For the study, they first designed a simple questionnaire that asked people some general questions about themselves, including their age, gender, height and weight. It also asked if people felt that using marijuana made their workout more pleasurable, upped or reduced their desire to work out, and possibly hastened their recovery afterward. Eventually, they wound up with responses from more than 600 men and women who used cannabis, most of whom said they also exercised at least sometimes. It turned out that almost 82 percent of them said that they used cannabis around the time of their workouts. This group tended to be younger, leaner and more often male than those who did not use marijuana in conjunction with exercise.
