In a video published on Hashbar.TV in April, former ECW, TNA, and WWE Champion Rob Van Dam talks about smoking “Tangerine” buds and wax. Van Dam, who recently returned to the WWE at Sunday’s Money In The Bank Pay-Per-View, is an avid marijuana advocate and has been for years.
Throughout his career, Van Dam has often openly discussed his love for cannabis, even coining the phrase “4:20 means I just smoked your ass,” based off of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s infamous Austin 3:16 promo from WWE’s King of the Ring ’96 PPV. Van Dam was even stripped of the WWE Championship in 2006 after he was arrested for minor marijuana possession.
Van Dam is very vocal about his belief in the need to reform America’s cannabis laws. He has discussed marijuana reform in High Times magazine, at national NORML conferences, and even in debates on multiple major news outlets. “The Whole F’n Show” has been quoted as saying, “Our federal government prohibited this organic plant based on lies, continues to classify it among the most dangerous drugs to validate billions in funding pointless agendas, and denies it’s medical value, causing countless lives to suffer needlessly. How can anyone not care?”
