Ross Rebagliati Biography

Ross Rebagliati is one of the most popular and richest Snowboarder who was born on July 14, 1971 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Ross Rebagliati, born July 14, 1971, is a Canadian professional snowboarder and Olympic Gold Medal winner. He also founded Legacy Brands, a CBD consumables business, and Ross’ Gold (a medical cannabis merchandiser company).

Rebagliati declared that he would be seeking the federal Liberal Party nomination in the Okanagan–Coquihalla riding in British Columbia on October 23, 2009. Political observers at the time suggested that Rebagliati would face a difficult challenge as the seat was currently held by Stockwell Day, Minister of International Trade. He eventually gave up as his business ventures brought Whistler back to him.

In January 2013, Rebagliati and his business partner, Patrick Smyth, launched Ross’ Gold, a medical marijuana business. Ross’ Gold’s primary focus remains on establishing a brand in Canada and gaining a foothold in the industry under the federal government’s new regulations. Under the new Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, cannabis would be treated as any other narcotic used for medical purposes, enabling patients to acquire products as needed based on a health-care practitioner’s prescription.

During the Canadian Federal election of 2015, he commented that he looked forward to the new Liberal government fulfilling its promise to legalize marijuana in Canada. He told the CBC, “I mean, to think I can be involved in helping people and sharing the knowledge that I have and a lot of people have about cannabis to the mainstream public. I think it’s my responsibility.”

Ross has been a cultural icon in the cannabis world ever since and is a vocal advocate for medical marijuana. Rebagliati is involved in multimillion-dollar residential and real estate development projects across British Columbia. Rebagliati was featured in Sports Illustrated’s July 14, 2008 issue, where he recounted his life after his Olympic victory.

Rebagliati was a Vancouver native. He became a pro snowboarder in 1991 and was the first to win the Olympic gold medal in Men’s Snowboarding at 1998 Winter Olympics. Following a blood test, it was discovered that he had Tetrahydrocannabinol in his circulation system. He was immediately disqualified. Rebagliati received the medal back after the decision was overturned. He was a global icon the next day when he appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The World Anti-Doping Agency has now designated THC as a banned substance. WADA changed its rules regarding cannabis in 2013, raising the threshold to pass a positive test from just 15 nanograms per liter to 150 ng/ml. Rebagliati, who recorded a level at 17.8ng/ml in 1998 at Nagano Games claimed that the test was caused by second-hand smoking, which he still maintains. WADA spokesperson Ben Nichols stated that the increase in the threshold was intended to catch only those who have smoked during a competition. It is not prohibited from competing in the sport.

According to the Washington Post, there is widespread agreement that marijuana can put users in a relaxed and positive frame of mind (although some can experience feelings of anxiety and paranoia), and for that reason, it can be considered a performance-enhancing drug, providing an athlete serenity and confidence he or she might not otherwise have had. According to a British Journal of Sports Medicine article, THC, the main psychoactive component in marijuana, can cause a “sense of heaviness, marked relaxation and extreme fatigue of the limbs”. This could be due to the fact that the product is often smoked.

Since announcing the launch of Ross’ Gold medical marijuana, Rebagliati has been featured in numerous publications including USA Today, the Huffington Post, the CBC with Jian Ghomeshi, The Toronto Sun, and the cover of High Times in October 2013.
