Former Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu launches CBD brand
Ex-Seahawk Lofa Tatupu has joined a growing list of athletes that have gotten involved in the cannabidiol (CBD) business.
The former Pro Bowl linebacker this week announced the launch of his new CBD startup, called "ZoneIn." The venture, backed by a team of professional athlete investors and partners, seeks to help adults strive for optimum health and wellness in their day-to-day lives.
“The brand, everything, it’s been a brain child of mine ever since the first time I took full-spectrum oil,” Tatupu told SeattlePI.
CBD, which is found in cannabis, has been identified to be therapeutic — helping a range of ailments including chronic pain and inflammation. But it’s not psychoactive and doesn’t produce the same “high” effect of THC, a related substance.
Use of marijuana and other cannabis-related products among professional athletes, especially NFL players, has been a hot topic in recent years. They've been kept on the league’s banned list, however, even as legalization efforts have been growing across the country.
