From Relaxation to Passion: The Best Strains for a Romantic Night
Love is in the air? Or is it cannabis? Even better: Both.
Cannabis is gaining popularity as a natural way to enhance intimacy, relaxation, and passion. Whether you’re looking to boost libido, heighten sensitivity, or ease anxiety before a romantic encounter: the right strain can make all the difference. At The Novel Tree in Bellevue & Bremerton, we’ve curated a list of the best cannabis strains to set the mood and elevate your romantic experiences.
Do Strains Really Matter?
While experts debate the impact of strains on sexual pleasure, many believe that terpenes—the aromatic compounds in cannabis—play a key role in how cannabis affects the body. The entourage effect can help certain strains to enhance arousal, relaxation, and sensitivity to touch, making them ideal for intimacy. Learn more about the entourage effect here.
