Ric Flair, the wrestling icon known for his vibrant persona and catchphrase “Wooooo,” is set to make another appearance at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference.

Last year, Flair shared his journey in the cannabis industry, mainly focusing on his transition to embracing cannabis, notably edibles, as a large part of his recovery from past addictions.

From Wrestling Ring to Cannabis

The launch of Flair’s marijuana strain — the Ric Flair Drip — memorialized his venture into the cannabis market. This indica hybrid is recognized for its potent effects, aimed at reducing stress, anxiety and pain, making it a favorite among seasoned cannabis consumers. The strain’s unique flavor profile, combining sweet, fruity aromas with earthy undertones, mirrors Flair’s larger-than-life character outside the ring.

A Candid Discussion About Cannabis

During last year’s conference, Flair candidly discussed the transformative role cannabis played in his life. He highlighted the plant’s powerful impact on fostering deeper connections and enabling people to embrace life fully. His anecdotes added a human element to the discussion on cannabis legalization and its acceptance in sports and wider society.

Expanding The Drip Strain Reach

Ric Flair Drip, developed in collaboration with Tyson 2.0 and cannabis conglomerate Verano, has been making waves across Michigan and is poised for broader distribution. The strain’s high THC content and its resultant psychological effects highlighted Flair’s commitment to delivering a premium cannabis product.

What To Expect

As Flair prepares to address the audience at this year’s conference, attendees are eager to hear updates on his cannabis ventures and insights into the industry’s evolving landscape. His previous engagement at the conference left a lasting impression, blending entertainment with earnest discussions on the benefits and future of cannabis.
