TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - June 12, 2014) - Green and Hill Industries (
Fusion's Chief Cannabis Correspondent, Ryan Nerz, traveled to Toronto to capture the remarkable story of Ross Rebagliati, the first-ever gold medalist snowboarder in the Olympics, before nearly losing his medal -- and his career -- to a positive test for marijuana.
Rebagliati finally regained his gold medal, but the negative association with weed plagued his life and career for 15 years. Rebagliati explains that the test was actually a false positive, and gives a surprising answer to whether or not weed is a performance enhancing drug. The next 30-minute episode of the show, "The Cannabusiness Report" focuses on Weed & Sports, and this segment will also be rebroadcast as a part of the show.
