Whoopi Goldberg calls ‘cannabis’ greatest medicine on the planet

Whoopi Goldberg believes “cannabis” can be used for medicinal purposes and not “taboo” anymore.

In a new interview with Forbes, the Sister Act star revealed medicating should not feel uncomfortable.

“We know that's wrong. And people say, ‘well, that's just anecdotal,’ but it's not anecdotal,” said the 68-year-old, who is launching her own line, Emma & Clyde, in July including edibles and pre-rolls.

Whoopi stated, “Cannabis is probably the greatest medicine on the planet.”

The Ghost actress shared, “For people like me, it was always used to stop the [menstrual] cramps – and the side hustle of that is that it was fun, it made you laugh and stuff.”

She continued, “Everybody you talk to would tell you that medicine doesn't have to be horrifying.”

Whoopi mentioned, “Especially when it's herbal, when it's growing out of the ground and doesn't need an additive, which means it can stay reasonably priced for people to go pick it up.”

“They're not taboo anymore because we all know women get a period,” she remarked.

Whoopi pointed out, “So, you can either make it hard, which they've done in terms of creating something that helps women... But this [cannabis] we know works.”

“Medicine should be in the hands of people,” added The View co-host,

For the unversed, Whoopi’s brand is named after her late mother and brother, who both used cannabis for different purposes.
