Carving on Cannabis with a Snowboard Gold Medalist

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In this episode of FUEL, Canadian Olympic Snowboarder Ross Rebagliati embraces his infamous past and embarks on a new venture. Ross Rebagliati was once embroiled in unchartered controversy at the 1998 Olympics in Nagano where he won gold and then tested positive for cannabis in the first-ever snowboarding giant slalom event. In the end, there was no infraction of the rules and his gold medal was reinstated. Fast-forward to today where cannabis culture and legislation has drastically changed; Ross is now the go-to guy for cannabis in athletics. He openly helms a thriving cannabis company, which is a direct nod to his past: Ross- Gold. Ross whisks us around Whistler showing us how he-s fully embraced and integrated cannabis into his life and diet. Consuming cannabis helps to fuel his body by increasing his appetite, essentially giving him the Munchies and enabling him to consume the calories he needs to actively perform and function as a faster and stronger athlete. If you do have cannabis, make sure you do have food nearby because you-re going to feel hungry! -Ross Rebagliati

I wouldn't be surprised if consuming lots of weed actually negatively impacts Ross' appetite because of tolerance and the downregulation of appetite hormones to compensate for the uptick in exogenous cannabinoids. I'm a daily marijuana enjoyer myself and have noticed this specific phenomenon, and there is also at least one sound study that documents the same thing. Anyone who's taken T-breaks can vouch that eating is hard for the first 2-4 days of smoking cessation. I do tend to follow an addiction pattern of dopamine spiking however, so it's possible that my experiences with food are more informed by my relationship between food and dopamine vs. my dopamine-spiking behavior patterns. Who knows. Everyone is different, but almost everyone can change things, so it's worth a thought if Ross Rebagliati/any readers have considered changing their consumption patterns to up-regulate appetite hormones and natural feeding cycles, there might just be room for improvement.

Right on! I'm a tree climber I juggle chainsaws and make magic happen 100 feet in the air and I have a safety meeting several times a day. It helps me focus and allows me to see dangerous situations for my crew or myself. Being a climber is like being a professional athlete except you have no off season if you travel south for winter work like I do. Every climber and I mean EVERY CLIMBER I know blazes and all for the same reasons slows down the ADHD and PAIN haha. Multiple falls been crushed drug out of trees too many injuries to list got my medical permit in Colorado and Michigan and I couldn't do it without MJ. Started out climbing cellphone towers and iron working back when it was fun before the safety crap and 100% tie off rule and been climbing trees for the last 25+ years so far and still outspiking these young'uns haha Rock On brah

I absolutely support legalization and anybody who wants to get high and do whatever. -But I get annoyed when people keep using the word medicate. -It's a narrative that is annoying as hell. -You have a disease? What's your diagnosis? who diagnosed you? Have you tried or are you open to other treatments in addition to or other than medication as we would recommend with most health issues? -How come we recognize we want to have an alternative to advil but do not question the healthiness of 'medicating' with cannabis first thing in the morning and the whole rest of the day? That is some serious dependency on medication. We would most likely question this kind of dependency if it was happening with other meds.

as a weed smoker for the past 10 years. I can add my two cents on the whole appetite thing--if you smoke consistently and eat when high. your body will get used to that. So when I didnt smoke on a month long family vacation I was dyinggggg the first week. I couldnt sleep, couldnt eat etc--now if your appetite has been low before chronic use of weed. then thats just how your body is and you might wanna get checked out by a G. I

he says cannabis is a performance enhancer, he wins gold at the olympics. soooo he basically cheated but got away with it because cannabis wasnt on the list of banned substances. listen i get it, cbd benefits are awesome for humans, but this guy is a super addict when it comes to being high on thc. theres no consequences or bad behavior so its ok. better than coke alcohol heroin or cigarettes though.

Cool video, cool dude, but I think him recommending everyone would benefit like he does from cannabis is misinformed. Not everyone has the exact, same physiological makeup and any diet, drug, lifestyle or otherwise isn't a one-size-fits-all. I definitely agree there's some great aspects of cannabis with certain people in certain circumstances, but he must be really stoned to think everyone needs it.

honestly this reads more like a cautionary tale of how despite not being physically addictive you can become utterly dependent on cannabis to perform all of your basic daily functions after years of overuse. i vape almost daily, but not to this extent and i'm glad i watched this film, but the presentation is kind of ignoring the elephant in the room.

As a long time ski instructor, its such a part of the game. Weed allows you to be present and enjoy your time on the mountain. Those morning chairlift rides smoking a bowl with the sun coming up over the mountains is what i live for. Night skiing when the lights are on is better stoned as well. drop into the trees and smoke a joint. life is grand

Being a stoner and a snowboarder rarely work hand and hand. Usually you want to be free of restraint so being binded to a single board would most likely cause hip irritation. When you use a set of ski's you are faced forward but when you snowboard you have to turn forward while keeping your feet pointed sideways.
