Ross Rebagliati is a Canadian professional snowboarder, Olympic Gold Medal Winner and founder of Legacy Brands. He was the first ever to win an Olympic gold medal for Men’s Snowboarding at the 1998 Winter Olympics. After winning the gold, he was found to have Tetrahydrocannabinol in his circulatory system following a blood test and he was automatically disqualified. This decision was eventually overturned, largely on the basis that marijuana was not on the list of banned substances. THC has since been listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency as a banned substance. In 2013 however, WADA amended its rules on cannabis, raising the threshold for a positive test from 15 nanograms per milliliter to 150 ngml.
About Ross Rebagliati in brief
Ross Rebagliati is a Canadian professional snowboarder, Olympic Gold Medal Winner and founder of Legacy Brands, a CBD consumables company and Ross’ Gold, a medical cannabis merchandise company. He was the first ever to win an Olympic gold medal for Men’s Snowboarding at the 1998 Winter Olympics.

This decision was eventually overturned, largely on the basis that marijuana was not on the list of banned substances. THC has since been listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency as a banned substance. In 2013 however, WADA amended its rules on cannabis, raising the threshold for a positive test from 15 nanograms per milliliter to 150 ngml.
Since that day, Ross has become a cultural phenomenon in the marijuana world and is an outspoken advocate of medical cannabis. He believes that cannabis is a performance enhancer, and that usage can be helpful for some activities such as extreme sports, as it improves muscle relaxation, reduces anxiety, and extincts fear memories leading to enhanced performance. Ross has been able to take his love of the great sport to reach out to the youth in the community. As a member of the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Ross helped grant wishes of children as far away as Florida.
