Runner's High
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.
