Athletes consume cannabis for various reasons, including pain management. For others, it helps with anxiety and performance anxiety. Some have trouble with appetite and sleeping before or after competition, and it can help them with their regimen. Oftentimes, athletes have been demonized for consuming cannabis and treated as though they are trying to create a competitive advantage when, in fact, the athlete is dealing with normal human reactions and trying to calm and balance their nervous system.

🌿 Why Athletes Utilize Cannabis 🏈🏀⚾️⚽️🏃🏽‍♂️

More athletes are speaking openly about cannabis as a tool for wellness and performance. It’s not just about recreation—it’s about recovery, health, and quality of life. Here are some of the main reasons, in their own words:

✅ Pain Management
“Cannabis helped me deal with the physical pain of my career without being dependent on opioids.” – Eugene Monroe, former NFL lineman*

✅ Reducing Inflammation
“I played 16 years in the NFL. I don’t think I would have been able to do that without cannabis.” – Marvin Washington, former NFL defensive end

✅ Sleep & Recovery
“Cannabis has been an integral part of my recovery… it helps me sleep, and that’s one of the most important things for an athlete.” – Ricky Williams, former NFL running back

✅ Mental Health Support
“Cannabis is something that helps me slow down and relax, especially with the anxiety that can come with competing and life after sports.” – Cliff Robinson, former NBA player

✅ Safer Alternative to Pharmaceuticals
“I wanted something natural, not addictive, that worked for my body.” – Al Harrington, former NBA player & entrepreneur

💡 Cannabis isn’t about escape—it’s about healing, balance, and longevity for athletes during and after their careers.

👉 What are your thoughts? Do you see cannabis as a game-changer in sports recovery and wellness?

Corporate Cannabis vs. Legacy Cannabis: Who Really Profits?

The legal cannabis industry is booming, but let’s be real—who’s actually benefitting? While large corporations and wealthy investors, many of whom had no connection to cannabis until it became legal, are raking in billions, Black and brown communities—the very people disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs—are still struggling to gain a foothold in the legal market. Even worse, many are still sitting in prison for the same plant that’s now making others rich.

For decades, cannabis was criminalized, tearing apart Black families and communities. Now, as legalization sweeps the nation, white-owned corporations dominate the industry while many legacy operators—those who paved the way by growing, selling, and advocating for cannabis before it was legal—are locked out due to expensive licensing fees, restrictive regulations, and systemic barriers to entry.

This isn’t just about business; it’s about justice. It’s about equity. It’s about ensuring that the people who suffered most from prohibition aren’t left behind now that cannabis is mainstream.

We need real social equity programs that provide access to capital, resources, and opportunities for Black entrepreneurs in cannabis. We need automatic expungements and releases for those still incarcerated for nonviolent cannabis offenses. We need to stop prioritizing corporate profits over the people who built this industry from the ground up.

Cannabis legalization was supposed to be a movement, not just a money grab. Let’s make sure we don’t let history repeat itself.
