Cannabis use for menstrual cramps and other issues associated with PMS goes back thousands of years and is rediscovered by modern medicine. For some women, periods are not a big deal, but for others, the physical and emotional suffering can be unbearable, and it doesn’t really help that the debilitating symptoms only last a couple of days. Luckily, cannabis can provide a natural remedy for PMS-related issues. THC can improve your mood and mask the painful sensations with a pleasurable buzz, CBD can act as a mild sedative and reduce inflammation, and both can lower pain levels and provide relaxation. Moreover, cannabis can take care of headaches if this is how your PMS manifests. Your best shot against PMS is an Indica strain or hybrid, but if you need to stay active and functional, you will have no problems finding a good daytime Sativa to see you through the difficult period.
