Yes, many women suffering from mood swings as well as other major physiologic manifestations of menopause have benefited from cannabis.  Besides the vape-pen and micro-dosed edible, I would like to offer the use of tincture drops in hot calming chamomile tea.  The tea alone should help calm & soothe.  I also encourage combining the use of vape-pens before a nice walk and turning it into a \"mindful walk.\"  Every so often, you can indulge yourself with cann infused epsom bath salts for soaking (from MakingYouBetterBrands).  I encourage all my pts whether in this practice or my other practices to exercise as much as they are able as studies show this is very helpful w/ mood & physical manifestations of menopause.   Also try to add mindfulness training as well;  sites like Mindful.org can help you achieve some level of peace & harmony.
