Olympics and CBD are compatible - practice 2021 has proven

The Olympics, fundamentally different from others, was controlled by the Anti-Doping Agency. The uniqueness of the Summer Games in Tokyo 2021 is that for the first time cannabidiol was excluded from the banned drugs. This decision was made by the International Olympic Committee back in 2018 and CBD oil is allowed to be used by Olympians at the official level.

Medical marijuana has been recognized as an unparalleled medicinal plant by the World Health Organization and the United Nations. This decision is not decisive in the formation of the legal field of any independent state. However, this deprives sovereign legislations of support if they are not reviewed and harmonized with international standards.

President Zelensky was repeatedly asked about the legalization of medical marijuana, and in each answer he clarified that he supports CBD oil - “medical marijuana in drops”. Although it is not advertised, some Olympians from Ukraine necessarily used preparations containing cannabidiol. This substance has a unique ability to increase the elasticity of ligaments and muscles, and also relieves mental stress.

Athletes give the body not only physical activity. Their psyche is under stress when performing at such a competitive level. For example, lecturers in Italy have been officially given drinks with CBD before the report since 2015 to relieve stress and get rid of the fear of a large audience. Athletes entering open stadiums experience similar psychological stress.

Any Ukrainian has the opportunity to try the effect of cannabidiol on himself. In our online store, you can choose products with CBD oil from European manufacturers from the catalog . The quality of the CBD oil that Olympic athletes may use must be monitored by the competitors themselves. The fact is that according to the regulations of the Anti-Doping Agency, in products containing cannabidiol, there should not be more than 0.3% THC. This is exactly the border that, according to the EU standard, separates marijuana from hemp.

People's deputies of Ukraine have not yet allowed medical marijuana to the pharmaceutical market, but you can buy CBD in Ukraine even in its pure form. The fact is that cannabidiol does not have mental activity at all. For recreational action and psychoactivity, another substance is responsible - TetraHydroCannabinol (THC, THC). That is why its content in CBD oil is so strictly controlled. For example, in Japan, the sale of cannabidiol is not regulated at all, and it is sold as ordinary vegetable oil. But only if there is no more than 0.0001% THC.

Athletes welcome any relief from the Anti-Doping Agency. Especially if the use of cannabidiol helps to reduce stress and adapt the body without causing harm to health. The International Olympic Committee monitors the use of any drug very closely, and if they allowed cannabidiol, then they recognized its effects. CBD oil can be used by ordinary people, even those who are far from sports. After all, medical marijuana is legalized, primarily as a means for treating people with serious illnesses, only thanks to the content of CBD.
