TV star to launch 'Skinnygirl' marijuana

US TV personality Bethenny Frankel could soon release her own line of marijuana that's been tweaked so that it won't give you the munchies.

The cannabis will be part of Frankel's Skinnygirl brand empire and will be available everywhere in the US where recreational use of marijuana is allowed, according to US Weekly.

So far, this includes Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington. Some states, like California, allow marijuana for medical purposes.

The entrepreneur had tweeted from Aspen, Colorado her delight in seeing marijuana widely available back in December.

After her 2005 appearance on "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart," Frankel was selected to join the cast of "The Real Housewives of New York City" in 2008.

She launched Skinnygirl, a line of low-calorie cocktails, in 2011, later selling it to Fortune Brands' Beam Global.

She hosted "Bethenny," her own talk show, until it was canceled in February 2014.
