'It's worked for me. It's worked for a lot of players,' the two-time Denver Broncos Super Bowl champion says.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis on Wednesday told CNBC that he uses a hemp extract to cope with pain from his playing days and that the remedy could be used to help other athletes "feel normal again."that his body, like many others,' was beaten down after years in the NFL and that he turned to cannabidiol after no other treatment helped with joint and migraine pains.
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a non-intoxicating derivative of either the hemp or marijuana plant. Earlier this year, Davis launched a sports drink brand called Defy, the first CBD-infused performance drink in the U.S. He co-founded the company in 2017. The Defy sports drink, which includes 20 milligrams of CBD, comes in four flavors and sells for about $8 per bottle.Davis said he hopes the research will lead the league to allow the use of CBD by players, although he said many athletes had already been using the extract years prior to his learning of the substance.retired from the NFL
