Whoopi Goldberg turns weed columnist

Los Angeles: Actress-comedian Whoopi Goldberg has turned weed columnist which she claims has helped her in her glaucoma.The 58-year-old `View` co-host wrote the column in Denver Post`s marijuana-focused website, reportedly. "The vape pen has changed my life. No, I`m not exaggerating. In fact, her name is Sippy. Yes, she`s a she," Goldberg wrote, saying the electronic marijuana device, gifted to her by daughter, has been a huge improvement. "These glaucoma-induced headaches come on like freight trains ? like, BOOM, my head starts hurting, my eyes start bugging, my whole body starts to tense up. But then I find her, and it relaxes everything and calms everything. It helps my head stop hurting, and with glaucoma your eyes ache, and she takes the ache out. It`s wonderful," she wrote. Goldberg, however, explained that she has never been high when she is on TV. "It helps that I know when to do it. I have a day job where I need to be clear. But if I need it after the show, she`s there. And if I don`t feel any pain, she stays in my purse."
