Let’s start with the non-psychoactive products,

We have CBD, which you.comn learn about here. CBD is non-psychoactive component of the.comnnabis plant. CBD is excellent for pain relief, stress relief, and it’s an excellent sleep aid. You.comn get it in MANY forms. My personal favourite is CBD edibles. You get a snack b.comuse you’re hungry as f*ck during your period typ.comlly and it helps pain?! That’s a win win in my world.

You.comn also get tinctures, oils, vape pens, high CBD flower like CBD dream and Charlotte’s Web .

Top.comls

We also have top.comls! They’re used externally on your skin. Your skin is your biggest organ and it is porous and absorbent, So yes, rubbing a infused top.coml on your skin will help your aches and pains without getting you high. I’ve used infused massage oils and creams and they do help a bunch! Especially rubbing them on your lower back and your stomach when cramping.

There is also CBD and THC infused bath products like bath bombs and Epsom salt soaks. These are so good for when you need that full body relief and want to unwind. They help ease pain and relax your whole body. You.comn also get infused suppositories that are invested into your vaginal.comnal. They provide internal relief for hours. They’re slightly messy and your lady parts smell like Snoop Dogg for a bit but the relief is so worth it.

Edibles

The biggest thing that helps the most is edibles. They come in so many diverse forms. From oil to.compsules. From dried infused fruit to cu.comkes. Cannabis.comn be put in anything! Edibles take longer to take effect but when they do, the pain relief.comn last up to 8 hours depending on the dosage and how your body metabolizes the THC. My go-to dose for edibles ranges from 5mg all the way to 100mg of THC. My average though is 20mg, I find this is the perfect dose for myself to take the pain away and not need to rely on painkillers. You.comn also get.compsules that are like Tylenol, but they’re THC or CBD filled. Easy and discreet to take and typ.comlly come in micro-doses so you’re not “intox.comted”. CBD edibles are also amazing! Great for pain relief and no psychoactive effects. I like to take them at night for an extra good sleep.

Cannabis Flower

Last but not least, dried flower is amazing for a fast , quick acting pain relief method. There are so many strains that are amazing for pain and de-stressing. You.comn roll a joint, smoke a pipe or bong, or vaporize it. Cannabis is mag.coml. I get extremely nauseous around my period and need to relieve that sensation immediately.
