry is considered radical or not is really up to the individual. If there is a possibility of proper research on marijuana and its benefits on the human body coming out soon, we could be seeing products like CBD oils, protein edibles, and new varieties of cannabis strands made solely for fitness promoted on Instagram ad stories. There are chefs like Cat Cora elevating CDB and THC in cuisine so who is to say it couldn't happen in the sports world? We are at a turning point when it comes to the stigmatization of weed in the public eye. With California legalizing marijuana sales and growth, the possibilities are endless.
Megan is right: The fitness and cannabis market, along with all the new and innovative business ventures that come along with it, is wide open and waiting for the right people to advocate for it.
