Menstrual Marijuana: Treating Cramps With Weed

[xPennyLanex]

First there was Snoop Dogg updating our education with his high-commentary on nature documentaries, and now Whoopi Goldberg is planning to ease our lady issues with a little weed.. Is it just me, or does all of this sound a little crazy?

In case you haven’t heard, Whoopi Goldberg recently launched a product line designed to take the misery out of menstrual pains. Though many people could rely on simply Midol or a lavender bubble bath, Whoopi wants to make our monthly issues as painless as possible. To that, I commend her for her dedication!

After many years of painful periods and monthly annoyances, Whoopi jumped on the lucrative medical marijuana bandwagon and launched “Whoopi & Maya”. The cannabis-infused products include a balm, a tincture, sipping chocolate, and a THC bath soak. Rather than smoking a joint and being too high to head to work, her products allow the right amount of pain reduction with her topical rubs that you can toss in your purse.

Whoopi has always been very public about smoking marijuana, so it’s no surprise she launches her own marijuana company. Despite the pros and cons with the marijuana industry, a new product line designed to ease the pain and unfortunate side effects of periods is definitely worth trying!

As heavenly as this may sound, “Whoopi & Maya” products are only available in California to individuals with a medical marijuana card.

Would you try cannabis-infused products for period pain?

As Amazing as this My Take is, @xPennyLanex, I do Not Approve Of Using Anything like this for Anyone's Pain in their Drain.
I have had Personal Experiences with family and friends who Used the Cannabis, and it was Not a Pleasant journey Watching what happened to them, making them lethargic and all, Wrecking their Life with Strife.
Good luck. xx

What next? Morphine?

[Echo123]

You think the crap they put in over the counter medicine is any better? Not to mention alcohol is just as bad. Prescription pain killers are even worse.

[Isaif370]

@Echo123 WhaT is your hupothesis behind this?

[Echo123]

@Isaif370 next time you visit your doctor take a peak into the big blue book of medications sitting in the room. You'd be surprised at what's in common Tylenol!

[QuestionMan]

Morphine in small amounts is actually beneficial in easing pain.

[Chief16]

@QuestionMan a great deal of pain.

[FatherJack]

@Echo123 Amen , as I've posted , weed is outlawed to keep Big Pharma in big profit , it's the " Sickness Industry " with plenty of repeat business. Alcohol does a lot of damage & kills , both directly & indirectly.

[Northeast106]

Lmao at how anti-marijuana this site is. I mean I believe in priorities and staying clean unless you need it, but it's one of the most mild pain relieving medications out there. In fact, advil, acetaminophen, and aspirin can have much more deadly effects than pot can, yet they are still used responsibly by millions of adults. I understand if you choose not to smoke cannabis or use any cannabis products, that is your freedom to do so. I chose not to use marijuana for career reasons, but I would never support the idea of throwing people in jail for smoking reefer and not hurting anyone. Legalize it, liberate scientists so they can effectively study the substance, and respect that other people's choices, bodies, and free will. I mean fuck, half of you support abortion (which does affect another person who has no say), but you won't let someone inhale smoke if they choose to do so? Talk about double standards.

[FatherJack]

Amen , so many brainwashed people !!

[Spiorad_Aisce]

It strikes me as a marketing move designed to make Whoopi rich rather than a stand on legalising marijuana. My view on medical marijuana is positive as long as the product is controlled adheres to health/safety/quality standards and is prescribed/cleared by medical profession for the person who wants pain relief.
Legalising marijuana as a whole, yes to each their own but I would have the same ideas about quality control and controlled supply along the lines of licences as in the case of alcohol and tobacco. Plus I would advocate continued research into how use of marijuana affects users again in line with alcohol, tobacco and prescribed medicine research. I am neutral at the moment to the situation to be honest.

[Hopefuldreamer8]

I would at least try it once. I really don't smoke weed a lot, but I have indulged with friends at parties back in the day. I've been suffering with arthritis in my ankle for years. Someone gave me a weed brownie and that took away the pain better than tylenol does. I just don't do it all the time because I don't want to rely on anything all the time. I only take tylenol if the pain gets really bad, but for the most part I just try to suck it up. Also, I don't want to be stoned all the time. It really does help with pain.

[FatherJack]

The " War on Drugs " is the biggest load of hypocritical BS outside of radical feminism & politics , the only reason weed is illegal is to keep Big Pharma in big profits , just look at how brainwashed by 1930's " Reefer Madness " so many are , look at the damage alcohol does every day !! ( I HATE the lamestream " media " as it's total BS , Rothschild Cartel controlled propaganda !! )
Denying people a perfectly natural effective remedy is a crime in itself , I enjoy a small J just before bed on some nights , to ease pain & help me sleep.

[Isaif370]

I can definitely imagine this being part of a GTA commercial lmao

[aggressivebunny]

If its too ease the pain, why not. For all the people that didn't know, Cocaine was the pain killer used by medics before the invention of anti-biotics (early 1900's).

Any drug or substances that impairs judgement or the ability to be productive, will be heavily regulated for recreational use.

[NonCreativeUsername]

I mean they are contemplating legalizing it...

[nalaa]

heroin as well was used on soldiers in ww1. hence the name hero - in.

That just comes to show how bad synthetic medicine ca be, that they are giving us legally. Pain killers as well have a long list of bad side effects. That we know of. Paracetamol was recently involved in a scandal causing... something, I don't remember. But do you really think plant extracts are that much worse?

