cannabis Colorado -- Whoopi Goldberg is a new columnist for the “The Cannabist,” the Denver Post website that covers marijuana. In her debut column titled “My vape pen and I, a love story,” Goldberg describes her use of the vape pen (a pen-sized vaporizer) to help combat glaucoma.

“The View” host writes, “My vape pen and I maintain a mostly private relationship. Sure, I’ll sometimes show my pen to a friend or share her with a close confidant. But mostly it’s just she and I working through my pain. And her ability to help me live comfortably with glaucoma makes her one of the more important figures in my day to day.

“When I show her to a friend, the reaction 99 percent of the time is: “Holy sh–, where did you get this and how can I get me one?” They’re seriously that blown away by my vape pen. And they should be. She’s that amazing.”

Goldberg continues, “As I write my debut column for The Cannabist, talking about this newly legal weed and admiring the states that have had the foresight to legalize medical marijuana, I’m most tempted to extol the virtues of the vape pen. I didn’t anticipate this first column to be such a love story, some sort of semi-romantic comedy. But it works, and it’s true, and so here we go.”

A representative for Goldberg did not immediately return a request for comment.

Goldberg has shared her use of marijuana with audiences on “The View.”

On Jan. 1, Colorado legalized marijuana for recreational use. According to the AP, marijuana sales for the state for the next fiscal year are expected to be about $610 million.

“The Cannabist” ?
I hadn't noticed that The Post had named their little site, "The Cannabist".

Cool.
