For decades, Hulk Hogan‘s name has enabled him to venture into various business endeavors, ranging from acting to opening a restaurant. But his latest endeavor is sure to surprise people.
According to a TMZ Sports interview, Hogan is opening a cannabis brand with the company, Carma HoldCo, behind Mike Tyson’s “Tyson 2.0” and Ric Flair’s “Ric Flair Drip.” While there is no official launch date, Chad Bronstein, Carma HoldCo’s president, said the brand will include not only THC but CBD and “functional mushrooms.”
Hogan said he credits his THC and CBD use to feeling better than ever after numerous surgeries and decades of wrestling.
“I always joke about I didn’t get the memo that this stuff was ‘fake’ and after the 10 back surgery and two knees and two hips, it’s just a situation of you do get hurt out there all the time,” Hogan told Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show (airs weekdays on FS1).
Hogan also stated that the usage of THC and CBD allowed him to stop taking prescription drugs and helped him in his day-to-day life.
“It definitely helped me because as I said the slow walk back from the prescription drugs ended with me downing the Tylenol and the Advil and Aleve’s and finally even that wasn’t working for me,” Hogan said.
“As I moved away from that and got into the CBD world, it really changed the game from my sleep to the inflammation, the way my wrists and my joints hurt, across the board, it helped me with my health.”
The THC and CBD markets have seen a tremendous surge in popularity over the last few years, with more people than ever before turning to these natural compounds to help them manage a variety of health issues. It seems to have helped Hogan, so his business will look to aid others.
