 Whoopi Goldberg Launches New Medical Marijuana Products For Women  

BHR Hollywood Reports.......Goldberg's latest sister act is a line of marijuana-infused products, under the brand name Whoopi & Maya, to reduce menstrual pain and cramps with "canna-businesswoman" Maya Elisabeth.

"Even Queen Victoria found relief once a month with her favorite THC infused tincture," the Whoopi & Maya website says, referring to the psychoactive chemical compound found in cannabis.

It's Goldberg's first foray into the legal U.S. weed market, which saw sales jump 17 percent year-on-
year to $5.4 billion in 2015, according to ArcView Group.

It comes nearly two years after Goldberg wrote a piece for The Cannabist, espousing her love for her marijuana vaporizer pen for helping rid her of glaucoma-induced headaches.

Goldberg then considered extending the pain-relieving effects on glaucoma to period pain, according to an interview with Vanity Fair published online on Wednesday.

 After finding out that no one was yet marketing marijuana for menstrual cramps, she got in touch with Elisabeth's company.

The line will include a balm, a tincture, sipping chocolate and a bath soak. For now, it will only be available in medical marijuana dispensaries in California.

Goldberg's fondness for weed is well-documented.

 For further proof, enjoy her introduction to a column for The Cannabist: "My vape pen and I, a love story." Her vape is named Sippy, by the way. They're very happy together.

When Goldberg was first exploring the idea, she was told that the product did not have a broad enough appeal.

“When I asked whether there was medicinal cannabis out there to give relief to women with cramps, I was told that would be a ‘niche’ product,” Goldberg told Reports.

“We’re here for that niche, which is made up of half the population.”
