It may not be legal in all 50 states, but that’s not stopping Hollywood. Just add Whoopi Goldberg to the growing list of celebrity Marijuana entrepreneurs.
On Wednesday (March 30), the comedian announced that she is starting a line of marijuana products specifically focused on painful periods. Yes, you read that right. (ladies everywhere raise hands.)
Co-founded with cannabis entrepreneur Maya Elisabeth, the new business — dubbed Whoopi & Maya — aims to help women get through hard times of the month with the help of their top-shelf, medical-grade ganja.
“This was all inspired by my own experience from a lifetime of difficult periods and the fact that cannabis was literally the only thing that gave me relief,” Goldberg said in a statement. “Every month women experience pain and discomfort associated with their period. Cannabis is a wonderful remedy, and …can provide the type of relief many women need.”
From a quick glance at the site, there’s a Cannabis Bath Soak, which comes in three different fragrances and “promotes a state of deep relaxation and offers relief from the aches, pains and cramping associated with the menstrual cycle.”
There’s Savor, a Superfood-style jar of cacao that coupled with cannabis promises to help women deal with inflammation, irritability, and joint and uterine pain, according to the site.
And there’s also a skin cream that’s dubbed Rub and a tincture line called Relax.
Only four licensed medical marijuana dispensaries will carry Whoopi & Maya when it goes on sale next month; however, the company says its products should be widely available throughout the state sometime this year.
Notably absent from Whoopi & Maya: actual bud. That’s not by accident.
However Whoopi is clearly going after a different consumer.
“For me, I feel like if you don’t want to get high high, this is a product specifically just to get rid of discomfort,” she told Vanity Fair. “Smoking a joint is fine, but most people can’t smoke a joint and go to work.”
My two-cents: I’m HERE FOR IT!!
