Being famous doesn’t mean you are immune to anxiety or to the aches and pains of exercise, age and illness. In fact, celebrities tend to work hard to stay in shape, spend hours on the red carpet in uncomfortable shoes and spend lots of time in stressful, high profile situations so they need lots of wellness aids. Many find the support they need in natural hemp and cannabis derived products such as CBD oil.
Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Ambrosio is a well known Brazilian supermodel and actress. She played Mark Walburg’s wife in the Daddy’s Home film franchise and walked the runway a remarkable 17 times as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. In fact, Victoria’s Secret was so pleased with her that they made her the first spokeswoman for their Pink line when they launched it. It is no secret that the lifestyle of a working actress and model takes a toll on the body and requires you to be in peak physical condition at all times. To help her reduce anxiety and get a full eight hours of sleep before a big job she relies on CBD oil. She says it has the added benefit of helping her aching muscles while she is using it as a sleep aid and it enhances her overall sense of well being. She often sings the praises of CBD oil to the press and is considered one of the most famous celebrity users in the world.
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston is a serious actress and an outspoken advocate for charities such as St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. But she has had one of her biggest impacts as a trendsetter. She is known for influencing a generation of haircuts and fashion choices but she has also had an impact on the health and wellness industry. She promotes mindfulness and me time as part of a daily routine that includes cardio, yoga and meditation. Recently she has also spoken up on the benefits of restoring the body with infrared saunas and healthy foods. But despite her healthy lifestyle and incredibly ageless good looks, she still suffers from occasional pain, stress and anxiety. For those conditions she turns to CBD oil. She notes that CBD has all of the benefits of marijuana without getting high and it works remarkably well. We won’t be surprised if she starts a CBD oil trend among her followers when she makes glowing comments like that!
Melissa Ethridge
Melissa Ethridge is a singer, songwriter, Emmy winner, LGBTQ activist and cancer survivor. Medical marijuana played a vital role in her cancer recovery and this experience lead her on a crusade to help other patients get access to it during cancer treatments. Over time she started growing her own cannabis at Etheridge Farms in California and using her advocacy skills to promote legalization in all fifty states. Until that happens she plans to get more THC free CBD products out into the mass market since it is sellable is every state and contains many healthful benefits. She is quick to point out that cabinnoids were on pharmacy shelves until they were outlawed 70 years ago and replaced by chemical drugs. She intends to grow medical marijuana and promote the medicinal value of CBD until it is mainstream practice again.
Michael J. Fox
Michael J. Fox is famous for movies like Back to the Future and television shows like Spin City. But his most important work has been bringing awareness and research funding to Parkinson Disease foundations. He was diagnosed with the disease at the young age of 29 and quickly discovered that medical marijuana (currently legal in only 33 states) and CBD oil was the most effective treatment for the disease available. Since then the Michael J. Fox Foundation has actively promoted several bills in the US House and Senate designed to tear down research barriers, increase funding and promote legal scientific investigation on the medical uses of cannabinoids and CBD. He is a strong advocate for CBD and living proof that it works very well on Parkinson’s Disease.
Morgan Freeman
Morgan Freeman, at age 80, is America’s favorite narrator and an award winning actor as well as a vocal advocate for plant based medicine. After surviving a car accident in 2008 that required the jaws of life to remove him from the vehicle and numerous surgeries on his arm and hand, he was left in chronic pain from the nerve damage. Nerve pain is notoriously hard to treat and doesn’t usually respond well to medications. Freeman has been very outspoken about the relief that cabinniods has given him when nothing else has worked.
Whoopi Goldburg
Whoopi Goldburg may be a comedian, an actress and a talk show host but she is also a woman. Years ago she realized that smoking marijuana was very beneficial for relieving the pain of menstrual cramps. However, it is hard to work, parent and do all of the things women must do in a week if you are high. So she decided to delve into the medical marijuana business and make pain relieving products for women containing the medicinal properties of cabinnoids that would not get women high. She reached out to edible maker Maya Elizabeth to help her and Whoopi&Maya was born. They make chocolate, bath salts and tinctures to get women through tough menstrual cycles. Currently their products are only available in California and Colorado because of federal legal restrictions on interstate commerce in products containing CBD or THC. But women everywhere are hoping that will change when the federal laws catch up with medicinal marijuana laws in each state since products like this are here to stay!
