Sex on weed is best, but you have to do it right. First, clear your mind and get in the moment

Before using cannabis with your partner, it’s important to get into the right chill headspace. No matter the method or strain of cannabis used, the real key to its implementation is the individual’s intention that they bring to the experience. If the mind is open to the infinite potential of the moment, then the benefits of increased sensation can be harnessed, especially in the realm of sexuality, The high of cannabis allows its user to slow down and become more mindful, thus enabling the sexual exchange to become less goal-oriented and more about the present sexploration process.

Mellow mindset? Check. Now onto the basics.

Second, note that strain and dose are key

The two most important things to understand when it comes to sex and weed are strain and dose. I recommend a sativa or hybrid mix for peak intimacy. Why? Sativas create euphoric, happy, energetic feelings.

When ordering never be afraid to speak up and ask for a good sex strain! Some popular ones are Lavender Trainwreck, Cinderella, and Super Lemon Haze.

Also, bear in mind that everyone reacts differently. I’ve been finding that people with ADHD, they prefer the indica strains. Indica is generally associated with mellow, sedated highs—the weed that puts you to sleep. But may work as an aphrodisiac for some.

Method no. 1: Sex on weed using bowls and bubblers

Now onto the methods. Smoking is, of course, a popular method for many, since cannabis is quickly absorbed from the lungs into the bloodstream. If you’re too intimidated to roll your own joint, however, a bowl or bubbler is your new best friend. You simply load (pack the bowl), light, and smoke. Smoking is a pretty immediate high, which can work well in intimate situations. In other words, you’ll feel the euphoric, sexually arousing effects instantly.

Method no. 2: Sex on weed using joints

Smoking a joint requires rolling a joint, which can be tricky. You’ll need papers, a grinder, perhaps a little instruction, and some patience if you’re a first-timer. If you’re aiming to make the experience romantic, you might want to pre-roll the joint before your date, to avoid having to frantically google how to roll a joint in front of your boo.

What it does: Like bowls and bubblers, the high can be pretty instant, which can be good for romance. In a sexual situation, it quickly puts you into a mindful place where you can focus on your partner.

Method no. 3: Sex on weed using edibles

Pot edibles are a popular gag on TV and in movies—you know, Watch out for those brownies! But in real life, taking advantage of edibles, especially in the bedroom, requires some finesse.

First of all, the method offers a different high than smoking, since the cannabis is absorbed through your digestive tract. Edibles can take nearly an hour to kick in. You don’t really know when the cannabis will take effect. They usually create a less euphoric high. In fact, they generally create a stoned, comatose high. Not so sexy.

Cooking edibles also requires knowledge about dosage—and since you might not know how much of a “hit” you’re getting with each bite, the method can be risky. Many have fallen into the trap of initially feeling nothing, eating more, then feeling too much.

What it does: edibles are not the best option for sex, unless you’re experienced with how your body reacts. Stay as far away from the edibles as you can because of dosage. If you’re planning a romantic evening, you don’t want to screw it up. Also, the high can last four to six hours, which can be overwhelming for some.
