Do you use Cannabis or CBD?

Participate in Our Cannabis & Performance Research

Cannabis, or marijuana, has been used for medicinal purposes for many years but there is still more for us to understand.

Hockaday Rx, in collaboration with the USC School of Pharmacy, is conducting ongoing research into how athletes and active adults are actually using CBD so we can learn what that data can tell us about safe, effective, sport-compliant protocols.
