Foria Explore is a cannabis suppository designed to enhance anal intercourse that was made with the LGBT community in mind. The suppository is made with only four ingredients, two of which are cannabis products and the other two being jojoba extract and sunflower lectin. Each suppository contains 60 mg THC and 10 mg CBD. When administered, the product releases the active compounds throughout the pelvis and anal region. \r\n\r\n### Better Anal Sex\r\n\r\nThe product relaxes muscles and eases pain, allowing for easier and more enjoyable anal intercourse. Foria reported benefits from users including: “heightened pleasure”, “deeper penetration”, “pelvic relaxation”, and “diminished discomfort”. The suppository application of the product allows for the calming and relaxing effects of the cannabis without the high. \r\n\r\nThe product was first released on June 9th at SPARC, a non-profit medical cannabis collective in San Fransisco, which will be the exclusive dispensary of the product in until June 26th. SPARC will also host Foria’s Explore Pride celebration on the 23rd of June, in the midst of San Fransisco’s Pride celebrations. Foria is looking to make a name for itself in the LGBT community, where there is a lot of interest in products that ease anal intercourse related pain. \r\n\r\n### A Better Alternative to Poppers\r\n\r\n“Poppers”, a compound of alkyl nitrates, are commonly taken to relax anal muscles to make anal penetration easier. “Poppers” can be found in many forms, but they are most commonly inhaled. Though “poppers” can help ease the process of anal intercourse, they also come with a long list of side effects including dizziness, detachment, disinhibition, fainting, and death in high doses. The common use of a product like “poppers” shows the importance of sexual health awareness. Foria is filling an important niche and providing a natural alternative for a whole community. \r\n\r\n### Foria Relief\r\n\r\nThis is not the first time Foria has filled an underserved niche. Foria Relief, which contains the same levels of THC and CBD as Foria Explore, was designed to ease women’s period pain. Similarly to Explore, Relief promotes muscle relaxation and pain relief without any physco-active properties. Relief, however, is designed to be vaginally inserted. Foria Relief is made with only three ingredients: organic cocoa butter, CO2 distilled THC oil, and CBD isolate. Lisa Rough of Leafly described an extreme level of relief and relaxation from Foria Relief, though she did also simultaneously consume an edible marijuana product. Rough highly recommends Foria Relief for anyone who is suffering from debilitating cramps or pain related to their period. \r\n\r\nForia products are available in both California and Colorado and it stands out as a company that is looking to go where other marijuana companies have not gone before. Foria’s first product was a cannabis oil, mixed with coconut oil, aimed at increasing sexual pleasure for women. They have continued their production into other products like Explore and Relief, which are both related to sexual health. Foria is focused on simple and high quality ingredients and is emphasizing the importance of  the health and wellbeing of their clientele in all aspects of their life. \r\n\r\n###[Ask Foria a Question](https://www.hellomd.com/biz/foria) \r\n\r\nIf you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Yes, it’s true. And while the thought of sticking marijuana where the sun don’t shine may make you blush or giggle, the truth is that rectal marijuana administration is an ideal method for many health conditions including lower back pain, as well as for those who have trouble eating and don’t want to smoke. Here’s what you need to know about rectal cannabis suppositories. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### What Are Cannabis Suppositories & How do They Work?\n\nA suppository is an oval-shaped capsule that's meant to be inserted vaginally or rectally. In the case of rectal cannabis suppositories, the capsules are typically about an inch long and made from a mixture of coconut oil or cocoa butter infused with cannabis.\n\nOnce inserted, the capsule dissolves and is absorbed into the bloodstream through the thin lining of the intestinal wall. Unlike some other forms of medical cannabis, rectal cannabis suppositories are incredibly bioavailable—meaning they're easy for the body to use.\n\nBy comparison, inhaling cannabis is estimated to be 10–25% efficient (a measurement that relates to medicinal effects of the product), and that percentage depends largely on how much is consumed and how frequently a consumer smokes. Likewise, ingesting cannabis in the form of an edible is estimated to be about 20% efficient and the user is likely to experience different effects every time edibles are ingested.