Smoking anything before hitting the gym might seem like a bad choice, but a new California gym is betting on marijuana as a performance enhancer for its members.

While the idea of adding cannabis to your workout routine still seems somewhat counter-intuitive, it's gradually gaining acceptance.

Cannabis consumers are as varied as they come, and as such there are plenty of people who both toke and enjoy taking care of their health.

Some people stretch before they workout. Others smoke a joint.

The event is the brainchild of Jim McAlpine who came up with the idea more than two years ago as a way to "de-stigmatize the millions who use cannabis in a healthy and responsible lifestyle."

Sure, you've got a great fitness routine that's doing wonders for you. But have you ever tried working out while high?

Some of the biggest stars are big advocates.

While there’s nothing particularly innovative about using the gloriously versatile cannabis sativa plant as a medicine, where, when, how and moreover, why we use it is, in fact, evolving.

There has been emerging evidence that cannabis reduces pain, muscle spasms, stiffness, and inflammation in humans.

Ever thought about getting high before yoga? 

Cannabis is quickly becoming a popular supplement for athletes, and it can help you, too.

There is a growing community of athletes that believe cannabis can improve athletic performance.

A former pro football star and an advocate for athlete marijuana use have teamed up to open a gym in San Francisco that they say will be one of the first in the world to allow members to smoke pot while working out.
