Cannabis and women: a history of activism, reproduction and women´s health

Would you like to know the relationship between the cannabis plant and women, as well as its uses and impact on health and the economy?


The cannabis plant produces molecules called cannabinoids, which are responsible for making us feel euphoric or relieved when we consume them. To the surprise of some, our body can produce endogenous cannabinoids due to the presence of the endocannabinoid system.


When endocannabinoids are deregulated within women, several pathologies appear, such as painful menstrual syndrome, ovarian, breast, and cervical cancer, among other disorders. To counteract this effect, cannabinoids from the plant can be ingested and its analgesic and calming benefits can be felt instantly.


But the impact of cannabis on women is not limited exclusively to its pain-relieving effects. This industry has revolutionized the way many women live, think and produce their economic livelihood. 


For this and more, Pharmacology University invites you to acquire a broad knowledge about the functioning of the endocannabinoid system of women and the importance of it for her and also learn about the therapeutic benefits of the use of medicinal cannabinoids such as CBD.
