Dara Torres, a gold medalist who is currently 52-year-old, is Chief Lifestyle & Wellness Officer and investor in Canibrands, a company started by a consortium of cannabis insiders, and someone who is embracing the benefits of the plant.

Torres was having issues sleeping well, so she ran into her former strength and conditioning coach Andy O'Brien who recommended her the product Can-I-sleep from Canibrands.

In the beginning, she was concerned about THC and being high, but he clarified that there was no THC and CBD was no-psychoactive. The results were terrific, and a little bit by little, she began to incorporate different products into her daily wellness routine and ultimately got involved with Canibrands.
