A survey was conducted on the use of Cannabis for menopause and perimenopause symptoms.
A total of 258 biological women (perimenopausal, n = 131; postmenopausal, n = 127) participated in the survey between March 3, 2020, and April 16, 2021, using a voluntary response sample (a group of people who volunteered to take a research survey, based on their interest)
This survey study explored Medical Cannabis use among perimenopausal and postmenopausal women for managing menopause symptoms. It found high medicinal cannabis use for symptom relief, especially for sleep issues and mood/anxiety. The findings suggest that Medicinal Cannabis could be a viable alternative to conventional treatments for menopause-related symptoms, especially where hormonal options are less desirable.
