WWE Hall of Famer, Hulk Hogan, spoke to Forbes ober about an interesting topic: His use of CBD. Hogan partnered with Carma HoldCo and revealed the reasons why he did it. Throughout his career, Hogan faced many injuries and had many surgeries.
The pain was sometimes great. "Basically the last 10 years, I’ve had about 28 surgeries. Between the pain, the inflammation and the doctors always giving me the pain pills after the surgeries, I was miserable. I started winding down, and I got to the point where the only thing I was taking were two Tylenols in the morning, and then two Tylenols in the afternoon with a cup of coffee to kick them in.
But even that was too much for me. They affect me differently than most people."- he said.
Hulk Hogan: I just didn't want to be foggy
Hogan wanted to be the old man. He had a lot of trouble concentrating, he just wasn't the same person after all the pills and everything.
Hulk realized that he had to make changes in his life. "So I had the chance, I met with Mike [Tyson] and Ric Flair, and had the honor of meeting Chad and his whole team, and it just made more sense. The CBD wellness direction, sleep and energy and vitamins and everything that's involved.
It was more of just a natural way for me to back out and get healthy and become myself again, because I'm not Hulk Hogan 24 hours a day. When I'm home. I'm Terry Bollea, and I'm with my friends and my family, and I just didn't want to be foggy.
I wanted to be clearheaded. And with all the prescription pills and stuff like that, that were being thrown at me after all the surgeries, it just didn't work for me. Hogan is the man with the biggest career in WWE and we hope that his choices will be the best for him.
