Ric Flair, one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time, will be in Motown next week, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. Instead of green beer, Flair is bringing his very own Ric Flair Drip cannabis products.
Who’s Hosting? On March 16 and 17, Flair will visit Detroit's Cloud Cannabis, JARS, House of Dank and other dispensaries.
Ric Flair And Cannabis: A Match That Saved His Life
Flair teamed up in 2021 with Mike Tyson's weed company Tyson 2.0, which purchased "Ric Flair Drip" and the two have been working and playing together ever since. They’ve expanded to over two dozen states and Canada in the past year thanks in part to the company's co-founder and president Chad Bronstein.
The Time They Smoked Weed In Chicago's Iconic Palmer House Hotel
Flair and Tyson attended the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Chicago last September where they famously lit up a joint and smoked it on stage while discussing the benefits of cannabis over drugs like Xanax and other addictive painkillers.
Flair told the packed conference room at the Palmer House Hotel that marijuana replaced Xanax for him as a remedy for pain. During his career, Flair used to have to wrestle up to 454 times per year.
“When this came along," Flair said as he held up a joint in his hand, "it completely erased my previous addiction.”
This is one of the many events and incidents, planned or spontaneous, that invariably occur at Benzinga's Cannabis Capital Conferences, which are always fun, informative and important for anyone involved or wanting to be involved in the burgeoning industry.
