Drawing from her own experiences, acclaimed actress Whoopi Goldberg is addressing the monthly challenges of menstruation—experienced by women about 12 times a year, including abdominal cramps, nausea, fatigue, and irritability. Goldberg advocates for cannabis as a natural, effective alternative to traditional medications, emphasizing its therapeutic benefits without the potential downsides of other drugs. While opinions may vary, medicinal marijuana remains federally illegal in the U.S., though states like Colorado, Alaska, and Washington have legalized its medical use. In France, the topic is far from mainstream.
Partnering with Maya Elisabeth, founder of Om Edibles, Goldberg co-created the "Whoopi & Maya" brand. Their lineup features cocoa paste, creams, bubble baths, and herbal infusions, available at licensed marijuana dispensaries in California, where medical sales are permitted.
As Whoopi Goldberg's character Sister Act's Sister Mary Clarence might say, "Hallelujah!"—a fitting exclamation for innovative relief from period discomfort.
