Cramps, lower back pain, fatigue. Many women hate the time of the month when their period shows up.
Many flock to painkillers like Midol, Advil, and Tylenol when the pain becomes too severe. But a new remedy has some women curious.
Marijuana tampons. Yes, they apparently exist now.
The company Foria is putting out the tampons and the creators of the product say it helps ease the discomfort, without giving women a psychotropic high.

(80,708 posts)Haven't actually, erm, tried any of that.... but I did massage some pot topical someone had into a sore shoulder, once. Didn't notice any huge improvement -or a buzz, for that matter- but I didn't use very much.

(17,048 posts)I guess the sales are restricted to certain states?
Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)In addition to normal recreational pot sales, Oregon now has limited edible sales as well as extracts and I believe topicals, for recreational users. They've been out there for medical card holders for longer.

(111,383 posts)Cannabinoids would work a hell of a lot better in the bloodstream and a tampon isn't the best way to get them there.
Now a suppository might be a little different.
Texasgal
(17,048 posts)for sure... Not sure I would be willing to spend that much money for that kind of supply, although I think it would nice to atleast try it.
