Very pure intentions…

Travis Barker has definitely had a stacked year to say the least. From coming off his tour with Blink-182 and Lil Wayne to collaborating with Rick Ross and Trippie Redd, it’s safe to say Barker is working his absolute ass off in 2021. Now, his latest business venture sees him journey away from music in an attempt to fight Insomnia.

Titled Barker Wellness, the legendary drummer is launching his own line of CBD products to combat insomnia. I know you’re probably thinking “Surely the products are just for getting super stoned as well,” but honestly, Barker seems properly committed to purely treating the sleep condition with the products, focusing on lesser-known cannabinoids like CBG, CBN, and CBC. They don’t specifically get you high as fuck or baked, but are more geared toward fighting insomnia, aiding recovery, and general “maintenance”.

Speaking on the new business venture with Rolling Stone, Barker recounted why he started using CBD products, the drummer saying “As a symptom of being in the music space and just touring, I would always do a CBD bath or an epsom salt bath or take a ton of CBD after shows and I started to notice that recovery was an issue, especially touring for months [and] doing five to six shows a week.

“And the process became like, ‘How do I feel with recovery?’ I tried everything from cryotherapy to massage therapy, but CBD was like the best kind of result that I got… I used to have trouble with sleep and I would take a ton of melatonin, valerian tea, Tylenol PM, or Nyquil. And before that it was actually Ambien. I was addicted to that at one point.”

“In a perfect world for me, I want the product to be everywhere, from places like Erewhon to Sephora to CVS. This isn’t a Band-Aid, one-time project,” he added. “I really want this to help people.”

Pretty sick. You can check out the new products here as well as suss out a clip of him talking about his CBD use to treat his insomnia and other health conditions below.
