Cannabis suppositories haven’t (yet) made it to the spotlight. Most of the older research, dating back to the 1980s and 1990s, suggested very little bioavailability (i.e. absorption), at least with rectal insertion.

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re already a cannabis fan — but have you ever thought about weed as a tool for increasing your productivity? For some, maybe, but for most, less likely. Well, it’s time for that to change. Last month, we invited 100 women to try the Advanced Focus Tincture, a nurse-crafted 6:1:1 blend of CBD, THCV and CBG, and asked them to share their experiences with us.

5 min read Up until recently, veteran cannabis nurses Elisabeth and Sherri Mack had a serious barrier to helping their patients find relief. No matter how much time they spent with the patient, how carefully they tracked effects, if they couldn’t find high quality, reliable products that fit the patient profile and were readily available, even the most thoughtful treatment plan was incomplete. And it’s not like they’ve been sitting on their hands.

Living with chronic pain sucks, plain and simple. And it’s far from rare. It’s estimated about 27.5 percent of the world’s adult population deals with pain at least once a month, and nearly 10% will suffer from chronic pain, or pain that lasts for longer than 3 months and beyond the normal recovery window. Chronic pain is often connected to disorders such as arthritis and fibromyalgia, but it can also develop after an injury or medical condition — even those that have been treated.

The ‘clam-calming cooter shooter’ nickname for Trusted Canna Nurse’s YoniEase CBD suppositories is more than an amusing alliteration. As the brand’s founder , BSN, RN said last week, “it can be an uncomfortable topic, so there’s value in taking a playful approach.” And indeed, suppositories are probably the least common way to deliver the benefits of cannabis – but that doesn’t mean they can’t be effective.

Despite being touted as a wonder drug, CBD doesn’t work for everyone, and many clinicians are now leaning into other cannabinoids. There’s some speculation that CBDA may work well topically, but since there is so little known, how do we find out for sure? Indeed, more clinical research is needed as most of what we know at this point is from lab and animal studies.

The Cannigma has always taken a data-informed approach to content creation – though up until recently we’ve been primarily leaning on the existing peer-reviewed literature to guide our content. This approach has served us well and contributed to the creation of oodles of informative content that helps you, along with millions of others, to make informed decisions about cannabis.

We know sleep is important. And while research suggests that we’re meant to get at least 7-8 hours a day to function at our best, many around the globe still aren’t getting enough sleep. This deficit of shut eye could be contributing to global health burdens, along with “mistakes in the workplace, lower psychomotor performance, decreased work productivity, and increased risk of car accidents,” according to the authors of one research review.
