The US wasn’t even the first to ban it. In 1937 Marijuana Tax act was passed that effectively prohobited it, but a full ban came in 1970. Countries that banned it before 1937 include, but are not limited to: Thailand, Irish free state, Romania, UK, Indonesia, Australia, Lebanon, Sudan, Italy, Panama, Canada, South Africa, Mexico, Jamaica, Greece, Singapore…
The period will eventually push through.
Tho I’d say the main reason all women of the world don’t use it is because birth control has side effects that can be very severe. Think mood swing that leave the person suicidal. A lot of the less severe side effects might still not be worth it depending how bad the period would be. It might be painful, but just for 4-7 days, whereas birth control side effects are 24/7.
