American actress and comedian, Whoopi Goldberg, believes that “cannabis” can be used for medicinal purposes and not “taboo” anymore. She said cannabis is “probably the greatest medicine on the planet”.
Speaking in a new Interview with Forbes, the 68-year-old Sister Act star revealed she used cannabis medicinally in the past to help with painful menstrual cramps.
According to her, “We know that’s wrong. And people say, ‘well, that’s just anecdotal,’ but it’s not anecdotal. Cannabis is probably the greatest medicine on the planet.”
The Ghost actress revealed that, “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.”
“Everybody you talk to would tell you that medicine doesn’t have to be horrifying, 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.” She added
She further remarked that: “They’re not taboo anymore because we all know women get a period.”
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 all know, works.”
