Women & Weed

Let's face it, our world is changing and we are becoming more open to different ways to handle our everyday lives. This includes our monthly changes as women. When it comes to using weed edibles, women may have unique considerations to keep in mind. By following expert advice, women can effectively utilize weed edibles to their advantage. 

Understanding the Dosage

Experts recommend that women start with a low dosage of weed edibles, typically around 2.5-5mg of THC. Due to differences in metabolism and body composition, women may be more sensitive to THC than men. It's crucial to wait at least 2 hours before consuming more to avoid overconsumption. 

Choosing the Right Strain

Consulting with a doctor or cannabis expert can help women select the right strain of weed edibles. Some strains may be more suitable for managing stress and anxiety, while others may be better for pain relief or improving sleep quality. This is important during the different cycles in the month. You may choose a strain during your luteal phase that is different than during your menstrual phase.

Timing is Key

For women looking to use weed edibles for menstrual pain or mood regulation, timing is essential. Consuming edibles 1-2 hours before the onset of symptoms can help maximize the benefits and provide relief when it's needed most. Don't wait until you feel it to feel it!

Pairing with Healthy Foods

Experts suggest pairing weed edibles with healthy fats like avocado or nuts to enhance absorption. Additionally, consuming edibles with a meal can help mitigate any potential digestive issues and prolong the effects of THC. Our favorite combo when pairing healthy foods with edibles is a fruit salad with fruits like mango and kiwi.

Stay Hydrated

Proper hydration is crucial when using weed edibles. Drinking water can help prevent dehydration, reduce the risk of dry mouth, and support overall well-being while enjoying the effects of THC. Try adding lemon and fruit to your water to enhance the hydrating benefits.

Tip: *You should also be hydrated prior to use.*

By following these expert tips, women can make the most of their experience with weed edibles and harness the potential benefits for their health and wellness. Please remember to always consult with an expert prior to use and enjoy responsibly under your state/countries laws.
