Women who suffer from cramps during ‘that time of the month’ usually go out of their way to find alternative means of relief. And it appears there is a new source, albeit a rather unorthodox one.
An American company, Foria- which specialises in cannabis oil and cannabis-infused products such as weed lubes- has come out with relief suppositories for $44, to help women with severe menstrual cramps, without making them high.
According to Foria’s website:
“Cannabis has a huge, cross cultured history of use as a natural aid in easing symptoms associated with menstruation. Our intention is to share the powerful medicinal properties of this plant, while utilizing modern extraction techniques to standardize purity and potency, thereby ensuring a safe and accessible experience for all women.”
Each suppository (solid dosage form, in this case inserted into the vagina) is made with fair trade cocoa butter, organic hemp and other oils.
While Foria says its hemp tampons are yet to be confirmed by the FDA, several reviewers who claim to have used the product find it to be more than effective.
