More and more cannabis companies are beginning to see the value of sponsoring athletes. By promoting cannabis as part of a healthy and active lifestyle, it does more than give your brand association with health and fitness. It also helps to disprove the age-old stereotype that people who consume cannabis are lazy, which helps to change the perception of cannabis, and will lead to further legalization. Below I’ve collected five cannabis brands sponsoring athletes that aren’t in any particular order. Each one is a company I feel is supporting athletes and assisting in the overall positive cultural shift of cannabis. Support the movement by following the companies and the athletes!

Flav

Flav has its own Flav Athlete Team known for an impressive roster of sponsored athletes. Their “all-natural purified cannabinoids infused with unique terpene blends create their extensive line of vape products. From their flower, edibles and tinctures, to topicals and vape products, they aim to produce the highest quality consumer goods on the market”. They were also involved in the very first High Rollers BJJ Tournament, which is Cannabis-Infused Jiu Jitsu.

As one of Colorado’s original infused products manufacturers, Wana has developed an amazing line-up of artisan, made from scratch edibles, concentrates, and medicinal products including the state’s most popular sour gummies.
