Does every woman have a period?

No, not every woman has a menstrual cycle. Most healthy adult cis-women will menstruate, however women who have reached menopause will no longer have a menstrual cycle, nor will women who have had a hysterectomy - basically women who are no longer fertile. Women who use hormonal birth control don't have a menstrual cycle, as the purpose of hormonal birth control is to suppress the menstrual cycle so they don't ovulate - the bleeding women get is a withdrawal bleed, it mimics menstruation but isn't the same as menstruation. Many women were born biologically male, thus regardless of changes to their gender or genital reassignment surgery to change their sex, they are not capable of ovulation and thus don't have a menstrual cycle - although interestingly hormones given to many transsexual women can create symptoms similar to that of the menstrual cycle.

What does the Moon have to do about the Menstrual Cycle?

The moon is believed to have an influence on women's menstrual cycles, not least of all because the average menstrual cycle syncs up with the phases of the moon. Women still use the moon to help regulate their menstrual cycles through using lunaception (sleeping in the dark all except for three days when you sleep in the light of the moon, which is when you'd want to ovulate - or artificial light if you want to try for a different cycle pattern). This is also why all the artificial light via computer screens and lighting in the home is believed to contribute to women's cycle problems.

Does cannabis affect a woman's menstrual cycle?

Cannabis affects women in the part of the brain that controls hormone release. It is by these hormones that the menstrual cycle is controlled. The concept is that females who smoke or use cannabis regularly cause their hormones to become depressed also producing a raised in testosterone level and therefore experience irregularity in their menstrual cycle. Even though this effect may be reversible, it may take several months of no marijuana use before the menstrual cycles become normal again.
