Golfers are speaking up about cannabis, this according to a recent report by the New York Times.

According to the publication, five-time PGA Tour winner Billy Horschel has been vocal about CBD and says it has helped him physically “return to top form” by mitigating inflammation and improving sleep.

Horschel recently invested in Beam, a CBD company, which lists the PGA golf star as a member of the #BeamTeam on its Instagram page. He’s not alone — the trend appears to be catching on, according to the NYT — PGA favorites Bubba Watson and Scott McCarron are also sponsors of CBD brands.

Though CBD was removed from the banned substances list for golfers back in 2018, the tour is still conservative on the matter. According to the publication, the PGA has been clear golfers that use CBD risk failed drug tests if products contains THC.

Robert Garrigus and Matt Every — two other pro golfers — received three months suspensions after testing positive for THC, according to the outlet.

On the matter, Garrigus told the New York Times:

“The fact that it is socially unacceptable for cannabis and CBD right now blows my mind..it’s OK to take OxyContin and black out and run into a bunch of people, but you can’t take CBD and THC without someone looking at you funny. It makes no sense.”

Weed Makes Me Introspective: When Cannabis Causes Us to Reconsider Our Life Choices

Pot Prompts Self-Reflection

Being stoned comes with a wealth of side effects – some of which are just part of the fun, while others have been known to get smeared all over a person’s psyche, causing them to gawk out the window every thirty seconds to see if the cops are coming up the stairs.

Perhaps the least discussed byproduct of the bud, however, is its uncanny ability to send the user into a maddening state of introspection. Cannabis can make individuals more attuned to their bodily sensations, emotions, and inner thoughts, which can contribute to this introspective state. Weed can often inspire the high-minded to start questioning their life choices, setting them on a path of self-doubt, self-loathing, and self-destruction.

Through Iranian genetics sourcing, cannabis in Iran is collected from specific regions, emphasizing the unique and wild plant varieties. Mag Landrace is just one of the Persian nation’s homegrown strains, beloved for its intense indica effects, deep green and purple hues, and abundance of trichomes, resins and oils that make it ideal for smoking and hash-making.

Sex on Shrooms: How to Prepare Yourself

If you've tripped on psilocybin (a.k.a., magic mushrooms) before, you're already well aware what an intense experience it can be. And if shrooms can take an average activity like listening to music to an entirely different universe, you can probably imagine what sex on shrooms might feel like.

As intense and amazing as mushroom sex can be, it can also be an incredibly negative experience if you're not careful. Most psychotropic substances are best experienced when you curate the right set and setting, and sex on magic mushrooms is no different.
