Morgan English was sitting on the fire escape in her apartment, smoking weed, when she felt a pull toward a stationary bicycle. So she walked across the street to the gym. For the first time in her life, she said, exercise didn’t feel like punishment.

Increased consumer demand means more chemical-free cannabis options, but finding them isn’t as easy as looking for “organic” on the label.The Los Angeles-based company is among those betting big on the legal cannabis boom bringing fitness along. San Francisco is home to a “cannabis gym” that encourages visitors to light up and lift. A “Pelostoned” Facebook group has thousands of members who smoke cannabis and ride their stationary bikes.

Stoned + Toned instructor Bree Deanine takes a puff of marijuana while doing a routine for an online workout. Where are the social equity marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles? Check out our list of weed shops built on social justice and community vibes. Instructors then take a hit of weed — hand-selected strains sold in local dispensaries paired with each class — and smoke on and off throughout the warmup.

She has seven instructors, including herself, but some are new to the cannabis-workout space. English is in the process of planning in-person workouts.Bree Deanine teaches high-intensity and spin classes for Stoned+Toned, and said she’d never even considered putting together cannabis and exercise. But cannabis helps increase her motivation to work out, she said.

This is very unhealthy and bad. nothealthy

LA you sleep for thinking you’ve come up with something so simple…

I know it’s my own fitness habit

Actually it does help when I smoke and I walk. I feel great if I don’t have cannabis, I don’t feel so great.

What a joke.

🤮 true is more drugs more stupid people, or does someone discover a drug that makes you more inteligent?

That's a great way to combat the munchies

Wouldn't fetanyl be a more fitting drug to work out to in LA?

People have been getting high before and after working out for decades, it’s very LA to try and turn it into a “trend”

Opening down the street is “Jenny crank”; a spa that combines weight loss and heavy cocaine/methamphetamine use

Picture of the day! Loving the tiny weights 😂

Bad for your heart

Which insurance company is issuing the liability or CGL insurance policy? It must be insane.

Another garbage story, highlighting ridiculous behavior for the primary purpose of unraveling the threads that kept our society functioning and succeeding. So much refuse. Idiocracy in real time.

Why not? Everything else has turned to shite.

You ever tried lifting weights… on weed?!

Classy

Didn’t read, but for me… snacks ‘n naps are the post smoke activities of choice.

Basketball players do not consider this news.

I often smoke before playing soccer. I feel like I have better endurance and usually am more in-tune with my body, but sometimes it can make me sleepy or distracted

If you need to blaze just to get through a workout, your physical health is not the problem.

We’ve been doing this shit to solidify the mind to muscle connection even before the Jack3d craze began. But please, make these LA hippies feel special per usual

somebody invented the wheel in LA.

“It wasn’t about ‘How many miles can I bike? How much resistance can I put on? Can I do this for an hour?’” she says. “It was just joyful. Like I was just moving my body and I was doing it for myself … and it truly unlocked a whole new world for me.”
