It’s no secret that the Poosh team’s Slack channel is almost always leaning towards X-rated.
What can we say? It’s our job to question, to learn, and to inquire about the latest in health, tech, mindfulness, wellness, and sex, exploring every—ehem—nook and cranny.
Something we’ve been debating lately is whether or not cannabis—hitting the vape, puffing a pre-roll, or gnashing an edible—cranks up the heat in the bedroom or not.
The divide was pretty 50/50… but not because it didn’t turn people on, per se.
It was because the non-stoner (lol) Pooshies just straight-up, don’t really like weed. It makes them anxious overthinkers. It’s not a chill experience for them. For those that weed agrees with, well, let’s just say it’s a doozy in the bedroom.
While many studies are split and mostly anecdotal, CNN reported that according to their findings, marijuana users have more sex. That study seems to be centered around women, meaning that females experience more of this libido-boosting pleasure than their male counterparts.
IN-TER-EST-ING.
But enough about what others are saying. Here’s what the Poosh team has to share:
Sam Hyatt, VP Ad Sales:
“OMG! Speaking from firsthand experience and as a true stoner myself, lol, I am always stoned at night and therefore usually for sex. I think for the right person, cannabis can just make you much more relaxed and in tune with your body. It also kind of gets me in the mood, and I always have more intense orgasms. All around A+ for me and I highly recommend.”
Nicole Lesmeister, Managing Editor:
“Cannabis makes me so much more present in the moment and in my body. For me that’s an indica or hybrid. For example, I feel like I get a deeper, more resonant yoga practice at home when I do it, music sounds better, cooking gets more creative…so naturally, it makes me feel so much more connected and relaxed in sexual scenarios. Senses are heightened, pain isn’t present, and everything feels more sensual. For some reason, I feel hotter when I’m a little bit high! Lol—I look in the mirror and I’m like, ‘oh hey, who is she?’”
Madeleine Hooper, Brand Manager:
“I’m pretty new to experimenting with cannabis in the bedroom, but after a couple of attempts, I have found a new love for this. I love cannabis gummies and slowly gravitated to enjoying pre-rolls in more recent endeavors. It is ‘the calm before the storm,’ but in the best ways possible. I usually have a really hard time relaxing, and my mind often wanders into places where it completely shouldn’t be while in bed…‘Did I send that email? Did I forget to pay that bill? I can’t forget to do this tomorrow’…the list goes on.
“But with a little help from the ganja gods, I have found a way to be completely relaxed, engaged, and pleased to say the least. My partner doesn’t partake in my little ritual, but he is very supportive and that helps a lot! If you’re like me and have the hardest time shutting off your brain before any intimate time, I would recommend trying a little at a time to ease yourself into the mood and increase intake from there!”
Meredith Michaels, Senior Manager of Ecommerce:
“Love to smoke, hate an edible—EXCEPT when I am having sex. There is something so euphoric about a full body high in the bedroom. I just feel intertwined with my partner.”
…hot.
