Whether you're hitting the slopes for the weekend or simply taking a jog after work, incorporating cannabis into your exercise routine can help to expedite recovery, reduce inflammation and promote overall relaxation, naturally.

  Learn the Facts: Incorporating Cannabis into your Active Lifestyle People who live active lifestyles are generally the type of folks who treat their bodies as their temples. They are particular, sometimes even strict, about the purity of what they eat and drink. Feeling good and performing well are top priorities. But, when it comes to recovering from a hard workout or race, they can become far less picky. They don’t hesitate to layer their skin with over-the-counter (OTC) pain creams and muscle rubs. If they’re really hurting, they’ll eat a few ibuprofen for good measure. If their gut is acting up, they are fine to swallow some pink stuff or a couple of tiny tablets. Any remedy that works fast and takes away discomfort is good enough. However, these folks probably wouldn’t consume these drugs so readily if they knew a couple of factoids like: “The active ingredient in Pepto can leave behind a shiny metal oxide slag behind after being completely burnt...

"It was a historic moment," said Tripp Keber, head of Dixie Brands, a company that sells cannabis-infused fizzy drinks and other marijuana products. "This is the first time a presidential candidate has openly dealt with an industry still considered illegal at the federal level." As marijuana becomes big business in America, its political clout is also growing. Politicians are no longer embarrassed to be seen in public with so-called “pot barons” and the cannabis industry is gearing up to be a significant player in next year’s presidential election.

In addition to working as a vet, Katz is an elected member of the New York State Assembly, and he recently teamed up with Dixie Elixirs and Brands, one of the more prominent cannabis brands in Colorado, to create Therabis, a line of pet dietary supplements containing CBD. “To be very, very clear, there is no euphoria. So Fluffy is not going to be high.” Starting in November, Therabis will be selling three CBD-based pet supplements online, based on formulas Katz has developed.

The bane of comedians, our Kryptonite, our silver bullet, is heckling. It ruins our sets. It ruins our shows. It ruins our nights. And not just for comedians, but also for audiences. Heckling is verbal graffiti. When someone heckles during my show, I think, ‘This is why we can’t have nice things.’ And then I crush that heckler without remorse.

So today I feel like a traitor, because today I am the heckler. Dixie Elixirs has asked me and my good buddy J. Marc Chambers to heckle golfers while they drive off the eighth tee in the Sixth Annual Clinic Charity Classic Golf Tournament at City Park golf course. Golf tournaments are pretty high on the list of events you shouldn’t heckle. They’re right up there with baptisms, (‘I’ve seen better dunking in the WNBA!’), and trapeze acts, (‘Courtney Love has more balance than you!’) So J and I are feeling devilishly gleeful as we approach the gig. We know we shouldn’t be doing this and that’s why it’s so much damn fun. I also have a bit of trepidation. It is a tournament, after all, and there will probably be golfers who are actually trying to win. It’s going to take a lot of nerve to heckle competitors with handy titanium comic-beaters in their hands. But then J tells me the majority of the golfers either work for dispensaries or the companies that service th...
