One by one, states around the US are dropping regulations banning the possession and use of marijuana – which means more people than every have access to the sticky icky.

We all know it’s fun to watch movies and eat and lay in the park at sunset when little stoned – but did you know SEX can be made even better with a little weed-soaked buzz? It’s true. Via Inside Hook:

“One of the biggest barriers to enjoying an intimate moment with either a partner or even yourself is truly being present in that moment.” says Michelle Mendoza, cannabis connoisseur and Head Buyer at Los Angeles’ Sweet Flower. “We are talking no distractions, a complete stripping down of the senses and total relaxation of the mind, body and spirit. Cannabis has the ability to induce deep relaxation of the mind and body while also stimulating those creative thoughts and energies that lead to a heightened sense of pleasure for many.” 

Cannabis is also a vasodilator, meaning it increases blood flow and can make the already-sensitive parts of our bodies even more sensitive. A 2019 study examining the relationship between marijuana and sex found that 34 percent of the 373 women surveyed who used marijuana before a sexual encounter reported an increase in “sex drive, improvement in orgasm, decrease in pain, but no change in lubrication.” In 2017, yet another study analyzing the relationship between weed and sex procured similar results, finding “a positive association between marijuana use and sexual frequency in men and women across all demographic groups.” 

So – that said… if ya live in CA, OR, NJ, or another state where weed is legal, we hope you enjoy a sexy stoned hook up this weekend – we know many OBC members are 420-friendly!
