Jesse Rich of Nutrition Rundown talks about the impact and effects of marijuana and alcohol on running.

• Alcohol affects nutrient absorption, particularly B vitamins.
• Mental clarity and motivation can be affected by alcohol.
• CBD is non-psychoactive and can aid in relaxation and sleep.
• THC is psychoactive and can affect heart rate and anxiety levels.
• Cannabis may be a safer alternative to alcohol for some individuals.
• Research on cannabis is still evolving, especially regarding its effects on performance.
• CBD shows promise as an anti-inflammatory, but its effects are not as strong as NSAIDs.
