FAQ

 

How does cannabis help with menopausal symptoms?

Peri-menopause and menopause can give you hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood changes and irritability, low libido, and weight gain (sounds awesome, right?).  THC can mimic Anandamide, an endocannabinoid that helps regulate body temperature, pain, pleasure and sleep. While most hot flashes are best treated with HRT (hormone replacement therapy), the most common triggers can be treated with cannabinoids. High stress and anxiety will often produce hot flashes, and low dose cannabis significantly reduces these symptoms.

 

Are there any medical studies to prove effectiveness?

Since cannabis has been prohibited for many years, few peer-reviewed studies exist, but this is quickly changing.  A Harvard-led survey, published in the journal Menopause, looked at patterns of cannabis use in 131 women in perimenopause, as well as 127 women who had passed through menopause. Nearly 79% endorsed it to alleviate menopause-related symptoms. Of those, 67% said cannabis helps with sleep disturbance, while 46% reported it helps improve mood and anxiety.

Is THC legal?

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized .3% of hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly known as Delta-9 THC. Many states have legalized marijuana, but our products are produced from hemp, making it legal in almost every state. Please check with your local and state government for specific statutes you may have in place regarding hemp-derived cannabinoids as these change often.

Meet our founder, Michelle Courtright

Jane is an intensely personal project for me. 

In 2017 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and relied on cannabis to help with pain and nausea. I’ve continued to use daily to help with creativity and relaxation. 

I’m currently in perimenopause, and use Jane to mitigate hot flashes, help me sleep better and have a better sexual experience.

Much love,

Michelle
