Get in the mood for love with cannabis, a sensual enhancer that may help you connect to your partner, and be present in the moment. With mild, approachable cannabis-based products available in the form of chocolates, tea, tinctures, vape pens, infused oils, lotions, and intimate lubes, it’s easy to try something new this Valentine’s Day and surprise your love with a selection of sensational highs.
Whether you’re looking to connect with a sexy new friend, or rekindle a longtime love affair with your spouse, cannabis can bring a newfound sense of immediacy to lovemaking, igniting passion and playfulness while helping you feel confident and desirable.
In proper doses, the main active ingredient in cannabis, THC, can relieve pain and inflammation, which help with arousal. Herb’s secondary molecule, CBD, can dampen anxiety, also helping the mood. In the below products, cannabis is often blended with other herbs to create formulations that arouse, excite, and satisfy. Combine a few different delivery methods to make the most of an herb-enhanced Valentine’s Day by nibbling on a little bit of chocolate, puffing on a fast-acting vape pen, and indulging your sweetheart with a cannabis-infused massage, creating a synergistic celebration of sensual delight.
Look for a variety of cannabis-infused aphrodisiac products in California dispensaries near you and make this the highest, sexiest Valentine’s Day— no, year—ever!

Described by its inventors as “liquid foreplay,” this popular cannabis-infused personal lubricant from Seattle is now available in California! Designed by women for women, Velvet Swing intends to provide longer, stronger orgasms for increased female satisfaction. Many cannabis lubes are oil-based—making them unsafe to use with latex condoms. Velvet Swing swaps out oil for plant lubes like aloe vera—which is compatible with safe sex. THC works as a vasodilator, increasing blood flow to the intimate areas where this spray is applied. CBD is included to aid relaxation and soothe tension. Apply as directed and expect effects within 15 to 20 minutes.
