They sell their products Relief and Explore in both California and Colorado. They are not available in Michigan. Suppositories for cannabis are relatively new to the market and often not seen as the norm. In terms of recipes, you would need to google that I guess! The nice thing about a suppository is that even with higher levels of THC it does not create a head high, rather body relaxation, especially (for me and anecdotally others...) for the low back and stomach region, where cramping for women often occurs. \n\nI am not a doctor and this post represents my opinion and research only.

I have spoken with many people about cannabis and how it helps with the urinary symptoms associated with prostate cancer, interstitial cystitis, prostate hypertrophy, and other symptoms. It seems to help relax bladder and other micturition muscules and many people report that they have less of an issue with urgency and frequency of urination. Often times people who were awakening mutliple times per night to urinate are now able to sleep through the night with many fewer sleep interruptions. It also helps women with these same issues.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11486-markdown","title":"Does Capsule Coop carry suppositories?","slug":"does-capsule-coop-carry-suppositories","content":"\"I am looking to try a suppository, but have been having trouble finding them.\"\n_____________________\nAs a matter of fact, we do carry suppositories. We have recently introduced a line of high-THC suppositories in the following doses: 50mg THC/5mg CBD, 100mg THC/10mg CBD, and 200mg THC/20mg CBD. We are currently developing a 1:1 ratio of CBD/THC especially geared towards relieving menstrual cramps and abdominal pain. Our suppositories are made with organic cocoa butter and our highest quality tested cannabis oil. We ship our suppositories overnight everywhere in California; you can order them from our website at www.capsulecoop.org.\n\nartemiscrow","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11392-markdown","title":"How many suppositories should I use weekly?","slug":"how-many-suppositories-should-i-use-weekly","content":"\n_____________________\nCannabis is an extremely safe herb and has never caused an overdose death. You can increase the dose without any fear of hurting your mother. If her pain or other symptoms are not being adequately managed it would be okay to increase the dose slowly and observe for improvement. You may also try sublingual tinctures, inhaled cannabis, edibles or topicals. CBD and THC are both helpful and should be ingested in a whole plant preparation that contains other cannabinoids, terpenes and compounds that will act to synergystically increase the effectiveness of the treatment.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11315-markdown","title":"Can you use the vaginal suppository while menstruating?","slug":"can-you-use-the-vaginal-suppository-while-menstruating","content":"\"Does it dissolve quickly enough so it isn't flushed out by menstrual flow? \"\n_____________________\nUsing a vaginal suppository while menstruating should not present a problem but it would be ideal to use it the evening before you expect your menses to arrive. Using the suppository a little bit ahead of time should stop the inflammatory cells that create painful periods. It is so much nicer to use the suppository, have a nice relaxing evening and start your menses the next day with reduced pain. Yoga may be helpful also.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nYes.  Absolutely!  The Foria Relief suppository takes about 10-15 minutes to melt and for the medicine to absorb, so if you use tampons with your menstruation, it is better to wait at least 15 minutes after inserting the suppository before you insert a tampon.   It would be a shame if the tampon absorbed the medicine!  :-)  It is also a good idea to lay down while the suppository melts and absorbs.\n\nkarin","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11274-markdown","title":"Why would I use a vaginal suppository?","slug":"why-would-i-use-a-vaginal-suppository","content":"\n_____________________\nHow can one guage a vaginal or rectal suppository to avoid or minimize psychoactive effects of THC althewhile benefitting from pain relief (or erotic enhancement?) from THC?\n\nrobertburnsob\n_____________________\nAny condition that gives you pelvic pain should respond well the Foria suppositories, this includes painful periods, endometriosis, pelvic cancers, painful sex, pelvic surgeries, ovarian cysts as well as other conditions of inflammation and pain. I usually recommend that the woman put a Foria suppository in her vagina the night before she expects her menses to arrive to stop pelvic pain from a period. I hope this explanation helps. CBD cannabis is the greatest for stopping inflammatory disease and making pain a problem of the past.