Cannabis Suppositories

What are Cannabis Suppositories? ‍

Cannabis has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties, and with the increasing access to medical cannabis, more people are turning to it as an alternative to opioids or other pharmaceuticals.

One of the lesser-known methods of cannabis consumption is through suppositories. While this may sound unconventional, suppositories can be an effective way to use cannabis for women's health issues.

What are Cannabis Suppositories?

Cannabis suppositories are small, cylindrical capsules that are inserted into the vagina or rectum. They contain cannabis distillate and moisturizing virgin coconut oil that is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the mucus membranes of the vagina or rectum. The effects of cannabis suppositories are often felt within minutes and can last for several hours.‍

Why Use Cannabis Suppositories?

Cannabis suppositories have been found to be particularly effective for treating women's health issues because of the way they are absorbed into the body.

When cannabis is consumed orally, it must first pass through the digestive system, which can take a while and may result in a delayed onset of effects. When cannabis is inhaled, it is absorbed through the lungs, but this method can be harsh on the respiratory system.

By contrast, cannabis suppositories are absorbed quickly and directly into the bloodstream, making them a gentle and effective way to use cannabis for women's health.

Additionally, cannabis suppositories may impart little to no psychoactivity when compared with other forms of administration. This may be preferred by patients who are looking for the physical benefits of THC without the psychoactivity.‍

How to Use Cannabis Suppositories

Using cannabis suppositories is a straightforward process, but it's important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure the best results. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use cannabis suppositories:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly to ensure they are clean and dry.
2. Lie down on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Alternatively, you can squat down and insert the suppository while standing up.
3. Gently insert the suppository into your vagina or rectum. If you are using a vaginal suppository, it should be inserted about two inches into the vagina. If you are using a rectal suppository, it should be inserted about one inch into the rectum.
4. Once the suppository is inserted, lie down and relax for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the suppository to be absorbed into your body.
5. Wash your hands again after use.

It's important to note that cannabis suppositories should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
