Red boxes of chocolate and bouquets abound, so perhaps this year you might think to step outside the normal festive heart shaped clichés. Don’t cling to stuffed bears and hallmark cards, reach for the gift that can foster deeper connections between individuals, spice things up when the Valentine’s day becomes Valentine’s evening, or simply infect two entwined lovers with a case of the of the giggles. This year consider cannabis.\n\nWhen the correct product and dose are found, cannabis can cause a profound state of calm and relaxation to wash over any consumer. You may find yourself becoming more still within your body and mind as well as more sensitive to the people around you. In these ways, cannabis can be a powerful catalyst for intimacy, enhanced emotions, and even sexual pleasure. \n\nHere are five fantastic cannabis gifts to take make your special night out, out of this world.\n\n### 1. Cannabis ‘Flower’ Bouquet\n\nLet’s skip the heart shaped boxes and get straight to the nitty gritty. If you are in the Los Angeles area this Valentine’s Day my first suggestion is to place an order with Lowell Farms. [Lowell Farms is offering up handmade bouquets](https://www.lowellsmokes.com/) of wildflowers, eucalyptus and organic cannabis stalks, budding with flowers for $400. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nThe floral arrangement also comes with an ounce of Purple Princess, a carefree, uplifting hybrid. An all around great strain for your intimate evening. Lowell Farms is an all natural organic farm that pledges to give every worker on the farm a living wage. Farms like Lowell are proving that the best flowers on Valentine’s Day are definitely cannabis flowers!\n\n![](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/589b83207a547a0008f2cbd2/embedded_images/589b83257a547a0008f2cbd5/Screen_Shot_2017-02-08_at_12.38.04_PM.png)\nForia Pleasure is the gift of an enhanced sexual experience.\n\n### 2. Foria Pleasure \n\nHere’s the heavy sensual hitter: Foria Pleasure. It doesn’t get more sensual than this. Foria’s Pleasure has been around for a few years now, providing women with enhanced sexual pleasure all over California and Colorado. For some, the concept of using a cannabis lube can seem avant-garde and article’s like Vice’s, [“I Got My ***** Stoned with Weed Lube,”]( https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/i-got-my-pussy-stoned-with-weed-lube-909) show that this still may be a taboo subject for some. \n\nThe reviews are in, however, and Foria Pleasure is becoming very well known for its ability to make, [“orgasms more intense, fuller or easier to access.”] (http://foriapleasure.com/pages/about-us) Foria also asserts, “For others, it can help promote natural lubrication, reduce pain and tension and create the relaxation necessary for sensual experience or restorative rest.” An absolute must have for this Valentine’s Day’s romantic crescendo!\n\nRELATED: [SHOP GREEN: MY HOLIDAY CANNABIS GIFT GUIDE](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5859ca35441200000cfedcc8/shop-green-my-cannabis-holiday-gift-guide)\n\n![](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/589b83207a547a0008f2cbd2/embedded_images/589b83247a547a0008f2cbd4/Screen_Shot_2017-02-08_at_12.39.12_PM.png)\nMoonMan's edibles taste great and are Paleo and gluten free as well.\n\n### 3. MoonMan’s Mistress Peppermint Cookies\n\nThe night should last forever, yet sadly your intimate dinner will come to end. Instead of reaching for a piece of pie, why not begin the evening with Moonman’s Mistress’s Cosmic Cacao Peppermint Cookies? A few days ago I had the pleasure of trying these cookies and two are good for one trip to the moon and one small box was just about right for orbit. As an extra bonus, these cookies are Paleo safe for those astronauts with special dietary needs.\n\nNote: Please use edibles responsibly. Individual tolerances can vary widely, especially for edible cannabis. It is recommended by Moonman’s Mistress that new users divide the cookie into quarters or halves to start. Experienced users can start with one or two whole cookies (10-20mg THC).\n\n![](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/589b83207a547a0008f2cbd2/embedded_images/589b83237a547a0008f2cbd3/Screen_Shot_2017-02-08_at_12.36.24_PM.png)\nMonk Botanicals are beautiful to give as a gift.\n \n### 4. Monk Drinking Botanical Elixirs\n\nIf shooting for the moon seems a bit too ambitious for you or your partner, I would recommend checking out Monk Drinking Botanicals. Their low dose 1:1 cannabis beverage is perfect for easing into experiencing cannabis with your significant other and the package is gift-ready elegant. \n\nEach drink contains 5mg of THC and 5mg of CBD, along with many nutritious ingredients and some memorable flavors. After trying No. 49, Cinnamon Citrus Shrub,  I would describe it as truly unique in the cannabis world. The natural flavors are so distinct and the overall experience was fantastic. \n \n### 5. Hepburn’s Petites\n\nAre you wondering about those giggles I spoke about earlier? For those who simply want the good times to roll, my recommendation is for [Hepburn’s Petites](HMD new biz and prod listing). They are terpene matched hash joints that come in a convenient and I’ll admit, rather cute tin. They come in several varieties. Sava, a premium online cannabis retailer, can next day air you Cherry AK, Sour Diesel, Sour Tangie, and Girl Scout Cookies with a valid cannabis recommendation. Whether you are looking for an uplifiting sativa for inspired connection, or a balanced hybrid for the perfect relaxed setting, these hash joints will keep you and your companion in the Valentine’s spirit.\n\nHappy Valentine’s Day!\n\nIf you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Part 1","slug":"cannabis-for-increased-passion-and-play-part-1","content":"### Increase Your Passion\n\n‘Tis the season for romance, and if you’re looking for a way to make your night even more sexy, there are many ways cannabis can enhance love-making. \n\nSome lovers out there are already daily tokers, and if that’s you, I’ll be sharing sexy tips for both the novice and veteran alike. However, if you’re a total newbie to the world of cannabis, or feel apprehensive about trying it again after a bad trip long ago, let me be the first to say, it’s a brave new world now, and cannabis is not the same thing it was even five years ago. \n\n### Something for Everyone\n\nWith new scientific understandings of how it affects our body and cutting edge technology to make the most of extraction and bioavailability, cannabis is blooming. With so much diversity in strain type (literally thousands to choose from), ways to consume (smoke, vape, eat, or rub it), and types of potential effect, in many ways it’s like talking about many different plants. The good news is, when it comes to cannabis, now there’s something for nearly everyone.