Ready for Love: 5 Products To Spice Up Your Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is one of those days with a lot of hype. Reservations, flowers, chocolates, and teddy bears occupy our mind space for weeks as we try to create the perfect experience for that special person in our life.

What if there was a way to spice things up a bit and prevent your night from falling flat?

You’ve piqued my interest…keep talking.

Cannabis has a long association with sexual arousal. Although the bulk of the research relies on anecdotal, self-reported evidence, some pretty strong theories support the plant’s effect on love-making.

Humans have something called an endocannabinoid system full of cannabinoid receptors and is believed to be involved in a host of cognitive processes, including sexual arousal. One study found that after orgasm, “the plasma levels of the endocannabinoid 2-AG” significantly increased. If you recognize the term cannabinoid, you’re probably thinking of it in relation to two of the most prominent compounds (cannabinoids) of marijuana: THC and CBD.

As a combatant of inflammation and anxiety, cannabis also has the potential to “loosen you up” or put you in a relaxed state, making closeness, intimacy, and sex a more open and inclusive experience.

What to Know

If you’re a veteran cannabis user, you’re likely aware of the nuances associated with the plant. Different strains, consumption types, and varying other factors can make or break your experience.

If you want to use cannabis in the bedroom, it might be a good idea to try some self-love on your first go-around, just to find out what works best for you. You might find you like smoking a joint more than eating an edible. You might find that a specific strain agrees with you better in the bedroom. Maybe tincture is where it’s at for you. Whatever the case, knowing how your body reacts to strains, products, and consumption is the first step to an unforgettable night.

Without further ado

Now that we’re up to speed on cannabis and its connection to the hanky panky, here are some great products we recommend for your weekend.

Love Drops from 1906

These little tablets are explicitly made for arousal using optimal doses of five herbal aphrodisiacs and sense-enhancing cannabis. It’s the first aphrodisiac designed to be an equal opportunity and works consistently well on all genders. Love was thoughtfully created to target modern life’s everyday obstacles to great sex; it’s not just our bodies that have trouble getting in the mood but also our brains.

Trainwreck

Excitement coupled with joy and a soothing sensation, Trainwreck is one of the most often recommended strains for sexual arousal and satisfaction. The terpinolene, myrcene, and pinene work together to balance relaxed, joyous, and invigorating sensations perfect for the bedroom.

Sour Diesel

The Sour Diesel strain has been around for what seems like forever. That’s because it’s fast-acting, invigorating, and used to help with pain and stress. Less stress and more energy will help you get extra loose in the bedroom.
