Here’s Why Dakota Johnson Loves CBD

As CBD’s popularity continues to grow, it also draws attention from the medical community. It seems that nearly every month brings new scientific insights on how CBD and other cannabinoids can help us manage various health problems.

Along with this increased awareness, more and more people are sharing their personal experiences with CBD. And while CBD research is great – and necessary! – these stories about individuals’ successes with CBD are valuable as well, lending further support to the notion that CBD can improve well-being in a variety of ways.

Even celebrities are coming out in support of CBD. As recounted to Elle, actress Dakota Johnson recently admitted she’s a big fan of CBD.

From Stylecaster:

Trying to fall asleep on a plane is sometimes harder than the actual process of becoming a pilot. And as someone who travels a lot, Dakota Johnson knows this all too well. In a recent interview with Elle the “Fifty Shades of Grey” star revealed her secret to getting some shut-eye while traveling.

Instead of willing herself to sleep or praying to the gods, she relies on CBD oil while on-the- go. According to The Sleep Doctor, Michael Breus, CBD— the non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in marijuana and industrial hemp plants— “has the ability to reduce anxiety, which can be helpful in reducing sleep difficulties and improving sleep quality.”

CBD’s anxiety fighting properties are well-known, and Johnson has been candid in the past about her struggles with anxiety and panic attacks, so it’s no surprise that she loves CBD. And though she’s never specifically mentioned a fear of flying, she alluded to this issue, explaining, “I try to knock myself out on planes; otherwise my whole world falls apart.”

Whether she uses CBD to keep up a regular sleep routine or just to keep anxiety at bay, the actress has the right idea. By using CBD oil sublingually, she’s able to absorb it quickly and drift off to a relaxing sleep every time she travels.
