 Cannabis use is widespread, totaling more than 400 possible compounds with the most prevalent compound being THC . THC has a psychotropic effect on the central nervous system by acting on CB1 and an analgesic by working on CB2 receptors. CB1/CB2 receptors are activated by the attachment of the ligand, Anandamide [1] . Marijuana has been shown to elevate resting heart rate and systolic/diastolic pressure after consumption [2] . Marijuana has also been seen to produce bronchodilation in patients with bronchoconstriction secondary to asthma [3] . Many athletes consume marijuana for their euphoric effects by reducing stress and anxiety. By reducing stress before competition allows for adequate sleep, which allows for optimal performance [4] .
