Gwyneth Paltrow shows her support for cannabis by posting recipes on how to make CBD infused cocktails on her blog, Goop.com.

CBD is a compound found in cannabis which has medical benefits and makes people feel relaxed, but has no psychoactive affects unlike another compound found in cannabis: THC.

Gwyneth Paltrow, famous actress and writer, surprised several of her blog readers when she posted a series of recipes of how to make weed cocktails like Cannabis Cup, Up in Smoke, and gin-loving ladies favorite: Gin & Chronic.

The blog, Goop.com claims as CBD drinks are gaining wide popularity among restaurants in California from smoothies to lattes, and even cocktails.

“Ringing in 2018 with a CBD-spiked cocktail intrigued many of us at Goop; depending on where you live and what the laws are (they’re about to become even more relaxed here in Los Angeles), it seems like just about everyone is experimenting with cannabidiol (also known as CBD) oils and tinctures. Devotees swear it helps with everything from sleep and stress, to canine joint pain and behavioral issues (seriously), and have started mixing it into smoothies, lattes, and—at certain restaurants and pop-ups around town—cocktails. Maxwell Reis’ CBD cocktails at Gracias Madre, the vegan Mexican restaurant in West Hollywood, are justly famous: He was one of the first people we know to incorporate CBD into cocktails, and he’s definitely one of the most talented,” Paltrow’s famous lifestyle blog Goop.com states.

Paltrow has been an open advocate of cannabis for a couple years now, so this move by her may be a revolutionary one for all of Hollywood. Let’s wait and see who else joins her lead.
