Ricki Lake Dives Into the Cannabis Scene with ‘Ricki Lake & Bake’ Collaboration
Ricki Lake, the beloved figure from the daytime television era, has announced an exciting venture into the cannabis industry with her new product, “Ricki Lake & Bake.” This collaboration with Stone Road Farms, based in California, marks a significant step in her career and advocacy for cannabis.
In a press statement released on December 3, Lake expressed her enthusiasm for this new chapter, stating, “I obviously believe in this medicine, and in Stone Road’s brand and what they’ve built. It is so aligned with where I am in my life, and I’m so happy to be bringing this out.” Each pouch of “Ricki Lake & Bake” features a half ounce of premium infused solventless bubble hash cultivated on Stone Road Farms’ expansive 57-acre ranch nestled in Nevada City, California. Uniquely, each pouch is adorned with a custom Ricki sticker, making it a collectible item for fans.
Beyond her new product launch, Ricki Lake is no stranger to the world of cannabis. Having risen to fame as Tracy Turnblad in the iconic 1988 film “Hairspray,” Lake has been open about her cannabis use and even her personal cultivation of the plant. Lex Corwin, the CEO and founder of Stone Road Farms, noted that his inspiration to collaborate with Lake came after visiting her home and learning about her passion for cannabis, both as a consumer and a grower.
After her talk show ran from 1993 to 2004, Lake remained active in various media endeavors, including the documentary “The Business of Being Born,” which shed light on home birth. Her 2018 documentary “Weed the People” focused on the therapeutic potential of cannabis for pediatric cancer treatment. Additionally, she has hosted the wellness podcast “The High Life With Ricki Lake,” further solidifying her commitment to health and wellness.
Recently, Lake has made headlines not only for her product launch but also for her impressive weight loss journey. She shared her transformation, revealing a 30-pound loss on Instagram, a commitment she began in October 2023. She has credited her success to lifestyle changes made alongside her husband, Ross Burningham, who also achieved significant weight loss. As they both navigated this journey, Lake emphasized her preference to avoid pharmaceuticals, instead opting for a natural approach to wellness.
Ricki Lake’s multifaceted career continues to evolve as she embraces new challenges and remains a prominent voice in both entertainment and health advocacy. With the launch of “Ricki Lake & Bake,” fans can expect to see her influence in the cannabis community grow, reflecting her personal beliefs and lifestyle choices.
