Weed and Sex, the good and the bad


Weed or Cannabis has been used for millennia as a medicine, but in recent times it has also gained popularity as a recreational substance. Cannabis use has drawn attention in a number of places, including the bedroom. Numerous people assert that consuming cannabis prior to or during intercourse can improve the experience in a number of ways. But do these assertions hold any water? Let's look more closely.


The Science behind Cannabis Sex;


THC and CBD are two cannabinoids found in cannabis that interact with the endocannabinoid system of the body. Many physiological processes, including mood, hunger, and pain, are regulated by this system. Yet, it also affects sexual activity. The regulation of sexual arousal, pleasure, and orgasm is thought to be regulated by the endocannabinoid system, according to studies.

It follows that cannabis use, which can stimulate the endocannabinoid system, may have an effect on sexual function. And in fact, some research points in this direction. For instance, a 2017 study indicated that, in comparison to women who didn't use cannabis, those who did reported higher levels of sexual desire and better overall sexual function.
