The Best Marijuana Strains for Cramps
By:
Ladies, we all know that a hot compress and a dose of Ibuprofen can help relieve menstrual cramps, but what about marijuana?
There are countless studies proving weed's effectiveness in treating pain, and now some are trying to take advantage of its pain-relieving ability to treat period discomfort. Although some may recommend using cannabis to treat menstrual cramps, there is still much debate among experts if marijuana is a viable and safe way to treat menstrual cramps—mainly because there isn't a lot of research conducted on pot's effect on periods.
Approximately 50 percent of women experience period pain, and 10 percent of women suffer from cramps so severe that they have to stop their daily activities. But not all marijuana strains are equal. Each strain produces different effects based on their ingredients. Leafly.com analyzed user reviews and strain composition to come up with a list of the best strains for cramps.
