You may see them on your screens and hear them on the radio, but do you really know who your favourite celebrities are as people? Just like everyone else, stars look for ways to improve their lives and overall health. While you may think they buy the most expensive miracle products or get plastic surgery on a whim, you’ll be surprised how many prefer natural methods of improving themselves and their health by using products such as CBD.
Here are ten celebrities who take CBD oil and why you should do the same.
10 Celebrities Who Take CBD Oil
These celebrities have three things in common: they’re rich, famous, and love CBD.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Actress and founder of Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow, swears by CBD, calling it the “hero ingredient of the future” for health and wellness. She believes in it so much she invested in Cann, a cannabis-infused beverage company.
Paltrow is the latest actress to invest in the cannabis industry. She says she was attracted to Cann as she believes it is an excellent alternative to alcohol.
“There’s a whole sober-curious movement that’s going on and the cannabis-curious movement that’s going on, this is kind of at the intersection of those things in a way,” says Paltrow.
Paltrow believes that it’s just a question of time before the cannabis industry becomes mainstream. “We’re very clearly and definitively moving in the direction of cannabis being legalised, and I think it should be,” she says.
“I do think that there are amazing medicinal qualities to it, and it is really helpful for a lot of people.”
Jennifer Aniston
America’s sweetheart Jennifer Aniston is another fan of CBD oil. The former Friends actress says she uses CBD oil for stress, pain and anxiety as it has all the benefits of cannabis without the high. She must be doing something right; she has never looked better or healthier!
Emma Roberts
Another actress besotted with CBD oil is Emma Roberts. The American Horror Story star regularly posts stories to her Instagram of her favourite CBD products and uses the hashtag #notanad. You know they really like it if they don’t do it for money.
Roberts says her favourite CBD oil-infused products are bath bombs that she regularly uses to relax and unwind.
Morgan Freeman
The man who everyone would love to narrate their life, Morgan Freeman, is a fan of CBD oil. In 2012, the actor admitted to suffering nerve damage in his hand after a near-fatal car accident in 2008 and from Fibromyalgia, which is a chronic condition that causes pain throughout the body.
Freeman explains that he has been dealing with his chronic pain over the years by using CBD. He says CBD helps him live a normal, healthy life, and he won’t be giving it up anytime soon.
Kristen Bell
Kristen Bell is such a big fan of CBD that she launched her own CBD infused skincare line with Lord Jones called Happy Dance.
Bell first came into contact with CBD when her hairstylist used some CBD cream on her shoulders. The actress says she felt the benefits almost immediately and knew she needed to try it out for herself. “It’s hard to explain what it did to me,” Bell recalls.
“But I just felt this overall improvement, and at the end of a chaotic day, using any Lord Jones product made me feel like I was either turning down the volume on my children or turning the thermostat of my life to exactly the right temperature.”
CBD quickly become a big part of her life, but she felt that there was still something missing from the market. “I contacted Lord Jones and just asked them if we could create a product together that demystifies CBD, that doesn’t play into the stoner trope or feel too clinical, but that feels cheeky and a little more me, and at a price point that can be more accessible,” she says.
“I really wanted to allow people who had not used it before or who had not been exposed to it the accessibility, and in any of my entrepreneurial ventures, that’s always been the priority.”
The actress can’t stop herself from gushing about CBD. “It provides a calm sense of wellbeing, and it calms and soothes when you need it most. For me, after a long stressful day, there is nothing like taking a bath with our CBD bath bomb,” she adds.
Bella Thorne
Another actress who was inspired to start her own CBD brand is Bella Thorne. The former Disney star has admitted to having anxiety and depression when she was younger and revealed that she believes CBD oil was the only thing that helped her.
Thorne launched Forbidden Flowers, a cannabis brand she developed and uses herself. She personally tests every new product before selling it and is a huge advocate for cannabis.
Michael J. Fox
At the tender age of twenty-nine, Back to the Future star, Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. In the year 2000, the actor founded the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. This foundation has intensely studied the use of CBD, cannabis and marijuana to discover whether it can help Parkinson’s Disease.
The MJFF funds various CBD-related studies that can show how cannabinoids could potentially protect brain cells. So far, the foundation has found preliminary evidence that shows cannabinoids from CBD could protect people’s brain cells thanks to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, research is ongoing, and no definitive claims can be made without much more research.
Olivia Wilde
House star Olivia Wilde says she uses CBD to relax. The actress explains that she started using a body lotion infused with CBD after hurting her body during a play on Broadway. She says the CBD lotion helped with the pain and had relaxing benefits, which meant she could skip painkillers. She also uses CBD oils for the pain she has in her feet after wearing high heels.
John Legend
Yet another celebrity who has jumped on the CBD bandwagon is Grammy award-winning singer John Legend. The crooner has partnered with PLUS Products to introduce a line of CBD oil and edibles.
Legend is a long-time believer in the benefits of CBD, and investing in the market was the next logical step.
Whoopi Goldberg
Avid CBD advocate, Whoopi Goldberg, is extremely passionate about CBD and its potential benefits, especially the benefits it has for women. So much so that she founded her own CBD company called Whoopi & Maya medical cannabis in 2018.
She wants there to be CBD products that help women specifically, as she feels there are not enough of these products for women, so she decided to create CBD products targeting them.
Goldberg concentrates on helping women dealing with cramps, period pain, nerve pain and menopause. The actress herself uses CBD oil for her Glaucoma and to relieve pain and stress.
Why Should You Use CBD Oil?
As can be seen above, many celebrities hail CBD as their go-to product. If people with all the money in the world are relying on something as natural and affordable as CBD oil, don’t you think you should give it a try to see what all the fuss is about?
While research is ongoing, findings show that CBD oil could hold many benefits, from relieving pain to helping skin condition and more. Not to mention its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Besides, what’s good enough for Jennifer Aniston is good enough for us!
