Breaking Barriers: Chelsea Kossower, Puffco, and the Culture Shift Between Cannabis and Jiu Jitsu

What this episode covers

In this episode of Chokeholds & Chill, Jenn and Mal sit down with Chelsea Kossawa of Puffco for an honest, thoughtful conversation about ending the stigma between cannabis and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Chelsea shares the story behind a major 2025 milestone—Puffco becoming an official sponsor of UFC BJJ—and what it took to get there, why the moment mattered, and how education, responsibility, and clean consumption played a role in opening that door within combat sports. We talk about Chelsea’s personal journey on the mats, earning her purple belt, and the internal battle between chasing promotions versus simply enjoying training and growth. Chelsea also opens up about how Puffco has shaped her life, career, and approach to wellness, and how cannabis—when used intentionally—can coexist with discipline, performance, and professionalism. This episode is about progress, perspective, and pushing culture forward—on and off the mats.
