SkinnyGirl Marijuana? That's the plan for Bethenny Frankel, Real Housewives of New York star, SkinnyGirl Cocktails inventor/creator and entrepreneur, according to sources. Having already leveraged her RHONY fame into a multi-million dollar empire with Skinnygirl Vodka and a range of SkinnyGirl cocktails (note, you've got to be overage to check out that page) including Pina Coladas, Mojitos and even Sparkling Margaritas (!?) reports are coming in that Frankel is planning on launching a 'non-munchies' SkinnyGirl Marijuana in US states where pot has been decriminalized, like Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Alaska.
According to US Weekly, a source close to Bethenny said that the pot strain for SkinnyGirl Marijuana would "be a specially engineered strain of pot designed to not give you the munchies."
They went on to tell US Weekly that the 44 year old entrepreneur "read about how profitable the cannabis industry is and wants to get in on that."
TMZ confirmed the story and added that "the woman who built Skinnygirl products into a multi-million dollar empire is now branching out into weed. Our sources confirm Frankel is working on selling a kind of pot that does NOT give you the munchies."
They add that her recent trip to Colorado in December 2014 might have been a holiday... but could have also doubled as market research
OMG it's the craziest thing to see marijuana legal in Aspen. People walking into pot stores like it's the @Gap #prohibitiondone
