Perhaps if I had just smoked weed during college, I could have avoided the last decade and a half of terrible menstrual pain each month.
No, it’s not a subject that I really like talking about.
But the fact that I was able to completely change this about my cycle with medical cannabis motivates me to share. Since I was in college, my cycle could have really brutal months where I experienced intense pain, bloating and fatigue. It only got worse the more I aged. My doctor put me on the pill and that really just made the situation more regimented. And nothing else fundamentally changed my period each month. Then I started to hear about the medical marijuana benefits. Once there were legal weed shops, I had heard about other women treating their cycle symptoms with medical cannabis. The marijuana regulations weren’t that tough to deal with so I figured, why not? I’m so very, very thankful for the medical marijuana information that got me onto cannabis flower products. It’s simply remarkable the transformation in my period. I’m no longer a complete mess for weeks. My cycle is now way more normal and so much less intense. And the inflammation I dealt with during my period is also almost totally diminished. I’m just so thankful that I can use something that is safe, effective and natural to deal with something all us girls do. I’m all for having a baby maker. Thankfully, medical cannabis allows me to live well almost all month now.
