A Beginner's Guide to Cannabis Suppositories

What They Are and How to Use Them

Cannabis suppositories offer a highly effective, often overlooked method for delivering cannabinoids into the body. Unlike smoking, vaping, or ingesting edibles, suppositories provide a fast and efficient way to administer cannabinoids, particularly for individuals who need higher doses or wish to minimize psychoactive effects. In this guide, we’ll explore what cannabis suppositories are, how to use them, and why they may be a great option for your needs.

What Are Cannabis Suppositories?

Cannabis suppositories are small, bullet-shaped doses of cannabinoid medicine designed for rectal use. Made with a mixture of cannabis extracts like CBD, CBG, and THCA, combined with a carrier oil, suppositories bypass the digestive system, allowing cannabinoids to be absorbed quickly into the bloodstream.

Why Use Suppositories?

Rapid Absorption: The tissues in the rectal area are highly absorbent, enabling cannabinoids to enter the bloodstream quickly, providing faster relief compared to oral ingestion.
Reduced Psychoactive Effects: Because the suppository bypasses the liver, it minimizes the psychoactive effects of THCA, offering therapeutic benefits without causing a 'high.'
Consistent Dosing: Each suppository contains a pre-measured dose, ensuring reliable and consistent results.

When Should You Use Cannabis Suppositories?

Cannabis suppositories are especially helpful in the following scenarios:

For Nausea or Vomiting: If ingesting cannabis is not an option due to nausea or vomiting, suppositories offer an alternative way to introduce cannabinoids into the body.
For High Doses of Cannabinoids: If you require higher doses of cannabinoids to manage more significant conditions, suppositories provide an effective way to absorb larger amounts without overwhelming psychoactive effects.
For Localized Pain Relief: For those managing conditions related to the lower body, suppositories can offer more targeted relief.

How to Use Cannabis Suppositories: Step-by-Step

Using suppositories is straightforward. Here’s how to do it:

Clean the Area: Before administering the suppository, clean the area to ensure proper hygiene and avoid irritation.
Find a Comfortable Position: Many people find that lying down on their side or squatting is the most comfortable position for inserting the suppository.
Insert the Suppository: Gently unpackage the suppository and insert it about one inch into the rectum. Avoid inserting it too deeply to ensure the cannabinoids are absorbed effectively without bypassing your system.
Relax and Absorb: After inserting the suppository, lie down with your knees elevated for up to 30 minutes. This allows the medicine to fully absorb into your system, maximizing its effectiveness.

What If I Need to Use the Bathroom After?

No need to worry! The tissue in the rectum absorbs cannabinoids quickly, so even if you need to use the restroom shortly after administering the suppository, the cannabinoids will still enter your system effectively.

When Are Suppositories Most Effective?

Cannabis suppositories are particularly beneficial for individuals who need to take higher doses of cannabinoids to manage significant conditions. This method offers a reliable way to introduce larger amounts of cannabinoids into the body, making it an ideal option for concentrated relief without the downsides of other consumption methods.
