WWE Superstar Sasha Banks has said that using CBD oil helped her quit drinking and fight depression in 2018.
In June, Banks promoted Kanndela, a new CBD oil launched by former WWE Superstar Kalisto and his wife Abagail.
Speaking to ‘Cannabis and Tech Today‘ Magazine with Kalisto, Banks highlighted the use of CBD oil.
“Being a professional wrestler, it’s so draining. It’s so, so hard. We’re never home. We’re always banged up and always hurt. And once I got introduced to CBD my life just fully, fully changed. I noticed that anxiety I would get, once I took CBD it all just dissipated.
“I started to feel like myself again. I started [working] with Manny [Kalisto] and Abby, and the more that we learned and grew, we just wanted to create our own project.”
Banks added that in addition to helping her anxiety, using CBD oil gave her the confidence to quit drinking heavily and taking painkillers in 2018.
Cannabidiol, often called CBD, is found in the cannabis plant species and is used as a pain relief for symptoms including chronic pain, depression, insomnia and anxiety.
Banks, a multiple-time WWE Women’s Champion, hasn’t been seen since on TV since walking out of the May 16, 2022 episode of RAW.
It is believed that she, as well as Naomi, will be back on WWE TV any week now.