\n\nRectal cannabis suppositories, on the other hand, have an efficiency rate of between 50-70% and produce predictable effects every time they’re used. Additionally, rectal cannabis suppositories take only 10–15 minutes to start working and the medical effects can last for between four and eight hours.\n\n### Are Rectal Marijuana Suppositories Right for You? \n\nYou may be thinking, why would I or anyone else choose a rectal cannabis suppository instead of consuming marijuana in a less, shall we say, invasive way? A rectal suppository is actually an ideal way to take medicinal cannabis for chemotherapy patients experiencing extreme nausea who can’t stomach marijuana edibles. Or it may be the best bet for an elderly patient who can’t swallow a pill, or someone headed into surgery who isn’t allowed to ingest anything orally before the procedure. And even people who just don’t feel like inhaled or edible cannabis is working for them might find that rectal marijuana helps ease their symptoms. Because the bioavailability is so high, it really is an efficient consumption method. \n\n### How to Use Cannabis Suppositories\n\nCannabis suppositories are widely available and generally come in two sizes: 2 gm and 1 gm. Once you get your suppositories home, be sure to store them in the refrigerator so they stay firm—this will make insertion easier when the time comes. \n\nThe market leader in cannabis suppositories is Foria. They make two suppositories, Foria Explore and Foria Relief. [Explore is a rectal suppository](https://www.hellomd.com/marijuana-others/foria-explore) formulated to help with pelvic pain and relaxation. [Relief is a vaginal suppository](https://www.hellomd.com/brands/5760c7d0e4599e00070000d7/foria) that helps with menstrual cramps and other kinds of vaginal pain. \n\nWhen you’re ready to use the suppository, just insert a single capsule and wait for the suppository to take effect, which should begin in roughly 10 minutes. If you’re nervous about taking a whole suppository at once, grab a pair of sterilized scissors and cut the suppository in half. This might be the best way to do it your first time, so that you can control your dose and feel more comfortable during insertion.  \n\n### How Will a Cannabis Suppository Make Me Feel? \n\nOnce you’ve inserted the suppository, you'll begin to feel the effects quite quickly. Generally, this begins as a warm feeling that starts in the pelvis and spreads throughout the rest of the body. If you've been experiencing pain or anxiety, the symptoms will likely begin to subside immediately and you can feel the calm, relaxing effects for up to eight hours. \n\nAnother reason people who try cannabis suppositories like them is because they don’t make you feel high. When you smoke or vape cannabis, the compound responsible for making you feel buzzed, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), goes from the lungs to the liver and then to the brain, producing the high. When you eat marijuana edibles, the THC goes through the digestion process, to the liver and then to the brain. But with a suppository, the THC is absorbed right into the body, bypassing the liver-brain connection responsible for the psychoactive effects. \n\n### Rectal Cannabis is an Effective Choice for Many Patients\n\nIf you’re suffering from:\n\n* [Chronic pain](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/598f893156ef1d0031b26cb0/new-research-proves-marijuana-effectively-controls-chronic-pain) \n* [Gastrointestinal\ndisorders](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/59c96bc5e79bb936e12ce02e/marijuana-gut-health-and-the-brain)\n* [Anxiety](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/59c2a07093afe7474831177d/3-popular-questions-about-marijuana-and-anxiety-answered)\n* [Depression](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5a4d282f100a820006562f4b/3-popular-questions-about-marijuana-and-depression-answered)\n* [Eating disorders](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/559581e76132330006000000/medical-matchmaking-cannabis-and-anorexia)\n\nand the way you’ve been consuming cannabis just isn’t cutting it, don’t count out rectal cannabis suppositories. Sure, you might feel awkward at first, and maybe you won’t be telling your mom anytime soon, but it really is the best way for your body to absorb the most of cannabis’s benefits. \n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.