Dakota Johnson
Dakota Johnson is no stranger to a jet set lifestyle. As the daughter of A listers Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson she has been on the move her entire life. Now that she is a star in her own right after the unbelievable success of her films such as 50 Shades of Gray she’s on the move even more. She has been very vocal about her need to sleep on planes and how severely sleep deprivation effects her. To relax and get some shut eye on planes she turns to sublingual CBD oil. It has no known side effects, doesn’t get you high and therefore lead to a hangover and it is highly effective. Because CBD works on the endocannabinoid system of the body that helps you maintain a sense of balance and stability, otherwise known as homeostasis, it has a calming and anti anxiety effect which naturally promotes sleep. Reachers believe there are other reasons CBD can cure insomnia bet the clinical trials are incomplete at this time. For now, we just have to take Dakota’s word for how well it works to put you to sleep on a plane!
Amy Schumer
Amy Schumer isn’t just one of the funniest actresses in America, she is also an outspoken advocate for causes she believes in. She has often been very vocal about her desire to have women accept their bodies and not strive for the perfection they see in ads. Some body issues are not just cosmetic, however, and Amy experienced this first hand last spring while pregnant with her first child Gene. She suffered from extreme and debilitating nausea known as hyperemesis gravidarum. Rather than end up in the hospital from dehydration, she used broad spectrum CBD edibles to quell her nausea and stay hydrated. She sang the praises of CBD manufacturer The Lord Jones on Twitter to spread awareness to other moms. All of their products are derived from hemp and therefore THC free, making them safer for mom and baby.
Bussy Phillips
Bussy Phillips lives up to her name. She is busy! When her flight was delayed earlier this year she added an image of herself eating a CBD candy from celebrity favorite The Lord Jones in the airport to calm her nerves. She has been very candid about her anxiety, racing thoughts and panic attacks on Instagram (where she has over a million followers) and in interviews. She has been equally vocal about how THC and CBD gummies have been an effective way of treating these issues for her. She has also been vocal about using topical CBD formulas to get red carpet ready. She uses CBD enhanced beauty products and a special cream that makes posing the night away in high heels bearable. She is considered one of the most realistic and approachable celebrities on Instagram. Her honesty about experiencing mental health issues and sore feet just adds to this likability. As an “influencer”, her use of natural CBD products may lead other people who suffer from mental health challenges to give it a try!

She will always be remembered for her cheer, body positivity and willingness to share her struggles by her fans around the world.

She offered up advice on anything she could to make the process easier for other patients going through similar treatments. This included shaving her head, wearing great clothes in the hospital and taking CBD oil for the side effects of treatment. She may be gone but the online influence she left behind will last forever.
Frances McDormand
Frances McDormand has never shied away from cannabis on screen or in real life. In fact, after playing a “pothead” in a movie she appeared on the cover of High Times magazine smoking marijuana. Now that options beyond just smoking marijuana are more readily available she has become an outspoken fan of CBD products. CBD gives you the wellness benefits without the high and Frances is a fan!
Ghostface Killah
Ghostface Killah, rapper, entrepreneur and member of the Wu-Tang Clan, has come out with his own version of cannabis derived vape oil. Joining the ranks of celebrities such as Willy Nelson and Snoop Dog in the THC market, he is producing “Wu Goo” hash oil for vaping in conjunction with vape pen makers Dr. Zodiak’s Dynamite Stix. . In both an infomercial and a music video he makes the claim that it will reduce anxiety and make you feel better overall but he does not shy away from the THC content and readily admits it will also make you high as well. However, he points out that it is a modern way to get high, no rolling a joint required and so discreet that you can take a hit in front of your mom and she won’t even notice. There is no scientific evidence to back up his claim that Wu Goo will cure cancer but the THC content might very well help many cancer patients quell nausea and increase their appetite during treatment.
Lawrence Taylor
Lawrence Taylor knows pain. As a former NFL linebacker and New York Giants Hall of Fame recipient, his body took a beating for a living. Chronic pain inspired him to experiment with CBD solutions and he found them to be highly effective. This lead him to launch “LT Master Pain” Premium Line of CBD oils. The line consists of several products meant to assist athletes and other customers with pain relief, neurological support and reduce tension and anxiety. Lawrence, like many NFL players suffers from debilitating headaches thought to be a symptom of CTE, a neurological condition brought on by concussive brain injuries. Preliminary testing indicates that CBD is an effective treatment for this condition through long term research needs to be done. For now, CBD makes players feel better and Lawrence is willing to put his name on his own brand to prove it.
