Whoopi Goldberg announced Wednesday that she’s launching a
medical-marijuana company with Maya Elisabeth, one of the leading
“canna-businesswomen” in the field, with a line of products designed to provide
relief from menstrual cramps.

The company, Maya & Whoopi, will offer cannabis edibles, tinctures,
topical rubs, and a THC-infused bath soak that it describes as “profoundly
relaxing.”
In an interview with Vanity Fair, The View co-host said she wanted to
create a product for women that was discreet, provided relief, and wouldn’t
leave you glued to your couch.
“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 says. “Smoking a joint is
fine, but most people can’t smoke a joint and go to work.”
“This, you can put it in your purse,” Goldberg continues. “You can put the
rub on your lower stomach and lower back at work, and then when you get home
you can get in the tub for a soak or make tea, and it allows you to continue to
work throughout the day.”
Goldberg has been outspoken about her medical-marijuana use in the past. In
2014, she wrote in The Cannabist about her love of her kush-filled vape pen,
which she says gives her relief from glaucoma-related headaches without
resorting to eating handfuls of Advil every day.
“I started using the vape pen because I stopped smoking cigarettes about
four years ago and discovered I couldn’t smoke a joint anymore,” she says. “The
relief that I got with the vape pen was kind of different from what I got with
smoking. I could control it much better.”