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11266-markdown","title":"Why use an anal suppository?","slug":"why-use-an-anal-suppository","content":"\"Instead of a less invasive method, such as smoking or a tincture?\"\n_____________________\nThere are many advantages to the rectal administration of cannabis not afforded by other routes. Medicine may still be administered even if the oral route is impaired (e.g., due to vomiting, an injured jaw or throat, or gastrointestinal difficulties) or disallowed due to the oral intake restrictions that are frequently required both before and after surgery. Avoiding the gastrointestinal tract also prevents first-pass metabolism by the stomach and liver, which break down many different molecules into their constituent parts (including Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, otherwise known as THC), and allows the active constituents to reach the blood in much higher concentrations.\n\nIn the case of THC, the liver transforms around half of what is ingested into the significantly more psychoactive metabolite 11-Hydroxy-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol. While not harmful in and of itself and potentially of therapeutic benefit, this molecule causes much more intense cognitive effects than THC. Rectal administration not only avoids these effects, but also allows a much greater proportion of THC to eventually reach the blood stream. Rectal administration also allows for medicine to exert effects over localized ailments (e.g., hemorrhoidal tissue, inflammation of the rectum, or tumors in the rectal cavity). This form of use also has a much faster uptake than oral administration (around 10 minutes, on average) and leads to more consistent blood concentrations of the active constituents. \n\nBackdoor Medicine: How Marijuana Suppositories Can Save Lives\n\"You want me to put that where?!\"\nBy Nicholas Fraleigh / Cannabis Digest March 12, 2015\n\ndrpinto\n_____________________\nThank you for your question.   There are many benefits to using an anal suppository and when you have tried it, you might discover that it is not so invasive after all.   \n\nThe bioavailability of cannabis with rectal use lies at over 60%, inhalation about 30% and oral about 20%.   That means that more of the medicine can have an active effect on the body when used this way.  Moreover, cannabis is processed differently when used rectally and most people do not experience a psychoactive high and can benefit from a higher THC content than otherwise, especially if a psychoactive high is not desired. \n\nPeople use our suppositories rectally for many reasons:  low back pain, sciatica, overall body relaxation and well-being, head aches, sleeping and more. \n\nAnother great use for especially Foria Explore is for anal play where the local effects of pain relief, pleasurable tactile enhancement and relaxation play a large role.  \n\nIn conclusion, putting cannabis in your butt can be very beneficial!  :-)\n\nkarin","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11243-markdown","title":"How long does the effect last?","slug":"how-long-does-the-effect-last","content":"\"If I use the Foria Explore, how often do I need to put in a suppository to get lower back pain relief? Also, how many do you use?\"\n_____________________\nHi,\n\nThank you for your inquiry! \nPlant medicine affects everyone differently.    Foria Explore and Foria Relief users are reporting anywhere from 4-24 hours of pain relief.   One suppository is one dose, so I recommend starting with that and up your dose if necessary.  Please be mindful that one suppository has 60mg of THC and 10 of CBD and although most people do not experience any psychoactive effect, more than one dose at a time can be a lot of cannabis for some.  Go slow and see what works best for you.\n\nkarin","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11241-markdown","title":"I have read that THC (RSO) is not absorbed when using it in a suppository.

My husband has brain cancer and I read two articles by Dr. Allan Frankel, MD who states it does not work.

Since there are 3 drainage systems in the rectum, the Superior veins drain towards the liver and the cannabis is metabolized and the Middle and Inferior veins drain directly into the venous system and avoid the \"first pass metabolism\" of the liver. Please re-read Dr. Frankel article as he says the same thing. A very good article from NIDA that describes this also is here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2689518/   on item 2.1.4 for rectal absorbtion as well as other methods of administration.\n\nAs for RSO specifically, I cannot comment since I have not read anything directly comparing that to other types of cannabis formulations. However given that it a full spectrum formulation with  THC levels at about 50-60% and CBD at about 10-15%, I would think there would be absorption if given rectally.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":12,"numPages":3,"currentPage":2,"id":5799,"name":"Suppository","slug":"suppository","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
