This week, musician and longtime vegan Travis Barker—drummer of iconic band blink-182—announced the launch of Barker Wellness<\/a>, a cannabinoid (CBD)-infused, THC-free vegan and cruelty-free brand. The mission of the new brand is to provide vegan products for optimal physical and mental health. The line includes tinctures ($64 individual and $175 for a set) in three wellness-focused options: Maintenance which is infused with broad spectrum CBD and Cannabigerol (CBG), along with B12, Vitamin C, and hemp extract; Recovery which is infused with Cannabichromene (CBC), broad spectrum hemp extract, ashwagandha extract, and red reishi mushroom extract; and Sleep which features CBD, Cannabinol (CBN), melatonin, gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), and valerian root extract. The line also offers snap packets in Rise (a coffee-infused, wakefulness promotion formula) and Sleep (a calming sleep-promoting formula), along with a pain relief cream that features CBC, CBD, CBG, and moisturizing bisabolol and cucumber fruit extract. <\/p>\n “I started trying lots of different CBD products in my own daily routine and saw their benefits first hand. So I decided to create my own ideal formulas and share them with anyone looking to improve their general health,” Barker said. “While a lot of the traditional cannabinoid companies primarily use CBD, it was important that our formulas incorporated some of the lesser-known but highly powerful cannabinoids like CBG, CBN, and CBC. The full combination of these cannabinoids, herbs, and natural ingredients, makes these highly effective for targeting different needs.”<\/p>\n The line is now available through the Barker Wellness website<\/a> with plans to launch in retail stores soon.<\/p>\n In 2013, Barker partnered with celebrity chef Tal Ronnen to help him open Crossroads Kitchen, an upscale vegan eatery in Los Angeles which has counted a number of celebrity fans over the years, including Married … with Children<\/em> actress Christina Appelgate<\/a> who called it “the best vegan restaurant on the planet” in a 2019 The New York Times<\/em> interview. <\/p>\n Barker has also spoken out in defense of veganism throughout his career, including on a 2019 episode<\/a> of podcast “Joe Rogan Experience” hosted by Joe Rogan, a strong proponent of the meat-and-cheese-heavy keto diet. On the show, Barker—who was a vegetarian since age 13—explained that he transitioned to veganism shortly after surviving a catastrophic plane crash in 2009 to heal his mind and body.<\/p>\n \nBarker’s vegan ventures<\/h2>\n
