Frequent Marijuana Consumers Are Actually More Physically Active Than Non-Users, Study Finds, Smashing Stereotypes
In a stereotype-busting new study, researchers found that frequent marijuana consumers are actually more likely to be physically active compared to their non-using counterparts.
For decades, anti-cannabis propaganda has cast marijuana consumers as unmotivated couch potatoes. This government-funded ad is a perfect example:
But a study published in the Harm Reduction Journal on Thursday found the opposite to be true. A nationally representative analysis of accelerometer-measured sedentary behavior showed that people who frequently use marijuana—particularly those aged 40 and older—spend more time engaging in physical activity than non-users do.
“Our findings do not support the mainstream perception of cannabis users as living sedentary lifestyles,” the researchers concluded.
In general, they found that “there’s no significant differences between non-current cannabis users and light, moderate, or frequent cannabis users in minutes per day spent in [sedentary behavior].” The difference came down to the average minutes that each group spent in physical activity.
“After controlling for all covariates, frequent cannabis users engaged in significantly greater amounts of light [physical activity] and [moderate-to-vigorous physical activity] compared to non-current users,” the study states. “In the unadjusted model, moderate cannabis use predicted more minutes spent in [moderate-to-vigorous physical activity] compared to non-current use, but this association was not significant upon controlling for all covariates. Light #cannabis users did not significantly differ from non-current users in time engaged in [physical activity.”
“The results suggest that frequent cannabis users engaged in more physical activity than non-current users, but spent similar amounts of time in #sedentary behavior,” the researchers said.
While the study indicated that light marijuana use is not associated with a statistically significant difference in time being physically active, those who infrequently use cannabis were more likely to self-report more moderate #physical activity compared to non-users.

Medical Marijuana Legalization Bill (SB 158) Approved By Kansas House of Representatives
The Kansas Senate approved SB 158 on March 25 and then sent the measure to the House, where it was amended by lawmakers. The bill will now head back to the upper chamber so that senators can consider the changes made in the House.
“The state of Kansas is finally catching up to the twenty-first century,” said Rep. Louis Ruiz, the ranking Democrat on the House Federal and State Affairs Committee. “Kansans need to have access to all possible health options available to them, especially if they are experiencing chronic illnesses. This bill will do exactly that. Many of our neighboring states have passed similar legislation. It’s time for us to do the same.”
Under SB 158, registered patients and caregivers would be permitted to buy up to a 90-day supply of medicinal cannabis products at a time. Patients would not be permitted to smoke or vape medical marijuana. The specific amount of cannabis would be determined by state officials, who would be tasked with drafting the rules and regulations for the medical marijuana program by July 1, 2023.

Michigan clarifies its position on hemp-derived CBD in food and dairy products
State agriculture regulators in Michigan provided guidance in an e-mail to food manufacturers, distributors and retailers this week, clarifying rules around using hemp seeds and extracts including #CBD in foods.
The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Food and Dairy Division, which oversees food manufacturers, distributors and retailers through routine inspections and sampling, updated businesses about the state’s position on hemp-derived ingredients.
The FDD said that although consumable hemp and CBD products have flooded the market in the past few years, not all products “are lawful or can be legally produced and sold in Michigan or across state lines.”
