WWE: 10 Wrestlers Who Like To Get High

1. Rob Van Dam

rob_van_dam2You guessed it, or at least you should have. The undisputed number one, when it comes to getting high, has to be Rob Van Dam. It's always nice to save the best (and probably the least depressing) for last. We could talk all day about how much good ol' RVD loves pot, but it might be better to discuss why. He has been an open supporter of the legalization movement for some time, and cites the plants medicinal qualities as a main reason for that support. When questioned by newsday.com about the WWE's policy on marijuana, he lamented that it may be having an adverse affect on some of the choices that the talent make: "marijuana is definitely different than if you test positive for anything else on their list. But still it has a very hefty fine with it. And it's, unfortunately, turning the boys away from marijuana and turning them away from any pain relievers, and saying, 'Alcohol is OK.' It's just like the SuperBowl will tell you €“ 'Drink, drink, drink.'" This is a legitimate concern, given the amount of problems many wrestlers have had with alcohol abuse and pill popping. The former ECW favourite has battled such problems in the past, and is vocal about his relief that those days are behind him. He does not have any plans to stop using marijuana though, and actually campaigns for it's use among athletes. When it comes to wrestling and getting high, Van Dam seems to have it down to a science.
