BUSINESS
CANNABLISS
Sex products get infused with cannabis
SEXPLORATIONS | By Anka Radakovich
According to Sensuva, hemp oil enhances the formula of its female arousal oil, making it stronger than the original.
T
he cannabis business is smokin’ hot, and adult businesses are excitedly
entering the quivering, throbbing space of cannabis-infused sex products.
According to Forbes, the cannabis industry made $7.6 billion last year.
From “schlong bongs” to weed lubes, the future of pot-infused sex
products looks sunny. And slightly cloudy.
Sensual Sexsations
At this point, cannabis-infused products are only available in dispensaries in the states
where they are produced, but hemp-infused products can be sold by online retailers and
brick-and-mortar stores everywhere.
Many companies, such as Sensuva, are adding hemp ingredients to the female arousal
oil products they were already producing. Sensuva’s Melissa Ximena Golebiowski says,
“The hemp oil enhances the formula, making it a bit stronger than the original. It
also enhances the taste and scent of the product. If you’ve ever tried ON, it has a very
natural, kind of chai, earthy flavoring to it. Our ON for her hemp-infused arousal oil
provides the same intensity as our ON Original. ... When applied to the clitoris, the oil
creates pulsating and vibrating sensations that heighten awareness, enabling her to have
an orgasm more quickly and intensely.” The blend of essential oils, including cinnamon,
“is what creates the unique sensation,” she says. For more information, visit Sensuva.

Foria, the Pot Industry Standard
A shout out must be given to Foria, a pioneer maker of pot infused oil. I first road
tested Foria cannabis oil in 2015—and my vagina will never forget it. This stuff is fun;
although it didn’t get me high, it got my pussy high—a first. But not the last.
I sprayed the THC-laced coconut oil “pre-lube” on my junk and 20 minutes
late felt nothing. So I forgot about it. But then another 25 minutes later as I
stood in my kitchen, my lady business felt suddenly tingly, my labia majores
felt like they were hangin’ low, and my entire cooch was pulsating and
buzzing. For 45 minutes, there was a trippy pot party in my pants.
After trying it a few more times, I found that it peaked for about 15
minutes, felt sexy for another 45 minutes, and for another hour or so totally
relaxed my junk. When I finally got my chance to try the stuff during sex with
someone other than myself, I found that it heightened my sensitivity, relaxed
the whole area, and enhanced my orgasm. It seemed like the THC had a
massaging effect, like doing an erotic massage, and you are so relaxed that an
orgasm seems effortless. To learn more, go to ForiaPleasure.com.
Not Sexless in Seattle
Mistress Matisse, a professional dominatrix from Seattle who also educates
local kinksters with seminars on BDSM, polyamory and swinging, has
developed a line of cannabis oil lube that she sells directly to dispensaries in
Washington state. One look at the list of dispensaries that carry it proves the
popularity of cannabis-infused sex lube is growing like weeds (VelvetSwing.
com/find-velvet-swing)
Matisse developed the Velvet Swing line along with Seattle sex educator
Chelsea Cebara, who wanted to develop a water-based lube that would work
its magic on the clitoris.
“I promise,” Matisse says to potential female customers, “you will notice a
difference in your orgasms. There will be lots of big O’s.”
Cannabis extract applied directly to the girl in the pink boat heightens
sensuality and increases blood flow, as well as relaxing the muscles in the
area. The cannabis lube, she says, will help women “experience localized
warmth and tingling, as well as longer, stronger orgasms.” We’re sold.
PENIS-SHAPED BONGS POPPED
UP LIKE BONERS IN TOBACCO
AND VARIETY STORES, AND
EDIBLES MADE AN AROUSING
APPEARANCE THIS YEAR.
Sexy Ganja Gifts
This past Valentine’s Day was the first opportunity for makers of pot-themed
products to sell them in a sexual context. Penis-shaped bongs popped up
like boners in tobacco and variety stores, and edibles made an arousing
appearance this year.
High Love, says they are “one of the first edible cannabis aphrodisiacs
on the market. Their beautifully designed chocolates “offer rapid delivery,
kicking in around 15 minutes.” The product, they say, is “delivered through
delicious chocolates engineered to provide consistent, low-dosage, very fast
onset highs. In short, we are on a mission to bring cannabis back the way it
should be, helping you to enhance your lifestyle to its best and return to your
senses.”
High Love contains 5 mg of THC with “intimacy-inducing botanicals”
like muira puama (the “Viagra of the Amazon”), damiana and catuaba (for
increased blood flow), ashwagandha (Indian ginseng for stimulation), and
vanilla. Before foreplay, eat one of these sexy sweets together and let the
magic happen. “Get lustful like never before,” they say.
Fun Future Growth
Since it’s pretty much proven that weed makes sex even more fun, there will
be a blow-up of cannabis-related sexual products entering the market. Lubes,
edibles, vapes, bongs, massage oils and anything cannabis-infused will be
part of people’s “sexual healing”—and one more fun way toward the future
of sex.
