Why are women exploring CBD, THC and rare cannabinoids during perimenopause and menopause? There’s an intriguing connection worth understanding.
Whether this chapter is yours or someone you care about’s, here are three takeaways from our guide:
Estrogen and your endocannabinoid system are connected.
Researchers have identified connections between estrogen signaling and the body’s endocannabinoid system—the network involved in sleep, mood, appetite and stress response. That helps explain the scientific interest in cannabinoids during menopause.
Sleep and mood are leading reasons women turn to cannabis.
In a survey of women during perimenopause and postmenopause, sleep and mood concerns were the most commonly reported reasons for cannabis use.
These encouraging reports highlight why cannabinoids are attracting interest as part of menopause wellness routines, with further research helping us understand their potential.
CBD, THC and rare cannabinoids offer different experiences.
Our guide explores CBD for stress relief, CBN for sleep, CBG for sore joints, THCV for energy, focus, and appetite control, as well as THC and other rare cannabinoids. It also looks at questions about hot flashes, brain fog and weight—and what evidence is available.
Cannabinoids don’t replace estrogen or hormone therapy, but understanding the research can help you make more informed choices.
