All of those medical benefits that are commonly treated with smoking or edibles including digestion upset, pain and anxiety are all present when Aunt Flo shows up. Of course, certain strains are going to be better than others but a hybrid comprised of 75% indica and 25% sativa are highly recommended.
Beyond traditional methods of taking marijuana, there is an even more direct method of calming those cramps – marijuana tampons.
Foria, one of the more popular brands, has created a product that works basically like a tampon suppository, and provides relief for cramps straight to the source. They contain THC oil and CBD infused with cocoa butter. These are only available in California and Colorado currently but are expected to expand sales to other states that have passed laws for medical and personal marijuana use.

Women have reported decreased bleeding and pain after use as well. Before you try for yourself, if you have any pre-existing medical conditions it’s always best to check your doctor.