\n\nIf  you’ve heard good things about using cannabis for sex and want to try it, consider me your green Cupid, shooting you with my arrow of knowledge this Valentine's’ day. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nYou’re in good hands: I’m a sexuality coach and relaxation expert, and I’ll give you the tools you need to select the best cannabis product to get the job done, whether with a lover or on your own, while sprinkling in some intimacy and sensuality techniques from the world of Tantra Yoga, which will expand both the psychoactive experience of the cannabis and the passion you’re experiencing! \n\n### Cannabis Relaxation\n\nCannabis is good for love because it's good for yoga, listening to music, walks in nature, and anything else you like. Cannabis increases relaxation, which enables us to connect to and feel into our bodies more deeply, which makes sex better as well. It's also important to know that when cannabis doesn’t relax you, it usually means the strain was too high in THC, or too much cannabis was consumed.\n\nIn yoga, we learn that we enjoy and appreciate life more when we’re feeling relaxed. Relaxation of both body and mind is the key to really good living, and to really good sex. Think about the best sexual experiences you've had; I bet it was when you were free of concern, anxiety, and distraction. Think about how extra-good sex feels after a run, or when on vacation. When we’re relaxed, our blood vessels dilate, allowing for greater nerve sensitivity throughout the body. \n\n### Cannabis as Sexual Lubricant\n\nCannabis, at the right strain and dose, encourages mental and physical relaxation. It has been shown to sooth depression and anxiety, while at the same time, decreasing inflammation and pain. \n\nRELATED: [MARIJUANA INCREASES YOUR SEXUAL EXPERIENCE](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/587417bc2975c00008b040b1/marijuana-increases-your-sexual-experience)\n\nI tell my sex coaching clients to think of cannabis as an energetic lubricant, washing away the corrosive armor of tension that we carry, usually unconsciously. To get high and chill out. Many of us know that stress and anxiety are implicated in low sex drive for both genders, and inability to attain orgasm in women and male premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction in guys. Using cannabis to relax is a stand for self-care and a commitment to better sex.\n\nTip: If you’re new to cannabis, explore it in places that feel comfortable and pleasing, either alone or with people you trust and feel good around. There’s no rush to develop a relationship at a fast pace. Just take your time and enjoy the journey. Choose methods of consumption that feel the most natural and exciting to you: vaping, smoking, eating, using tinctures, or rubbing on topicals. My favorite for sex is a low-dose edible that can slowly take effect about a half an hour after I eat it. Chocolates like Kiva give a wonderfully pleasurable body-buzz!\n\n### Relaxation as Foreplay\n\nUsing cannabis to relax is one thing. Using cannabis, alongside various relaxation practices, is quite another. Mindfulness is one such practice. Here you attempt to keep your attention in the present moment instead of being lost in thought. \n\n![](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/5887f2c9d88c9d000847c1d0/embedded_images/5892302b81d687000c7d62a3/Screen_Shot_2017-02-01_at_10.52.57_AM.png)\n[Dee Dusault](https://www.deedussault.com/) is well known for her sexuality teaching which includes the use of cannabis.\n \nMindfulness is a spiritual practice with pragmatic applications. It reduces stress and brings more appreciation, but it also can make time feel slower. When you're right here, right now, with the universe of sensation and emotion (and even noticing thoughts without getting lost in them), you get to savor the passing of time instead of feeling like you're racing against it or a slave to it. \n\nBeing mindful as you nibble that delicious artisanal chocolate edible not only makes you more grateful for the moment, it also makes the moment feel more divine. \n\nCombining mindfulness, cannabis, and sexual intimacy creates a sort of \"entourage effect\" where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Adding other forms of conscious relaxation before getting busy, like taking a hot bath, busting out some yoga, or lighting candles, will make both the high and the loving even more meaningful, sweet, and yummy! \n\nTip: What can you be mindful of, right now as you read? Lift your head for a moment and notice color, shape, sound. Notice your mood, thoughts, feelings. Notice your body, heartbeat, breath. When you're preparing to meet with your lover, take time to relax with a few minutes of mindfulness practice, or other activities that relax you physically and emotionally. The more relaxed you are, the more you'll feel and enjoy the timeless eternity of each passionate moment!\n\n[READ PART 2 OF CANNABIS FOR PASSION & PLAY!](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/58922f0b189869000c9af616/cannabis-for-increased-passion-and-play-part-2)\n\nIf you would like more inspiration, check out my Bay Area Valentines Tantra classes, sponsored by Alchemy Vape Pens by Dark Heart, Kiva Chocolates and [Arnicann topicals!](http://www.goarnicann.com/ ) \n\nFriday night: [“Sexual Awakening Yoga”](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sexy-flex-for-women-tickets-31203488474?utm_source=eb_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=new_event_email&utm_term=viewmyevent_button) class for women, Saturday afternoon: [“Partner Yoga for Love”](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/partner-yoga-for-love-tickets-31489708566) and [“Partner Tantra Yoga and Massage.”](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tantra-yoga-and-massage-tickets-31489747683) \n____________________________________________________________________\n\nDee Dussault helps people find their bliss through relaxation, mindfulness, and sensuality.
