A company called Foria has an interesting way for you to relieve your menstrual cramps.
Foria sells a vaginal suppository that contains cocoa butter and the two compounds found in cannabis: tetrahydrocannibinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).
"Together they activate certain cannabinoid receptors in the pelvic region when introduced into the body via these specially formulated suppositories. Users have reported a significant decrease in the pain and discomfort often associated with menstruation,” Foria's website says.
Broadly's Mish Way claims that not only do they work, but they have a long-lasting effect. "Midol will wear off after about half a work day, and during most periods I'll pop six a day," Mish writes. "But one Foria suppository did its job well into my evening.”
Foria also produces a “green lube,” a cannabis-infused coconut oil that you can spray down there for better sex.
According to Vice, women who use weed lube have reported more frequent and intense orgasms.
Women using weed for sexual health isn’t something new, though, it’s a tradition that goes back thousands of years.
Historians claim that in Ancient Egypt, women inserted marijuana down below to ease pain during childbirth, according to 2002 book "Women and Cannabis: Medicine, Science and Sociology." It was used to "cool the uterus and eliminate its heat,” by being ground into honey.
“Women and Cannabis” also suggests that in 7th century India, cannabis was used in tantric sex rituals as a drink called bhang.
"Sometimes the bhang was nothing more than a green ball of cannabis mixed with milk, but it could also be a delicious marijuana milkshake made from prime resin-laden cannabis flowers and leaves, mixed with milk, sugar, pepper, almonds, cardamom, poppy seeds, ginger and other herbs,” says the book. "These preparations were heated before serving to allow fat-soluble THC the opportunity to catalyze into a pyschoactive form effective on humans.”
“Fusion” claims that in 1930s Russia, recently married women "used a mixture of lamb's fat and nasha (cannabis) to make their wedding night less uncomfortable by reducing 'the pain of defloration.”
“Women and Cannabis” also claims that cannabis roots were used in 18th century Indonesia to cure gonorrhea.
In the 1800s, a doctor in Georgia used a mixture of “sugar of milk” and cannabis to cure gonorrhea, “Women of Cannabis” claims. "I used the following prescription in four cases of gonorrhea, and was successful in every case, in from five to seven days,” the doctor said.
All over the Internet, women today are sharing how they use marijuana for sexual health. A women on Reddit wrote in 2014 about making her very own lube.
"I've done my fair share of drugs, but before this weekend I wouldn't have said I had ever had a spiritual experience," the woman wrote on Reddit. "I remember lying in bed in a semiconscious state, and becoming time itself. I witnessed the harmonic motion of colliding galaxies, and I had a feeling of deep understanding and purpose."
