Whoopi Goldberg has revealed she is launching her own medical marijuana company to help women who suffer from menstrual cramps.
The actress and TV host's Whoopi & Maya line, created with businesswoman Maya Elisabeth, will include a balm, bath soak, chocolate drink and tincture.
The products are designed to help ease and relieve period pain.
Goldberg told Glamour her daughter and granddaughters had inherited her "horrific" cramps but when she spoke to men in the marijuana business about developing a product she was told it was "too niche a market".
"It's like, half of the planet is not a niche market!" she said.
"Most guys don't have any idea what a period is or how it works. It's like, 'There's a vagina, and there's an egg...'"
The star has been open about her cannabis use in the past which she says has helped with glaucoma-related headaches.
