Can cannabis actually make exercise easier? In this episode, host Ellen Scanlon is joined by journalist Hilary Achauer, who explored that very question in The New York Times. What she found challenges stereotypes and reveals how cannabis can lower barriers to movement — especially for women.
Hilary shares stories of women who discovered that cannabis helped them ease chronic pain, quiet anxiety, and even reframe exercise from punishment into joy.
