STUART: GRONK IS IN THE ROOM
WITH US AND HE'S TEAMING UP WITH
ABACUS HEALTH ON CBD PRODUCTS.
WE ARE JOINED BY ABACUS CEO, WHO
IS SITTING ON MY LEFT-HAND SIDE
HERE.
HE'S NOT LEFT OF ME POLITICALLY.
CERTAINLY NOT.
NO, HE'S WITH ME RIGHT NOW.
PERRY, IS THERE ANY MEDICAL
STUDY, ANY SCIENTIFIC PROOF THAT
CBD WORKS AS A PAIN RELIEVER?
>> WELL, ABSOLUTELY.
FIRST OF ALL, CBD IS A
NEUROMODULATOR WHICH MEANS IT
HELPS CALM THE NERVES.
WE DON'T HAVE TO GO TOO FAR TO
LOOK AT A DRUG THAT WAS APPROVED
BY THE FDA FOR EPILEPTIC
SEIZURES.
THAT'S USED IN HIGH DOSES AND
DOES HELP WITH THE SEIZURES SO
CLEARLY, LOWER DOSES ALSO HAVE
BENEFICIAL EFFECTS.
THERE IS PLENTY OF STUDIES OUT
THERE THAT ARE SHOWING HOW IT
CAN BE BENEFICIAL FOR PAIN AS
WELL.
THERE ARE STUDIES OUT THERE
ALREADY FOR PAIN.
STUART: YOUR PRODUCTS ARE
TOPICAL, RIGHT?
YOU RUB THEM ON?
>> CORRECT.
STUART: YOU AREN'T INTO VAPING
CBD OR ANYTHING ELSE?
>> NOT AT ALL.
TO BE CLEAR, OUR PRODUCTS HAVE
NO MARIJUANA, NO THC.
THEY ARE TOPICAL, THEY DON'T GO
INTO THE BLOOD STREAM SO THEY
ARE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.
STUART: GOT THAT.
BACK TO GRONK.
YOU ARE FIT, HALE, HEARTY, OUT
OF THE NFL.
DID YOU USE THIS STUFF?
>> ACTUALLY, NO.
I DID NOT USE THIS WHILE I WAS
PLAYING.
I WISH I COULD HAVE.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE
DIFFERENCE MAKER THROUGHOUT THE
WEEK.
STUART: YOU WEREN'T ALLOWED TO?
>> NO.
WASN'T ALLOWED TO.
AND WAS NEVER INTRODUCED TO CBD
UNTIL THIS YEAR, TOO.
STUART: YOU USE IT.
>> YES, I USE IT.
STUART: TOPICAL OIL.
>> YES.
STUART: DOES IT RELIEVE YOUR
PAIN?
>> IT RELIEVES MY PAIN.
I'M STILL ACTIVE, I STILL PLAY
SPORTS ALL THE TIME, I LOVE
BASKETBALL, HOCKEY.
YOU NAME A SPORT, I'M STILL
PLAYING.
I'M STILL GOING TO GET THOSE
BRUISES AND ACHES AND YES, I PUT
THAT ON, IT GIVES ME THAT
RELIEF.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
IT'S AWESOME.
AND I LOVE IT.
STUART: CAN YOU CONVINCE THE NFL
TO ALLOW IT?
AT THE MOMENT, THEY -- I DON'T
KNOW WHAT THEY DO TO RELIEVE
PAIN AT HALFTIME.
THEY INJECT YOU WITH
PHARMACEUTICALS AND THAT KIND OF
THING?
>> YOU KNOW, THINGS ALONG THAT
LINE.
BUT I'M JUST ADVOCATING FOR A
SAFE ALTERNATIVE WAY TO PUSH OUT
THERE AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.
THIS IS ALL NATURAL PRODUCTS
INSIDE IT.
IT'S WITH CBD, CAMPHOR, MENTHOL,
PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE INGREDIENTS
AND IT'S UNBELIEVABLE HOW IT
WORKS.
IT'S ALL NATURAL AND IT'S JUST
GREAT.
IT HELPS RELIEVE THAT PAIN
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THROUGHOUT
THE DAY.
STUART: ARE YOU THE OFFICIAL
SPOKESPERSON OF CBD LINE OF
PRODUCTS?
>> I AM THE OFFICIAL
SPOKESPERSON FOR CBD MEDIC, YES.
STUART: IT IS CALLED ABACUS?
>> ABACUS HEALTH PRODUCTS.
STUART: WE HAVE A PACKAGE THERE.
HOW MUCH WOULD I BE ASKED TO PAY
FOR THAT?
>> ABOUT $40.
$39.99.
STUART: $40?
>> YES.
YOU GET THIS GRADE A BOTTLE,
TOO.
LOOK AT THAT.
FEEL IT.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
TAKE A LITTLE SNIFF.
IT WILL OPEN UP EVERYTHING.
STUART: I CAN'T DO THAT.
>> WANT ME TO GET THAT OFF?
STUART: BEFORE WE GO.
>> LOOK AT THIS PACKAGING.
A-PLUS PACKAGING, TOO.
YOU KNOW WITH THE CANDY BARS AND
STUFF, YOU USUALLY DO THAT.
STUART: WE DON'T WANT ANY SALES
FROM GRONK TODAY COMMISSIONABLE
TO ME.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
LOOK IT UP IN THE STOCK MARKET.
IT'S GOING WAY UP RIGHT NOW.
STUART: IF I'M IN PAIN I NEED TO
GET THIS STUFF FAST.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE MIGHT HAVE TO WORK ON THIS.
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS?
IT'S BECAUSE MY HANDS ARE JUST
EXTREMELY HUGE.
I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MANY
TIMES.
I GOT LARGE FINGERS.
