Understanding Arousal
Cannabis and intimacy have a long history together. Certain strains enhance body awareness, reduce inhibitions, and intensify physical sensations—making them natural companions for romantic experiences. The key is finding strains that relax without sedating and heighten sensation without anxiety. Strains with Limonene (mood) and Linalool (relaxation) tend to work well. Many people find cannabis helps them be more present during intimate moments, reducing mental chatter and enhancing physical connection.
