Hey!
I’m not gonna lie, I was SUPER anxious about putting out this week’s episode on cannabis and sex. Putting myself out there talking about two “taboo-ish” topics on the internet… and then telling the world how I have sex anxiety? 😬
Guess what happened? 😰
I actually had nothing to be scared of 😮💨
I received so many messages from the community saying how y’all related to my episode so deeply. I was surprised to hear that many of you also found cannabis to help with improving your libido, sex anxiety, and increase the pleasure of your sexual experiences. Receiving these DMs from you was seriously the highlight of my week ❤️ Here’s a sneak peek at what the community had to say about the latest episode 👇🏻

In the episode, I shared that one of my best sexual experiences was whenever I took this 10 mg gummy. Alot of you asked me what the name of this gummy is… and unfortunately, they no longer make this gummy (plus it was only available in Canada). What I can tell you, is that finding the “perfect” cannabis product for your sexual needs, is going to take some trial and error.
Cannabis is not a one-size-fits-all plant.
I wish I could give you a formula to have the best experience ever, but I can’t. We all have different tolerances and preferences, and that’s what makes humans so unique! ✨
However, I’m going to give you some tips to try out!
- Opt for a balanced strain or edible (1:1 ratio of THC to CBD) — I definitely find that CBD helps with creating a more grounded canna experience, and helps with reducing any “anxious-ish” thoughts that could arise from THC.
- Try incorporating the minor cannabinoid CBG — cannabigerol is gaining traction in research right now for it’s anti-inflammatory and potential anti-cancer effects. The best way to describe the feeling of CBG is that it provides me with a more uplifting, more “at peace” feeling, similar to caffeine, but without the jitters. In the episode, I even compared it to a very small microdose of psilocybin.
- Discuss with your partner how you’ll be incorporating cannabis. It’s important to have consensual and transparent conversations with your partner, and hopefully, they will accept and help support your experience!
- Start low and go slow. I can’t emphasize this enough. Oftentimes, we have bad experiences with the plant because we overconsume. You can always increase your dose, but it’s harder to reduce the psychoactive effects.
I highly recommend checking out the episode on YouTube or Spotify to get the full context of this topic, what methods of consumption I use before sex, including science-backed studies on this topic. I got super intimate and vulnerable with y’all on this topic and I hope it can help you, a friend or a partner in one way or another ❤️
As always, you can submit questions, topic requests, or feedback to me at community@thecannabinista.com. I also love when you share your personal canna stories with me! I respond to every email and DM and value your feedback and ideas!
Stay tuned for more next week… and remember to start low and go slow! 🍃
