Are you curious to know what Celebrities use and advocate CBD products? Well, join us as we take a look at some big names with interesting stories about why they use and support Cannabidiol for better health and welfare...

Michael J. Fox

The famous 80's and 90's actor was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease at the age of 29 and set up The Michael J. Fox Foundation, a charity dedicated to finding a cure. The largest non-profit foundation researching Parkinson's has included some small studies into the use of CBD treatment of Parkinson's symptoms. Michael uses CBD oil and related products to manage the side effects of the disease and has said; "‘If there is anything working with CBD Oil has shown me, it’s that there is always hope. Even for the hopeless."

CBD has been reported to help suffers from Parkinson's Disease by its ability to release more dopamine in the brain which aids greater mobility of movement, less involuntary shaking, muscle seizures and also pain reduction in joints. There have been a number of studies on Cannabidiol for Parkinson's Disease and we hope that Michael and his foundation can find a cure, with or without CBD.

Whoopi Goldberg

One of the world's most recognisable actresses, Whoopi has been an advocate for CBD for some time and even set up her own CBD product company in 2008. The award-winning actress uses CBD to aid stress and anxiety caused by a hectic lifestyle in showbiz and has also said she found respite from pain caused by Glaucoma and monthly menstruation aches, commonly using a CBD vape pen.

Morgan Freeman

The voice of reason and an incredible actor, Morgan Freeman has become an advocate for CBD due to personal use after a serious car accident in 2008.

Fibromyalgia is a common ailment that people are using CBD for and we will focus on this more in depth in a separate article very soon.

Seth Rogen

The actor and comedian may be commonly associated with 'pot-friendly' movies, but did you know he has become an advocate for CBD and lobbied for CBD laws to be relaxed? He was inspired after his mother-in-law was diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer's Disease. There have been over a dozen research papers published (like this one) on CBD treating Alzheimer's and Dementia with a potential to even reverse the disease. However, more multi-phase studies are required to support early research.
