CBD has become increasingly trendy in the athletic community. Indeed, it’s hard to find a professional sport nowadays with a few CBD fanatics in its league.
This begs the question: Is CBD legal to take during game day? Hemp is legal under the 2018 US Farm Bill, but does that make CBD OK in international sports?
According to the World Anti-Doping Agency, CBD is no longer a banned substance. As long as athletes use CBD products from a hemp plant with ≤ 0.3 percent THC, there’s no issue adding this cannabinoid to your game plan.
Stay In The Game With Tribe’s Cooling Gel
While taking CBD internally has many pros, sometimes athletes need instant relief from their sore muscles. Arguably, this is the crucial reason CBD topicals have become increasingly popular with pro athletes. Since our skin has cannabinoid receptors, some scientists believe we can absorb CBD molecules transdermally. In fact, there’s recent evidence out of the University of Kentucky that topical CBD may reduce knee inflammation.
