Whoopi Goldberg is looking to take her menstrual marijuana business north of the border.
Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ran on a platform which included marijuana legalization. As of now, Canada is set to make weed legal in 2017. Goldberg, most known for Sister Act and currently hosting The View, is aiming to jump on the legalization train. She wants to take her medical marijuana company Whoopi & Maya across the border and sell products in Canada.
Whoopi & Maya’s current line contains marijuana-infused body rubs, bath salts, and THC Tincture. Goldberg told the Canadian Press it won’t be easy to launch her product in Canada without overcoming some hurdles, but admitted “we’re just getting our toenails wet”
Goldberg was complimentary of Trudeau calling the 44-year-old smart.
“Your new guy is so smart — young baby Trudeau,” Goldberg said. “He’s so smart at this. I just want to make sure that we’re talking to people so that we can bring our product.”
There will be challenges for Goldberg and her business partner to overcome since marijuana won’t be legalized in Canada until sometime next year and they’re an American brand. However, looking at options now and planning ahead of time is a smart way to get themselves familiar with the market and be ready to launch in Canada when the appropriate time comes.
Goldberg knows cannabis will be great for the economy and wants in on the action. She’s a shrewd businesswoman.
