Cannabis has all sorts of excellent benefits for women’s health, particularly for helping make the monthly visit of Aunt Flo a little more bearable.

If you’re like me, a week each month before my period I go into all sorts of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde mode. I fixate on the tiniest problems and it feels like the world is going to end. If I’m going through a tough or stressful time, the tears come on like waterfalls. Basically, my emotions are on complete haywire and it sometimes gets so bad that I don’t even realize that it’s just the monthly PMS. Not to mention the severe cramps and pain that I also have to deal with.

I know I’m not alone. Millions of women go through the same, often even worse, symptoms of PMS. The physical and emotional changes that women have to go through as a result of hormonal changes can vary from mild to intense. Thankfully, I know that I can count on weed to give me a little helping hand most especially at that time of the month.

Women should seriously consider cannabis as a natural alternative to painkillers and other medications used to make PMS more manageable. There’s a serious lack of information in this area, maybe because cannabis is still associated to bro-culture as part of the stereotypes.
