When Southern Californian Travis Barker, the legendary drummer, singer and record producer for the rock band Blink-182, survived an airplane crash, he made some lifestyle changes.
Living with pain, he worked on eliminating pain-dulling narcotics and used exercise and a vegan diet to help in his recovery.
In 2021, he launched a line of cannabinoid-infused products that he named , with Ash Patel, CEO and Co-founder, and Jordan Tisdale. It’s a line of wellness and skin products Barker uses to help him sleep, relax and rest after being on the road performing on a fast paced concert tour.

Barker Wellness is all natural, vegan, cruelty-free products that are ethically made THC-free. In a press release, Baker stated ‘I started trying lots of different CBD products in my own daily routine and saw their benefits firsthand.’
As the co-founder of Barker Wellness he decided to create his own ideal formulas to improve his general health. He realized it was important to not primarily use just CBD, but he wanted to incorporate lesser-known, but highly powerful cannabinoids. Using a combination of CBG, CBN and CBC with herbs and natural ingredients creates a highly effective product that effectively targets his different needs.
As he focused on health and recovery to attain a healthy functional lifestyle, Barker discovered cannabinoids’ unique ability to nurture both the body and the mind. These healing properties are infused in his premium, THC-free, cannabinoid-products.
