Scotty talks with Josiah Hesse who is an avid runner, freelance
journalist and author of a new book titled, Runner’s High: How
a Movement of Cannabis-Fueled Athletes is Changing the Science of
Sports.
The book offers an immersive, investigative look into the hidden
culture of cannabis use among elite athletes, with a hyper-focus on
ultrarunners, and the surprising, emerging science behind the
elusive and exhilarating “runner’s high.”
Hesse explores why scientists believe marijuana may
actually be the key to getting more people off the couch and onto
their feet. He should know, because it’s part of his personal
journey, going from an unhealthy lifestyle to finding a joy in
running.
