Rob Van Dam On How Marijuana Has Helped Him With Performing, Smoking And Staying Active

- Rob Van Dam recently spoke with The Washington Post for an article that features athletes advocating for marijuana use as a workout tool in sports.

The former WWE Champion said he's been known to apply smoking marijuana to everything he does throughout the day. In regards to performing, he said marijuana has helped him in "thinking good thoughts, because ... in front of millions of people that paid to see you at your best, who expect you to be in action-figure shape and condition on that particular night for that moment, you've got to deliver."

RVD also pointed out how there are different strains of marijuana and some are better suited for high-energy activities while others are associated with more of a classic "stoner" behavior. He said, "If I want to relax and just chill out, consuming cannabis can help with that. If I want to be active, if I'm going to go work out or have a match, then it can help with that, too."
