Whoopi Goldberg: My vape pen and I, a love story
"I took a sip. It was beautiful. And my pen and I have been together ever since."
PUBLISHED: APR 17, 2014, 7:40 AM
By Whoopi Goldberg, The Cannabist Staff
My vape pen and I maintain a mostly private relationship. Sure, Ill sometimes show my pen to a friend or share her with a close confidant. But mostly its just she and I working through my pain. And her ability to help me live comfortably with glaucoma makes her one of the more important figures in my day to day.
When I show her to a friend, the reaction 99 percent of the time is: Holy shit, where did you get this and how can I get me one? Theyre seriously that blown away by my vape pen. And they should be. Shes that amazing.
As I write my debut column for The Cannabist, talking about this newly legal weed and admiring the states that have had the foresight to legalize medical marijuana, Im most tempted to extol the virtues of the vape pen. I didnt anticipate this first column to be such a love story, some sort of semi-romantic comedy. But it works, and its true, and so here we go.
The vape pen has changed my life. No, Im not exaggerating. In fact, her name is Sippy. Yes, shes a she. And yes, I named her Sippy because I take tiny, little sips sassy sips, even from her. And with each sip comes relief from pressure, pain, stress, discomfort. But Im getting ahead of myself.
