Last week, HelloMD hosted an event called Scents & Sensuality in San Francisco at the Phoenix Hotel, where rock legends like Neil Young and Debby Harry stayed in years past.

\n

The evening featured cannabis brands Marley Natural and Garden Society, essential oils producer doTERRA, and psychotherapist and sexuality expert Meriana Dinkova. After mingling and learning more about cannabis and the plant’s various aromas and scents, guests were treated to a short talk from Meriana about how marijuana can make for a more sensual time in the bedroom.

After the educational happy hour, Merina took to the stage to share how she discovered cannabis helped her in the bedroom. For her and many of her clients, marijuana not only relaxes the body and mind, but also allows them to be more present in the moment to truly connect with their partner.
