Some Arousing Cannabis Strains that will Spice up Your Love Life

We don’t have to tell you; for as long as anybody has been able to put a joint to their lips, cannabis has been used as a tasty interlude for carnal satisfaction, in many cases getting people riled up for a truly memorable time between the sheets. In fact, it’s the sexual enhancements of cannabis that famously led cannabis activist Jack Herer towards a life devoted to its advocacy. And as cannabis continues to spread throughout the country businesses continue to innovate and market new products that can get people in the mood.

Dating as far back as ancient times, the association between cannabis and sexual arousal has been documented. In ancient India, for instance, Vedic texts dating from 800 BCE refer to its arousing qualities; the Atharva Veda refers to cannabis as one of the earth’s five sacred plants in part for this reason Similarly, traditional African and Chinese medicine also recorded the use of cannabis to enhance sexual experiences and treat various sexual disorders.

Following in the footsteps of these traditions, some cannabis brands have pursued their own spin on the age-old aphrodisiac. The cannabis brand 1906 currently makes “Love Beans for Arousal,” a tin of 20 cannabis chocolates with 5 mg of THC/5 mg of CBD alongside herbal mixture of damiana, ashwaganda, muira puama and catuaba extracts. Its effects, 1906 promises, “works consistently well on all genders.” And of course, there’s the long-standing cannabis brand FORIA, which has been selling CBD-infused herbal tinctures for sexual satisfaction since 2014.

So what’s the reason for the arousal? Well, as anyone who’s ever tried cannabis can attest, the plant can increase tactile sensations and make physical touch more pleasurable. Some people have reported that using cannabis prior to sexual activity heightens their senses, making touch and other sensory experiences more intense and enjoyable. Dr. Leah Millheiser of Stanford Medicine also reported to Yahoo Life a fact that’s been known for decades about cannabis: “Cannabis can increase blood flow to the genitals, resulting in increased lubrication, sensation and enhanced orgasmic intensity.”

While there’s no shortage of strains that could conceivably do the trick if you’re looking to be aroused, there’s a few within our strain library that stand out.
