Marijuana tampons are here!!!

[Texasgal]

Cramps, lower back pain, fatigue. Many women hate the time of the month when their period shows up.

Many flock to painkillers like Midol, Advil, and Tylenol when the pain becomes too severe. But a new remedy has some women curious.

Marijuana tampons. Yes, they apparently exist now.

The company Foria is putting out the tampons and the creators of the product say it helps ease the discomfort, without giving women a psychotropic high.

1. I'm speechless.

2. How 'bout suppositories for aHoles, like Trump? n/t

[Texasgal]

3. LOL!

I wouldn't waste any marijuana on that asshole!

[pinboy3niner]

4. So afterward where do you put your munchies?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

[Texasgal]

6. You did not JUST go there...

[pinboy3niner]

9. I'm a baaaad boy

5. There are also some topical cannabis products which can be used, er, genitally for sex, etc.

Haven't actually, erm, tried any of that.... but I did massage some pot topical someone had into a sore shoulder, once. Didn't notice any huge improvement -or a buzz, for that matter- but I didn't use very much.

[Texasgal]

8. Interesting.

I guess the sales are restricted to certain states?

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Yeah, for sure.

In addition to normal recreational pot sales, Oregon now has limited edible sales as well as extracts and I believe topicals, for recreational users. They've been out there for medical card holders for longer.

35. In my best Takei voice

Oh my

[Warren DeMontague]

7. Texas, man. Bummer. If only it were some sort of a tampon/firearm combination

I'm sure you could get em at the gas station, right?

[Texasgal]

15. This was my FB profile pic for a while:

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Seriously.

You have my condolences.

[Texasgal]

18. Thank you!

Atleast I live in Austin.

[pinboy3niner]

20. You could have used "molon labe" for the text

[niyad]

30. I like that--stealing it!!

[Lancero]

17. I'd imagine it'd be possible to fire the tampon like a gun with the right muscle exercises.

[Warren DeMontague]

19. "This is a .44 kegel, the most powerful kegel in the world..."

[pinboy3niner]

33. And they thought I was going too far. nt

[alittlelark]

10. My aunt turned me on to the benefits in the late 70's....

... still following her advice.

12. Marijuana Tampons - awesome band, saw them at the Troubadour last week.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. DOUBLE BILL WITH VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE

Cleveland, are you READY TO ROCK?!?!??!

[Initech]

23. That's some hardcore shit, yo!!

[niyad]

31. you nearly owed me a keyboard1!

[Warpy]

13. Seems like kind of a waste

Cannabinoids would work a hell of a lot better in the bloodstream and a tampon isn't the best way to get them there.

Now a suppository might be a little different.

[Texasgal]

24. They are expensive

for sure... Not sure I would be willing to spend that much money for that kind of supply, although I think it would nice to atleast try it.

[GoDawgs]

14. My advice: be sure to pick out the stems & seeds first! nt

[pinboy3niner]

22. Just what you need...

Buncha men smoking or eating all your tampons.

[aikoaiko]

25. Women get all the best gear.

[radical noodle]

26. I wonder if it shows up in a drug test?

[Texasgal]

27. Good question..

I would think so.

[radical noodle]

28. I know someone who sure needs them

but has a job where she might be tested.

[niyad]

29. a glass of blackberry brandy is effective in many cases.

[awoke_in_2003]

36. Why not both?

[niyad]

41. there is that--unless one is allergic to marijuana.

[3catwoman3]

32. I am totally...

...surprised. Have they ever been infused with anything else?

[pinboy3niner]

34. Color me disappointed

I was SO waiting for someone to reply "This thread is no good without pics."

[MicaelS]

37. Texasgal, I want to post something so bad...

But it would get removed. So I will just save everyone's time.

[Texasgal]

38. *sigh*

You guys are so silly!

[MicaelS]

40. More like "PREverted". n/t

[bluesbassman]

39. Gives a whole new meaning to "joint".

Seriously though, I hope they work. As a son, brother, and father to two daughters, all of whom suffered from those symptoms, I wouldn't wish it on anyone and any relief available is welcome!
