Hulk Hogan set to destigmatize the use of cannabis with new venture
In an iconic career, the WWE legend has suffered many falls and taken many hits. This led to several surgeries later. According to Hogan, he has been under the knife 28 times in a span of 10 years. This led to doctors prescribing him with painkillers. While it subsided the pain, it also had an adverse effect on the 69-year-old.
But a meeting with 16-time world champion Ric Flair and former boxing world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson helped him get a new form of treatment. It involved the use of cannabis. The two are advocates of the product and having reaped the benefits, Hogan now has commercial plans.
