Queen Victoria used cannabis regularly for relief

Did Queen Victoria use cannabis? Yes she did – and that’s the real Victoria’s Secret. That’s right!! Queen Victoria is perhaps one of the most interesting stories in the history of cannabis.

What we know about Queen Victoria’s cannabis use

She was known for being a very strict ruler, and stood as a symbol of conservatism for her country. Her private doctor, Sir Russell Reynolds, wrote in 1890 that “when pure and administered carefully, cannabis is one of the most valuable medicines we possess.” Queen Victoria actually used cannabis quite often, to relieve her menstrual cramps. Her doctor would craft tinctures for her from cannabis that he grew, and administered them via drops that would be absorbed sublingualy, or, under the tongue. Queen Victoria isn’t the only woman to have used cannabis to treat menstrual pain, and today we are seeing a resurgence of feminine cannabis products from companies like @foriawellness, to help women everywhere.
