The Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel is apparently looking to sell pot.

To add to her already successful Skinnygirl empire, Frankel plans to launch her own line of marijuana fit for the brand, Us Weekly reported in its January 26 issue.
The Skinnygirl marijuana will reportedly be sold in Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington where recreational pot is legal.
"It will be a specially engineered strain of pot designed not to give you the munchies," a source close to Frankel told the magazine. "She read about how profitable the cannabis industry is and wants to get in on that."
Frankel, 44, took a trip to Aspen in December 2014 and toured dispensaries all the while checking out her competition, according to another source.

On a more personal note, an insider said Frankel's still going through a "nasty" divorce with Jason Hoppy, also 44, because he "turned down a $3 million settlement offer because he wanted more." She initially filed for divorce in December 2013.
Frankel was an original Housewife and left the franchise after its third season back in 2010. However, Bravo announced the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City's upcoming seventh season in October 2014, and it will include the return of Frankel.
Frankel will join The Real Housewives of New York City's returning stars Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson, Kristen Taekman, LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan.
Prior to her talk show Bethenny, Frankel starred in the Bravo spinoffs Bethenny Getting Married? and Bethenny Ever After.
