“I took a sip. It was beautiful. And my pen and I have been together ever since,” writes Goldberg as she describes her portable vaporizer. She recounts her first column as more of a love story between herself and “Sippy,” her pen.

Yes, she’s 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 I’m getting ahead of myself. Maybe two years ago once I stopped smoking cigarettes, I really tried to smoke a joint. I had to “really try” because I was having a hard time with it. Suddenly I had virginal lungs, and I was feeling quite annoyed about it all.

It also turns out that Whoopi’s daughter was the one to, first, introduce her to the portable pen.
