Ladies no matter what anyone tells us, we all know being a woman is hard. We have the media influencing us every single day about different make ups to try, all these clothing styles to choose from, hair styles that are trending this year, weight loss secrets, detox teas to try and shapers to make us look our "absolute best". This is the reality of the world we live in today. Actually this has been our reality for a long, long time but we all knew that. Now another less trendy truth of our lives that we have to deal with monthly, is pre menstrual symptoms (PMS). We all know when we're about to get a visit from Aunt Flo. Whether it's the irritability that gives it away, the cramping, the headaches, or the extremely high emotions, we can all kinda sense when it's about to arrive, without even looking at our period tracker app. It's draining most days, I get it but let me let you in on a little secret, cannabis may be able to help with that. Bare with me ladies. I'm about to throw some science your way. Cannabis has what you call cannabinoids in it. Research shows the main psychoactive cannabinoid present in cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol which is THC. THC works as a muscle relaxant which could help with uterus cramping. I know cramping varies from lady to lady and for some, it can be very, very painful. Athena can help you feel more in control of your symptoms relating to PMS and help you find relief. Try our sativa treats for mood boosting properties, our indica treats for pain relief or our hybrid treats to get the best of both worlds. My favorite treat from Athena around that time of the month is the dark cocoa, espresso, cinnamon roll brownie 'venom og' 525 Mg, hybrid. Now tell me that doesn't sound like a dream when you're getting that chocolate craving at 12 am. This treat could help relieve cramping and because it's an evenly balanced hybrid it can help you get your beauty sleep, to wake up and do it all over again.
