Dr. Streicher's Inside Information-Cannabis and Menopause

27% of menopausal women report that they used some form of cannabis (also known as marijuana, pot, weed) to alleviate hot flashes, insomnia, vaginal dryness, and sexual symptoms. I am conducting a survey to learn more about the use of cannabis to relieve symptoms of menopause. This survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous.

At the end of the survey, you can enter to win a copy of Hot Flash Hell and a mug. Your e-mail will not be used for any other purpose and will not be tied to your survey.
