Are you ready to meet your new best friend? Are you okay with that friend being a suppository? Yeah ya are.
Cannabis suppositories are one of the most versatile and underappreciated ways to use this plant medicine. Whether made with THC, CBD, or a combination of both, these soothing little doses are designed for localized relief and systemic absorption—without the need to smoke, vape, or ingest anything.
Suppositories can be used vaginally or anally, and their benefits go far beyond sexual health. Depending on the cannabinoids used, they may support:
- Sexual pleasure and tension release
- Period pain and cramping
- Pelvic floor dysfunction and chronic tension
- Menopausal symptoms (vaginal dryness, discomfort)
- Postpartum healing (consult a provider)
- Targeted relief from conditions like endometriosis
- Anal delivery for deep muscle relaxation or GI support
- Sleep support and nervous system regulation (via rectal absorption)
Patients often report feeling the effects of THC when used rectally, but not vaginally. Scientifically, the absorption pathway should not result in psychoactive effects but anecdotal experiences (which are also valid) say otherwise.
A lot of people say THC suppositories, used rectally, give a unique effect that doesn’t feel stoney. Clear-headed, deeply relaxing, and not quite like what you’d get from edibles or smoking. I’ve felt that myself plenty of times, and I’ve heard the same from others. It’s mellow, but still packs a punch in its own way.
Ingredients and Equipment
If you’ve ever made cannabutter or infused oil, you already have the skills to make cannabis suppositories at home. They’re simple, affordable, and customizable to your needs. If you haven’t, they’re super easy to make.
Makes 10–12 suppositories
- 1 cup cocoa butter
- 15 grams decarboxylated cannabis flower (THC, CBD, or CBG)
- Mason jar, crockpot, or Ardent FX
- Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
- Silicone suppository molds (bullet or oval shape work best)
- Measuring cup or small funnel for pouring
Method
- Decarb the Flower
- In an Ardent FX or Mini: Use the A1 setting for THC, C for CBD, or F1 for CBG.
- Oven method: Bake in a covered mason jar at 240°F for 40–45 minutes.
- Infuse the Cocoa Butter
- Crockpot method: Place decarbed flower and cocoa butter in a mason jar. Seal the lid, place the jar in a water bath inside the crockpot, and heat on low for 4–6 hours.
- Ardent FX: Use the Infuse cycle.
- Strain
- Mold and Cool
- Pour the infused cocoa butter into silicone suppository molds.
- Place molds in the fridge or freezer until fully solid.
- Store
- Pop the suppositories out of the molds and store in the fridge or freezer. Label your THC and CBD batches clearly so you always know which one you’re reaching for.
- Use within 3 months for optimal freshness.
Tips From Your Favorite Wake + Bake Lady
- Microdose your way: If you’re new to cannabis suppositories, start with a smaller amount of THC or CBD to see how your body responds.https://amzn.to/4nYtjmm
- Label everything: A cocoa butter bullet looks a lot like a fancy chocolate. Trust me, you don’t want mix-ups.
- Plan your timing: Vaginal use might require a panty liner if you’re leaving the house. Rectal use is best when you have time to relax for 20–30 minutes afterward, especially with a higher dose.
- Keep it clean: Wash molds and hands thoroughly before making or inserting cannabis suppositories.

The Bottom Line
I get it. The idea of cannabis suppositories might sound a little… unconventional at first. Most people’s mental image of cannabis involves a joint, a vape pen, or maybe a plate of brownies, not a cocoa-butter bullet you keep in your fridge. But these deserve a spot in your self-care routine.
If you’ve been curious, take this as your sign. You don’t have to be in constant pain, deal with monthly misery, or let pelvic tension run your life.
Once you’ve tried them, you might wonder how you ever lived without them.
With love,
