There’s no sport harder on your body and mind than rugby. Anna has experienced that firsthand. In her quest to recover from her many concussions and injuries from her athletic career, she’s found THC–and now she’s doing her part to bring it into the mainstream as a method of healing.
Anna Symonds is an Ambassador for the nonprofits Athletes for CARE, Last Prisoner Project, and the Concussion Legacy Foundation. In her twenty-year rugby career, she earned many awards and titles such as a USA Rugby Division I National Championship. Now, Anna is the Director of Education for East Fork Cultivars, where she runs the Cannabis Class educational program. She is a member of the International Cannabinoid Research Society and serves on the Oregon Cannabis Commission's Research Leadership Subcommittee.
On this episode of Good Dudes Grow, jam with Gary and Anna as they talk about the impact of tough sports like rugby on the human body. As Anna got used to the rigor of the sport, she learned a lot; how to take care of her body and manage the pain, and how to recover after a game. Cannabis is one way that she overcame the physical toll. With her passion for THC, she’s become involved in several foundations that advocate for drug reform and alternative medicine. Tune in today to hear about her current projects, and be inspired by her drive to destigmatize the use of plants in sports medicine.
