WWE Hall of Famer and legendary commentator Jim Ross recently shared his views on cannabis and revealed his investment in his family’s cannabis business during an episode of his Grilling JR podcast. Ross, who is known for his deep understanding of the pro wrestling industry, also has interests outside of the squared circle, including his famous barbecue sauce and beef jerky brand, J.R.’s Family Bar-B-Q.
Ross discussed his family’s cannabis operation and their progress toward opening a dispensary, revealing that he has invested thousands of dollars in the venture. He expressed optimism about the process, despite the paperwork and legal requirements involved.
“I’ve invested thousands and thousands of dollars in my family’s cannabis operation, which I think our dispensary is going to be opening in a couple of months as things seem to be progressing. Boy, there’s a lot of paperwork and a lot of legal stuff to get involved in this thing. Thus far, I haven’t had any issues. I won’t have any issues. I have nothing to hide,” Ross said.
Ross also expressed his belief in the beneficial uses of cannabis products, particularly for sleep-related issues. He stated that there are much worse things that people can do with their lives than consuming cannabis, and he believes that the stigma around it is fading as more people become educated about its uses.
“There’s a lot worse things that we can do with our lives than smoking pot. I think it’s almost worn out. I think there’s so many people getting educated to it. Gummies for sleep and things of that nature. There’s a lot of good reasons to consume the product,” Ross said.
Ross’s candid comments about his investment in the cannabis industry and his support for the beneficial uses of cannabis products come at a time when attitudes and laws regarding cannabis are evolving in many parts of the world.