Leighton Meester
Leighton Meester has long been an advocate for self-care. She has spoken publicly about her need for decompressing thanks to the demands of Hollywood. She drinks tea, diffuses essential oils, takes baths and swears she can’t live without her foam roller for relaxing tight muscles. She has also spoken about the therapeutic use of THC free, hemp derived CBD oil in topical applications. She uses it to relax her tight muscles, especially in her shoulders and hands. As it becomes more and more mainstream and widely available, more and more people are likely to do the same. Since CBD is legal in all fifty states as long as it is THC free, everyone can follow her example and rub some CBD on their tense muscles and let the natural compound work out the knots.
Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore is known as America’s sweetheart for always playing such a good girl in movies and on TV. She is also known for her wholesome good looks and amazing vocal talents. So it made quite a splash recently when she spoke up for her love of CBD topical cream to get her through a long night on the red carpet. Like many celebrities she is partial to The Lord Jones stiletto creme on her feet. She is not shy about recommending it to others either. Hopefully the company has noticed the free publicity and has reached out to her and said thanks.
Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson knows first hand that boxing for a living can have lasting effects on the brain. Many soldiers, NFL players, boxers and other athletes suffer from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) brought on by concussions and other brain injuries. There is currently no treatment for CTE and the behavioral changes, physical disabilities and memory loss associated with it. However, according to a medical journal published in 2018 titled “Cannabis Therapeutics and the Future of Neurology” cannabis has been hound to repair the “neuronal demise” associated with a traumatic brain injury. Because of evidence like this, Tyson has sunk his fortune into a cannabis farm known as The Ranch and is using the farm to fuel research in CTE and its side effects. Many medical practitioners associated with The Ranch hope that the healing properties in CBD and THC can help the brain heal itself and if not, at least mitigate the resulting side effects of CTE such as anger, insomnia, tinnitus and depression. Hopefully the financial success of Tyson’s burgeoning cannabis empire in the commercial market will effectively accelerate the medical research and create effect treatments for CTE sufferers sooner rather than later!
Montel Williams
Montel Williams knows first hand how effective medical marijuana and CBD supplements can be. When he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1999 he felt like his feet were on fire due to the neuropathic pain associated with his MS. Traditional pain management techniques failed and he reluctantly turned to medical marijuana for relief. The results were immediate and effective pain management and a vast reduction in his symptoms. This experience lead him to start the company Lenitiv with partners Melanie McLaughlin and David Racz to help bring highly regulated CBD and THC to the medical market. He is very involved with the business unlike many celebrity cannabis providers and he’s an outspoken advocate of the effectiveness of cannabinoids on a variety of medical conditions. He offers himself up as living proof since medical marijuana literally gave him his normal life back.
Oliver Stone
Oliver Stone is best known for directing award winning movies such as Platoon and Born on the 4th of July and many others. His ability to portray the life of a soldier in such searingly realistic ways comes from his own traumatic experiences as a soldier in Vietnam. He returned to America unable to integrate into society and suffering from severe post traumatic stress disorder. He found relief for his PTSD and social issues in marijuana. Since has been an outspoken advocate for its use in trauma induced psychological disorders and for returning vets. In fact, he has been working to legalize it around the country for decades. Marijuana is now legal for medical patients in 33 of the 50 states so progress is being made!
Olivia Newton-John
Olivia Newton-John has had a successful career as an actress, singer and activist. Unfortunately, she has also been fighting breast cancer for decades. First diagnosed in 1992 she underwent treatment and was inspired to open the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Australia. In 2013 she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and learned that it had spread around her body. This time it was in her bones and extraordinarily painful. This lead her to use morphine and other addictive drugs that were not always effective. To wean off of the narcotic drugs and to control her pain and nausea she turned to medical marijuana and CBD oil. It has worked so well for her that her husband is now growing marijuana for her in a greenhouse at home! She is not alone in using it to treat illness, medicinal marijuana has been used around the world for at least 3,000 years and many researchers are working on finding safe and effective ways to manufacture it into drugs with targeted uses in labs around the world. In the meantime, Olivia is advocating for all patients by being an out spoken living example.
Olivia Wilde
Olivia Wilde grew up on TV. Now at 35, she is a parent, an actor and a director and she knows what is important to her. She wants to look good and feel good using natural products not made in a lab. CBD oil plays a big part in this plan. She uses it on her face to look her best, on her feet to walk in heels for hours and she uses it orally to relieve the aches and pains of long days on set or on a stage. She has been quoted saying that your spending habits are similar to your voting habits. You put your money (like your vote) in the place that reflects your values. For her, she only buys pure products with naturally sourced ingredients like CBD!
Sarah Paulson
Sarah Paulson is a true A list celebrity. She has won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe award for her acting. In 2017, Time magazine declared her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
