Did you know that pollen from a Cannabis plant was found on the mummy of Ramesses II, who died in 1213 BC? In fact, it was noted in an Egyptian medical papyrus of herbal knowledge from 1550 BC (Ebers Papyrus) <\/em>that medical cannabis can be effective in treating inflammation.1<\/sup> Not only that, but there is also evidence to suggest that the ancient Egyptians used cannabis for a wide range of medical applications including enema’s and to help cool the uterus.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, although cannabis suppositories might seem like a new thing for some, their use for medicinal purposes actually goes back thousands of years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes THC Suppositories Different?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, what is it about rectal and vaginal THC Suppositories that makes them different from other methods of ingesting cannabis? Before we answer that, let\u2019s define exactly what cannabis suppositories are.

THC and CBD suppositories are round, cone-, or bullet-, shaped doses of medicine that are inserted into the rectum or vagina. Once the suppository is inserted, it melts and releases the healing power of cannabinoids into our bodies. Cannabis suppositories can contain THC or CBD, or a combination of both. They will often use ingredients like coconut oil, avocado oil, or cocoa butter as a base since cannabinoids are fat soluble.

Suppositories are considered to be an effective way for those experiencing severe nausea or vomiting to medicate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Suppositories Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, suppositories go to work quicker than other forms of cannabis consumption. Although more research needs to be done, what we do know is that suppositories allow the THC and CBD to be absorbed quickly into our bodies through rectal or vaginal mucosa.

Since cannabinoids like THC and CBD are fat-soluble, they\u2019re able to be absorbed into our body tissue and spread locally. This can be thought of similar to a topical cream that you apply to the area you are seeking relief. But instead of applying it to your skin, suppositories release the healing power of cannabis internally in a more localized and targeted manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is different from other methods of ingesting cannabis where cannabinoids enter our bloodstream and are circulated throughout our bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of THC & CBD Suppositories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the pelvic region of our bodies are filled with muscles, nerves, and cannabinoid receptors, this can make suppositories effective in treating issues that are close in proximity to our mid-sections and lower bodies..

This is especially true when suppositories contain both THC and CBD. That\u2019s because this allows your body to benefit from what is known as the entourage effect\u2013which basically says that by ingesting THC and CBD together, patients can enjoy a more complete cannabis experience.

Some of the benefits that have been attributed to suppositories containing both THC & CBD include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
