  2. Smoke a smaller amount before working out than you normally would
  3. If you’re an experienced user, think twice before microdosing and exercising
  4. Marijuana can help you tolerate discomfort, so you may be able to do more
  5. Cannabis can help you dial in on focus, so you get in the zone faster
  6. It can also make your workout more fun
  7. It might even speed up your recovery
