Marijuana Exercise

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder released study data showing that 80% of marijuana users, in places where it’s legal, use marijuana before and/or after a workout.

The study included data from 600 marijuana users in Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and California.

“There is a stereotype that cannabis use leads people to be lazy and couch-locked and not physically active, but these data suggest that this is not the case,” said professor Angela Bryan.

Additionally, 345 “co-users” (persons who use marijuana with exercise) said they were more likely to use it after than before exercising, while 67% said they did both.

Among the co-users, 70% said it increased enjoyment of exercise, 78% said it boosted recovery, and 52% said it heightened motivation.

Arizona legalized marijuana for recreational use in November 2020. The law allows adults aged 21+ to purchase, possess and use cannabis. State-licensed cannabis dispensaries began selling recreational marijuana in early 2021. There are over 150 dispensaries in Arizona — a majority of them are in populous areas such as Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff. Recreational cannabis delivery services began operating in 2024.
