From Banned To Backed: How Cannabis + Sports Are Changing The Game

“Weed is like wine”

Just a few years ago, talking about marijuana in sports was a controversy waiting to happen—now, it's part of the conversation on athlete health, pain management, and performance recovery.

In this episode, Amy and Scott dive into how major U.S. pro leagues are rethinking drug policies, why marijuana is treated like alcohol in some leagues (but still banned in the Olympics), and how athletes like Kevin Durant and Travis Kelce have pushed for change.

Plus, we chat about Aaron Rodgers’ psychedelic journey and retired athletes cashing in on cannabis businesses (hello, Mike Tyson's edibles shaped like an ear).

It's a topic of discussion at happy hours, and if you're like us, your family dinners, so join in on the conversation.
