Exploring Cannabis & Exercise
Where the anecdotes meet the data with Dr. Whitney Ogle.
Episodes
This week I am finally sharing a much over-do episode I recorded with Alex and Penny from Smoke Tower when I visited Sweden last summer. This store in the outskirts of Stockholm is the first headshop in Sweden - tirelessly working on changing the culture, educating the public, and providing cannabis to people. We talk about the difference between Swedish and American cannabis culture, Swedish sport, and you’ll even learn how to say...
Have you been watching the Olympics too?
Weed has been on the list of banned substances for athletes in the Olympics decided by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This week Dr. Jonny Lisano, PhD Candidate Liz Thompson (@trainwith.maryjane) and I talk through the three criteria WADA uses to determine banned substances in international sport competitions and why they put weed on the list. We also talk about what we need to do a...
Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data. This week I am so excited to share my conversation with Dr. Laura Stewart - professor in the department of Kinesiology, Nutrition, & Dietetics at University of Northern Colorado. I met Laura at the ACSM Rocky Mountain meeting in Spring of 2021 where we gave two out of the three talks that day about cannabis and exercise and...
Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data.
This week I’m happy to share my conversation with Jay from @liftinglifted on Instagram. We connected on Instagram because he makes great shirts for fit stoners to wear to the gym.
In this episode we talk about his experiences going from being a Marine to learning about cannabis and exercise and using his creativity to create Lif...
Today I’m excited to share my conversation with Dr. Hilary Marusak who is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences at Wayne State University (WSU) School of Medicine in Detroit Michigan.
We connected a few years ago after her research team published a review paper on the effects of exercise on the endocannabinoid system.
In this episode we talk about her research related to cannabis and th...
Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data.
Today I have a fan favorite guest Dupree Stewart back on to talk about why he decided to cut back on cannabis to help with his MMA training. If you go back to the 5th episode of the podcast, Dupree talked about how he used cannabis to help manage pain, to eat, and to recover with his training. Then, I ran into Dupree at Costco a...
Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data.
This week I am so excited to share my conversation with my colleague Dr. Ronnie Swartz, who is a professor of Social Work at Cal Poly Humboldt. Ronnie and I met through HIIMR and have worked on cannabis-related studies, grants, and public health education together.
Because we come from different disciplines, we have different la...
Welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise, the podcast where the anecdotes meet the data. When I first started getting into cannabis & exercise research in 2017, there really wasn’t that much out there in research, but there were instagram accounts like our guest’s @Bells_Bongs _Buds and hashtags like #fitstoner or #420fitness or #cannathlete.
I am so happy to share this conversation with Johnny from Bells, Bongs, &a...
Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data. And happy new year!
So for my first episode of the year, I thought we’d start the new year with a new cannabis researcher at University of Colorado - Devon Rapken. I met Devon at the Cannabis Research Conference in Denver last summer and we have stayed in touch ever since. In this conversation, we talk about our interest in the...
Hello and Welcome back to Exploring Cannabis and Exercise. The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data.
This holiday season some of us will be consuming cannabis with our families while some of us will still be tiptoeing in conversations with family members about weed. So I thought this would actually be a good episode to drop this time of year that I recorded with my friend Anthony Monaco. I met Anthony when I was living in Indi...
This week I’m excited to share a conversation between me and my cousin, Haley, who helped me get this podcast off the ground. This will be a little different from all the other episodes because Haley interviews me! So, you’ll get to learn all about my academic journey and thoughts on cannabis or as Haley says in the episode: why you should trust what I’m saying - that I’m not just some stoner in the woods. 😛
Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data. This week I’m talking with Dr. J. Derek Kingsley, professor at Kent State University in Ohio. We recorded this right after Ohioans voted to approve recreational cannabis in the state! We talk about his experience of being a pain researcher to being a chronic pain patient himself after a gnarly injury and using medical cannabis ...
This week I’m talking with Tony Fur - the co-founder and CEO of OffField. It’s a company that makes cannabis drinks and edibles for people to enjoy with exercise. I love their catch phrase “movement made happy” - which is just the perfect encapsulation of what we’ve found in the research when we ask people why they combine weed with exercise - to help them enjoy the exercise experience.
In this episode Tony talks about his own expe...
This week PhD candidate Kirsten Thornhill is back to share her journey from translating research for cannabis companies and working with athletes to now conducting her own research on cannabis use in athletes. We also have a spicy little convo about whether weed should be banned in college and olympic sport.

Today I talk to Otha Smith III from the Tetragram App about his own journey with cannabis and to learn more about his app. With the crazy number of options of cannabis products available on the market today, it's hard to know where to start and can sometimes take a while to figure out which products actually work for you. I am looking forward to collecting more data using the app myself and to use Tetragram in research!
This week I’m talking to my friend and colleague Dr. Dominic Corva who is the Director of the new Cannabis Studies degree at Cal Poly Humboldt. His professional expertise is in geography and drug policy, so we cover a ton interesting topics today including the role of surfers in globalizing (or smuggling) weed across the world and the policies that restricted funding research on the benefits of cannabis. He also talks more about th...
If you've ever wondered what it's like for two kinesiology/exercise science professors to talk about cannabis and exercise, this episode is for you!
Dr. Matt Schubert is a tenured professor at CSU - San Marcos and he and I have been collaborating as researchers and creators of the Sport, Physical Activity, Cannabis & Exercise (SPACE) group open to all researchers studying cannabis and exercise. (Email me if you&a...
This week I am so excited to highlight PhD candidate Kirsten Thornhill who is doing her dissertation on cannabis and exercise. She will talk about the study she is conducting and why it is important. You can participate in this study if you exercise at least 150 min/week, have used cannabis at least 1x in the last 6 months, and are in the United States. Click here if you qualify and want to participate in the study. It is totally a...
This week I'm talking with Tarris Batiste who wrote the book "Don't Let it Smoke You: How to Create a Nontoxic Relationship with Cannabis".
We talk about the influence of high school basketball players in starting to smoke weed, smoking (and getting in trouble for smoking) as a college football athlete, and ultimately Tarris' evolving relationship with weed. At some point he realized that maybe cannabi...
This week you'll hear my conversation with a former student of mine - she was in two of my classes and always did projects in my classes about cannabis. G is a go-getter who started massage school right after undergrad - so it was fun to learn more about her and her journey.
