Mornin you lovely people
I know a lot of you like to keep up with cannabis health issues, so here's a strange one.
Doctor Claims Smoking Cannabis 'Dries Out Your Vagina
The drug can impact on levels of female lubrication
FEELING DRY: A doctor has confirmed that smoking weed can dry out the vagina
CANNABIS IS the most widely-used illegal drug in the UK and the side effects - including paranoia, anxiety, 'the munchies' and lack of motivation - are pretty well known.
One side effect to the drug that is not commonly discussed is the loss of female genital lubrication - dubbed 'cotton vagina' in urban dictionaries and online forums.
There has been very little expert opinion on the urban myth that smoking weed can dry out the vagina - up until now, the
The Daily Mirror has reported.
In a recent interview with
Vice magazine, Dr Julie Holland, author of
Moody B*****s: The Truth About the Drugs You're Taking, the Sleep You're Missing, the Sex You're Not Having and What's Really Making You Crazy, was asked about the reported side effect.
When asked whether vaginal dryness was linked to marijuana use, just like dry mouth, Dr Holland said: "Exactly like dry mouth. It's the same thing. It's the drying of the mucus membranes.
"Now not all pot is going to give you dry mouth, but if you have had a strain that is giving you dry mouth, it will also make you more dry [down there]."
NOT A MYTH: Urban Dictionary's definition of 'cotton vagina'
But other factors can have more impact on levels of female lubrication, the medical expert said.
"In general the thing that makes women dry is the pill. Because there's all this different mucus that happens throughout your cervical cycle.
"As Mother Nature designs it, when you're fertile, you're wet. But if you're on the pill, you don't ovulate; you don't get that mid-cycle wetness."
