Macy Gray: ‘People should use cannabis every day’

Macy Gray believes people should treat cannabis like a “vitamin” and use it every day.
The I Try singer, who is planning to launch her own line of cannabis oil-based cosmetics, is a staunch advocate for the benefits of marijuana, claiming it has helped ease her mother’s cancer pain.
“It’s good for depression, they say – I don’t know proof of that one,” she told the Vanyaland website. “It’s becoming like a one-a-day vitamin, I think, for everybody. So we’re doing different products with that, but we’re also doing good ol’ weed too.”
Macy is also exploring opportunities to market cannabis products to women, adding: “I go to these dispensaries, and I see the marketing for weed, and it’s always directed at men. Sixty per cent of marijuana smokers in the USA are women.”
Gray has abandoned plans to have her cosmetics line out by Christmas (19), but explains she may expand into areas beyond beauty.
“We were hoping to be out by Christmas, but it’s not looking like that’s gonna happen,” she says. “Maybe we’ll have our first product out by Christmas. We’re actually doing a hair oil, we’re doing a lip gloss, and we’re doing just straight-up, good, proper, amazing cannabis/weed.
“We’re thinking about getting into hemp clothing. I’m not a big fan of hemp clothing, but it would make sense for the line. And then we want to do great healing products.”
