THE LIFESTYLE ISSUE
SEX AND CANNABIS Here at the Leaf we don’t believe that sex should ever be used to sell Cannabis, but there’s nothing wrong with combining the two for consenting adults. These products are an ideal choice for Valentine’s Day, combining a little romance with the enhancement of Cannabis. We think it’s great to get freaky with weed and have prepared a short guide and products for you to try.
Cannabis and Sexuality
Cannabis Lubricants 101
Cannabis can increase connectivity and provide a relaxing euphoria, as well as physical benefits like increased blood flow, anti-inflammation, and physical relaxation and relief. Combining Cannabis in any form with a romantic scenario can enhance the fun. We support the right to be expressive, for safe sex, and for Cannabis to have its place in the world of sensuality. Whether smoking a joint before, or after, using a sensual massage oil, or trying one of these innovative new products, there’s a whole world to explore when you combine Cannabis and sex. Enjoy, and always practice safe and respectful sex!
Cannabis has found its way into a variety of lubricants. Meant for external or internal use, these products open a new world of uses for Cannabis that can surprise and delight. Here are a couple tips from the companies we’ve talked to who produce the goods.
1. Read the label! Make sure you aren’t allergic to any ingredients. 2. Start lightly. You don’t know how your body is going to react to Cannabis in this form. 3. Condoms and coconut oil don’t mix. If the base ingredient is coconut oil, it can dissolve the condom and compromise its integrity.
