In the United States, 38 states now permit the use of cannabis for recreational and/or medicinal purposes. The 2028 Olympics will be held in Los Angeles, California, USA. This is the first time in modern history that an Olympiad will occur in a locale with legal recreational cannabis. The purpose of this webinar is the provide a summary of the physical and health effects of cannabis. We discuss acute responses to cannabis consumption, physiological effects, and examine longitudinal data through the lens of health. Emphasis is placed on the effects of cannabis on the cardiovascular system, metabolism, and sleep. We are primarily focusing on cannabis products containing delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), with a brief discussion of CBD.
