Key Moments

Rapper, B-Real, RVD, & Katie Forbes Smoke a Joint & Talk CBD

In an epic episode of B-RealTV the original stoners, Dr. Green Thumb (aka. the rapper, B-Real) and Mr 420 himself (Rob Van Dam) light a joint with Katie Forbes as they talk the ins and outs of marijuana, wrestling, pain, CBD, & THC. RVD has been an 30-year advocate for how CBD reduces pain and stress, and Marijuana protects your brain. He uses it for better health, it saved his life, and he wants the same for you!

RVD Knows CBD Helps With Pain & Stress

It’s common knowledge that CBD products relieve stress and aches and pains. The web is literally packed with testimonials, and thousands of articles relating to “CBD for Pain.” But how do you know which one to choose? How can you be sure these people aren’t blowin’ smoke just to grab a few sales? Where’s the credibility? RVD is living proof.

Look no further. Credibility is right here. Even though some people think wrestling is fake, there’s no doubt about it. Even B-Real said to RVD in the Smokebox, “Cannabis preserved you, man.” Rob Van Dam, the man who made wrestling the extreme sport it is today, from his highflying acrobats, extreme hits, and crowd-busting body slams, has had his share of pain, not to mention concussions. “You know,” RVD said, “I have had 100’s of concussions and until one particular one, I never had any lasting symptoms and I thought it was maybe because I had smoked marijuana. And that was before they [, the doctors,] were talking about marijuana helping with Alzheimer.”

“When people ask me, ‘Is wrestling real?’ I always reply, ‘Dude just let me body slam you one time, and you tell me.'”

Does CBD Really Work?

According to PPM (Practical Pain Management), “Research shows that of the 62% of people who use CBD for a medical condition, the majority are treating chronic pain, arthritis, and joint pain, as well as anxiety.” How? It all boils down to our bodies natural Endocannabinoid System. In fact, PPD explains, “CBD… works in conjunction with our endocannabinoid system to function in an antioxidant capacity, to decrease inflammation, and to act as …[a] pain reliever. CBD may even slow the progression of osteoarthritis and prevent nerve damage, according to early model studies.”

CBD Doesn’t Work For Me

If you’ve heard the hype and tried CBD once of twice, of course it didn’t work. CBD like most anxiety and depression meds have to build up I your system. “For CBD to actually work in your body, you have to take it over the course of time….It’s got to become part of your daily regimen like you take vitamins….Just keep taking it you for it to get in your bloodstream and start…having an effect…. Realistically, it takes some time for the CBD to actually physically take effect. You have to take it at least 30 days,” B-Real, aka. Dr. Greenthumb.

Advice for 1st Time CBD Smoker’s

If you’re ready to take it to the next level and try the fastest bioavailability form of full-spectrum CBD—PAUSE! “If you’re a first-time smoker, you might want to start with a sativa [flower]; you need something chill,” B-Real. What’s Sativa? Full-spectrum organic CBD flowers fall between one of three strains or chemovars (chemical varieties): Sativa, Hybrid, & Indica. If you’re not sure what to try, click here.

“The main enemy to health is stress…and it comes in all different…forms, but marijuana helps so much to not feel [that]stress,”

~ Rob Van Dam (RVD)

Medical Marijuana is a Game Changer

FACT: CBD comes from both Marijuana and Hemp plants. “Once Hemp CBD is extracted, it has lower THC levels than Marijuana CBD. [BUT] it doesn’t matter what the source of the extracted CBD is because it remains identical on a molecular level. Now that CBD is legal, and research on the miracle plant is expanding, people on the opposing side or switching teams. Why? Simply because misinformation and biases kept marijuana and hemp locked up as a “Schedule I substance with high potential for abuse and no accepted medical value.” Just like people who used to think the world is flat, science is proving otherwise.

Why Choose RVD’s BRAND

If you know RVD, then you know why he created his brand. Mr. 420, is tired of losing his friends. It’s no coincidence RVD is still healthy, strong and alive. That’s right alive. Most professional wrestlers die early due to opioids, the prescribed plan for managing pain. Also wrestlers fall to depression caused by multiple concussions that are prevalent in extreme sports like wrestling, boxing, and football. According to liveabout.com, “Many wrestlers die long before they reach age 65, and more than a few never reach age 40 or 30.”  

“[With Marijuana] I protected my brain, and that’s the message that…I want everyone to know.” 

~ Rob Van Dam (RVD)

In the Smokehouse discussion, B-Real agreed with RVD. “I don’t think fans realize, the after-effects of taking those … pharmaceuticals to you know take away some of the pain. Because it’s never the cure, it’s to take the f-ing pain, and then it leads to addiction.” Another problem out there RVD wanted to tackle with his own brand is the unclear array of dosing. Obviously, it’s still trial and error for what works for each individual, but RVD made it simple. With three strengths: Regular Strength-750mg, Extra Strength-1500mg, & Maximum Strength-3000mg, RVD narrowed down the overwhelming expanse.
