When Aunt Flo comes around, there’s no treatment more natural—or more effective—than marijuana. For a long time, pot-smoking women have known of the herb’s power when it comes to PMS.

Now, we have the research to back it up: the endocannabinoid system, the network of neurotransmitters and receptors that regulates everything from fertility to your ability to feel pain.

Since your body already produces its own cannabinoids, the cannabinoids found in weed—THC and CBD—are naturally suited to regulate your physiological and neurological responses.

This means that weed can regulate the moodiness and pain that characterize premenstrual syndrome. Cannabis can also alleviate the agony of endometriosis.
