ORIGINS + HISTORY
IF IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR QUEEN VICTORIA…
In 2009, Russell Leveque claimed that ‘Queen Victoria was the first woman to use marijuana for PMS’. This, he wrote, ‘occurred a few months after Dr. O’Shaughnessy brought cannabis to England about 1840. It was a new highly efficacious drug so let’s try it. It was prescribed by a Dr. Sir Russel [sic] Reynolds physician to Queen Victoria.’ That ‘a few months’ may make you think there’s a mention in the queen’s diaries or letters, or in some other primary source: there isn’t.
Most people prefer to link the queen to period pains, the treatment of which has a substantial history; possibly Leveque didn’t know the difference. This is where Reynolds comes in, for example, here, ‘Queen Victoria was prescribed cannabis for this reason by her physician J.R. Reynolds’. Reynolds, a physician to the royal household not in 1840 but from 1878 until his death in 1896, did indeed recommend cannabis not only for migraine, epilepsy, depression, and asthma, but also for ‘simple spasmodic dysmenorrhoea’. He claimed in The Lancet, 1890, that cannabis ‘when pure and administered carefully, is one of the most valuable medicines we possess’.
