Sha\'Carri Richardson thought she was going to the Olympic this summer after winning the 100m sprint.\\xa0 But when she tested positive for THC after the race, she was disqualified.

Like Richardson, several elite athletes have made headlines recently, while the use of marajuana has pretty much been an open secret among the best of the best.

But why?\\xa0 What is the science behind this controversial plant?\\xa0 What researchers are starting to learn is that the natural runner\\u2019s high that we feel when we go for a run is directly related to the one you get from THC and NOT from endorphins like so many believe.

Now there\\u2019s a whole lot more to this topic than getting stoned and going for a run, I promise you, and today I\\u2019m going to talk to the investigative journalist who literally wrote the book on it.

Josiah Hesse\\u2019s work has been featured in publications including Vice, The Guardian, Politico, and Esquire.\\xa0 In his new book, RUNNER\\u2019S HIGH, Josiah takes us on a journey through the secret world of athletes who experience astounding, cannabis-inspired physical and mental transformations.\\xa0 He explores the groundbreaking science of the runner\\u2019s high, the economics of the $20 billion CBD market, and the fundamental racism and inequalities in the enforcement of marijuana prohibition.

Regardless of what you feel personally or politically about marijuana, and how it relates to running, this is a stereotype-busting deep dive into a fascinating topic and I hope you\\u2019ll join me for the trip.
