About
Join the Polite & Canvas Therapeutics education team as we dive deep into how cannabinoids can be a women's best friend throughout the menstrual cycle.

Women now make up more than 50% of the US population, but issues around women's health are overlooked and understudied in the medical field. Whether it's dealing with commonly under-diagnosed conditions like endometriosis, ADHD, or chronic pain and stress, more and more women are turning to cannabinoid-based products to fill their health and wellness gaps. In fact, according to research conducted by the Brightfield Group and Forbes magazine, women are among the fastest-growing groups of new cannabis users, making up 59% of new users and tending to be younger and heavier consumers than men. Cannabis markets in Washington, Colorado and Michigan already have a majority of women consumers.

As an industry, and being consumers and patients ourselves, we need a better understanding of how cannabinoids can effectively support the myriad of women's needs so we're kicking off Part 1 of our ongoing education series on Women's Health.

For this upcoming webinar, we will be talking to cannabinoid therapist and healthcare educator, Jessica Streufert, RRT, on how cannabinoids can support the many changes our bodies experience throughout the menstrual cycle, from PMS, to pain and fatigue. We'll get to explore rarely discussed topics like differences between how male and female systems metabolize cannabinoids, and how cannabinoids can affect and our hormones.
Agenda
  • Differences between how male & female systems metabolize cannabinoids
  • How to utilize cannabinoids for relief throughout your cycle