[aggressivebunny]

@nalaa It was more than heroin, its laced with other subtances. Battle crazed people called it stimpaks. When America invaded Iraq, they got resistance from foreign soldiers who used stimpaks. They were.. hard to kill, still shooting and moving without two legs.. lol

[nalaa]

Well I don't know what you're talking about, but during ww1 it was advertised as non addictive cough medicine and was commonly misused during ww1, as pain killer.
And not just cough syrup, bayer (the company that invented and produced the drug) mixed it a lot of their tablets. Particularly strong pain killers

[TheFlak36]

Amazing... this forum's double standards never end. So criticising Islam, for instance, under a question of a muslim who preaches about Islamophobia in Europe gets your opinion removed, but an article advertising drugs with false information gets promoted. Bravo Gag admins.

[cipher42]

That's not a double standard at all. They're very different actions, and it's entirely possible that gag has a specific policy against one and not the other. Especially considering how said "criticism" can very easily stray into the area of harassment and bigotry, while advocating drug use can be at worst seen as misinformation or trying to convince people to do a dumb thing. One involves malice, the other simply stupidity.

[TheFlak36]

@cipher42 Yeah their policy is so specific that they didn't remove anything when muslim users threatened to cut off my head but instead removed my comments for being "offensive". I can go on and on and prove everything with screenshots I have kept.

[cipher42]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe just shoddy moderating. Maybe actual shittiness. Who knows.

[TheFlak36]

@cipher42 and yet happened multiple times and still happens.

[Echo123]

It's not illegal in all countries. It's not like she's pushing oxycodone, which by the way should be off the market.

[XRabbitHeartX]

Even though I dislike weed a lot for recreational use as I know many people who screwed up their lives over it, I would say I'd try it if I did have severe pain. I have no issue against the medicinal use of marijuana as it's not in the same quantities that some people smoke it on a recreational level. Thankfully I'm on BC and don't get cramps anymore.

[GingerBear]

No, I'm good. I'm not a fan of marijuana, and seeing as it's very much illegal here, I'm probably gonna steer clear of any products.

[somebodysaycheese]

Lavender tea, works fine for pains, aches and cramps

[Sunflower19]

Thats cool but I'll just stick to my ibuprofen, Ginger Root Tea and Raspberry Leaf Tea!

[Sara413]

I'd try it. Why not? Better than popping Advil like candy for 3 days straight every month.. and if it doesn't work oh well, tried something new and it didn't work.

[nalaa]

I think it's a great idea, I'd much rather take that than a few Ibuprofen, paracetamol or other pain killers, each of which have far more and far more severe side effects than weed

[FrostyFlame]

Sign me up for the topical stuff. Anyone claiming marijuana is dangerous hasn't done their research and hasn't considered the fact that alcohol is legal and claims more lives on a daily basis.

[pooper89]

I don't know... what's stopping women from seeing this and then just smoking a joint instead of buying the product. I would think that it would also only appeal to women who are 420 friendly to begin with

[Pooping]

I would say I'm excited to try those things but I know they won't sell them here so I'll just keep smoking lmao

[Ginnyweasley97]

I think I would try cannabis oil especially since I don't use pain killers. Since pain killers are bad for your liver.

[Maxemeister]

I will never approve of marijuana as medicine unless you're on death's door.

[Echo123]

Then you've never experienced chronic pain or a chronic illness that is life long.

[Maxemeister]

@Echo123 When I was a child I had constant asthma attacks. I've had the types of pain known to be the pain from cramps. Obviously it wasn't menstrual, but it matched the descriptions I looked up. Marijuana is an extremely damaging drug that people underestimate all the time

[Echo123]

You're 15 so yes it would be dangerous for you. But I know many people who suffer daily with chronic pain, specifically nerve pain which is relentless and can lead to sucide. I would much rather recommend them trying pot to ease their suffering than to tell them learn to cope without relief.

As a survivor from a serious illness myself I can say personally it's easy to speak but unless you live it for years, you'll never fully understand how hard it is to live every day in pain. Pain so bad you can't walk. Pain so bad you hurt just laying in bed. Prescription painkillers constipate, and have brutal side effects. Pot is not nearly as scary as oxycodone and other class drugs out there.

I believe when you're an adult it's your choice but nobody should be denied pain relief just because society has put a stigma attached.

[Maxemeister]

@Echo123 This isn't society telling me this. This is the fact that marijuana is also dangerous. It's NOWHERE near the top for pain relief, NOWHERE near the safest, it's simply not satisfactory! It's a gateway drug, each joint is equivalent to 3 cigarettes, and equally as dangerous.

[Echo123]

You don't have to smoke it to use it for pain. Look up addiction vs tolerance. Oxycodone, a legally prescribed narcotic is an epidemic in western society. I don't agree with anyone using pot for pain relief under the age of 23, but as an adult with a fully developed brain it should be an option if they have to go through life dealing with severe chronic pain.

[Maxemeister]

@Echo123 First of all, let me just say thank you lordy for saying that it should be adults only using it, because so many with underdeveloped brains wanna get their hands on it.

And secondly I don't know what Oxycodone is so I can't really make an argument

[Echo123]

If you were my kid I'd be proud! 👍🏻

[Valkyrie1]

Nop. I don't think it makes you high unless you consume but I'm not taking any chances. I wouldn't touch the stuff.

[Anonymous]

Just another wonder product like the rest of them. Next it will cure aging.

[Sabretooth]

it's pathetic.

[samhradh_leannan]

I don't like smoking or edibles, but I'd definitely try the topical stuff.
