What you will learn in this post:
Men use cannabis just a bit more than women, though, for a long time, there weren’t many products made specifically for ladies and the physical and emotional ailments we experience. Now that’s quickly changing.
Women who’ve found success treating their medical issues with cannabis decided to share their achievements with the rest of the world. As a result, many products created by female-led teams focus on the feminine experience.
In this post, we’ll highlight five distinct brands and some of their female cannabis products to help us ladies improve our daily lives. Many women also find growing cannabis to be its own therapy. If you're interested in growing your own bud, check out some of our articles on growing cannabis at home.
Whoopi & Maya
We all know EGOT winner Whoopi Goldberg, but you may not know she’s also a fervent cannabis advocate, patient, and ganjapreneur. She’s teamed up with Maya Elisabeth, founder of the all-female collective Om Edibles, to create Whoopi & Maya, a brand that creates products exclusively by and for women.
Their first line addresses every step of a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle. Let’s check out a few of these female cannabis products.
“Soak” ($15) is a cannabis-infused Epsom salt made for warm, relaxing baths. Epsom salt is made of magnesium and sulfate, which the body absorbs quickly through the colon, making it a perfect cannabis delivery system. Use this for fast relief from aches, pains, and cramps. Soak salts come in lavender, amber moon, and fragrance-free.
Back pain can get real during your period. Their “Rub” ($25) provides support for that pain and uterine cramps by combining cannabis, a natural painkiller, with other analgesic herbs like Cramp Bark, White Willow Bark, Chamomile, and St. John’s Wort. Apply this salve all over your lower back or abdominal region.
Foria
Foria received a lot of press when they released their Relief Suppositories, aka "weed tampons." Suppositories have long been a fast and effective medicinal delivery method. The brand recognized that women suffering from serious menstrual cramps and lower back pain could benefit from infused tampons. They are some of the more unique female cannabis products out there; each suppository contains 100mg of CBD and is available in packs of eight for $50.

Kush Creams
Kush Creams is an award-winning brand focusing on topical cannabis applications. Infusing emu oil, known for its striking ability to penetrate the skin’s top layer, with weed deeply, the company has created a line of unisex and female cannabis products that deliver fast, thorough relief to those who need it most.
One of the best parts about cannabis (and there are so many) is its anti-inflammatory properties. Kush Creams harnessed this knowledge to create an aloe-based eye cream/face moisturizer ($45) infused with CBD intended to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and help prevent acne outbreaks.
For medical cannabis patients going through chemotherapy, Kush Creams has expanded its line to include Chemotherapy "Head Trip” Shampoo and "Head Hope" Conditioner (both $18) that provide scalp relief and promote hair growth. But it’s not just for chemo patients. A product reviewer, whose hair was falling from stress, said the shampoo helped her hair grow back healthy and strong.
There are also non-cannabis options available for shipping worldwide!
Empower Cannacare and Bodycare
Empower has been a staple in Oregon since 2013, when Founder Trista Okel began selling her perfected recipe in Empowers' line of infused products. However, Empowers’ origin story goes back to 2004 when Trista began crafting her unique blend of cannabinoids, lavender, bergamot, and jojoba oil to help her mom manage pain.
Empower Cannacare is now headquartered in Arizona and available to cannabis consumers at dispensaries across the state. Their products include a THCA/CBD Topical roll-on Oil Blend, THCA/CBD Soaking Salts, THCA/CBD Lotion, and THC-infused 4Play Sensual Oil.
Humboldt Apothecary
A women-founded company, the team at Humboldt Apothecary has over 35 years of experience as herbalists. Their carefully crafted Love Potion No. 7 is intended to be used as a tincture under the tongue or as a personal lubricant to promote a positive mood and healthy libido. The Love Potion No. 7 tincture is infused with roughly 500mg of THC and made with Coconut MCT Oil, Damiana, Cinnamon, Kava, Cardamom, Roasted Cacaoo Nibs, Vanilla Bean, Vitamin E, and Stevia.
As herbalists, their company also offers a wide range of cannabis and herbal-infused tinctures, either with a 3:1 ratio of CBD to THC (Calm, Blues Away, and Inflammation Soother), 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC (Brain Tonic), 250mg of THC (Deep Sleep), or 500mg of THC (Breathe and Drinking Bitters).
Other products from Humboldt Apothecary include terpene-rich tinctures, topicals, and the Sweet Jane line. Their terpene-rich tinctures come in THC (Rest), 3:1 (Relax CBD), and 1:1 (Uplift CBD). Humboldt Apothecary also offers two 1:1 topicals, a Juniper Balm and a Wintergreen Stick, both of which have 75mg of CBD and THC each. Their Sweet Jane line includes a variety of CBD to THC-ratio tinctures, including 1:1, 4:1, 8:1, and 20:1.
