Goldberg writes about 'love story' with marijuana 'vape pen'

Whoopi Goldberg has said she loves her marijuana-vapourising pen.

In a new column for the Denver Post’s Cannabist website, the Oscar-winning entertainer wrote that her “vape pen” relieves the devastating glaucoma headaches she suffers without overwhelming her with a marijuana high.

The comments came in Goldberg’s debut column, titled 'Whoopi Goldberg: My vape pen and I, a love story'.

She said marijuana eases the pressure, pain and stress of glaucoma, and her vapourising pen allows her to get the right amount in small sips.

She praises the vape pen's "ability to help me live comfortably with glaucoma" and says this "makes (the pen) one of the more important figures in my day to day".

Goldberg, 58, says she is discreet about using the pen if she is in jurisdictions where medical marijuana is illegal.

The film and TV star lives in New Jersey, where residents have the right to possess and use medical marijuana under certain circumstances.
