Aphrodisiac can be added to a helpful list. As a plant, cannabis’ usages and possible benefits are nearly endless. Pain management to increased productivity/creativity in artistic mediums to treating insomnia that countless individuals live within this permanently anxious world of ours, cannabis is a multi-useful plant for more reasons than one could write a series of books on. Among the plants best qualities that are frequently discussed, from making The Big Bang Theory actually funny to causing a spiritual experience from watching Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos”, is the increase in libido and sexual desires certain strains can invoke.

Far beyond only giving the munchies, cannabis is naturally an enhancer of almost all sensations, most notably the sense of touch and the seductive warmth that an intimate partner can provide. In most red-blooded Americans, this would cause blood to flow more southward and result in arousal, which is convenient because cannabis can act as a vasodilator, meaning that blood flow will naturally increase into certain body parts useful during the act of intercourse. 

And since recreational cannabis legalization is a reality in a quarter of the country, the amount of uniquely and humorously-named strains that have aphrodisiac qualities is almost endless. In a sprawling cannabis marketplace such as Las Vegas, the opportunities to find a strain that focuses on increased sexual desire is quite a memorable time. At the massive Planet 13, Pure Haze and Diamond Dust which is two euphoric Sativa strains that are particularly recommended. 

While at the Nuwu Cannabis Marketplace which calls Paiute Tribal Land its home and therefore has a consumption lounge on property, they’re not only hosting a 420 Valentine’s Day celebrations in the form of excellent deals both on product and at the consumption lounge but have compiled an exhaustive list of their several products that have aphrodisiac qualities, like Cannabiotix’s Strawberry Lemonade or Dixie Elixir’s Synergy Soak 1:1 CBD/THC. 

As for more of a focus particular strains, cannabis-centric sites such as Leafly and Weedmaps have done extensive research on strains that have libido-increasing effects. Listed below are some of the top scorers from consumers in qualities like euphoria-inducing, anxiety-relieving potential and funniest name. The research done on cannabis’ more physical exciting strains is vast and a simple Google search will provide endless results for the more canna-curious to look at, far beyond the examples listed.  

  1. Asian Fantasy
    •     Coming right out of the gate is the strain for anyone desiring either a boost in creativity and/or sexual desire or a marathon viewing of Asa Akira’s best work. Of its qualities, Asian Fantasy’s most noticeable feelings are reported to be happy, energetic and uplifted, three very important feelings for more intimate occasions. However, Leafly reports that this strain is rare and maybe a bit difficult to find in dispensaries, as no dispensaries in Las Vegas currently offer the strain. 
  2. Sour Dream
    •   Even if the name isn’t too appetizing on paper, Sour Dream is actually a hybrid of two common strains that are findable even in prohibited states, those being Blue Dream and Sour Diesel. “This hybrid takes after its Diesel heritage.” writes Leafly “A Sativa-dominant hybrid, Sour Dream is extremely uplifting and fun. Its euphoric effects make this a great social strain.” Its ratings for euphoria, energy and happiness are astronomical and its stress relief qualities are noticeable. 
  3. Danky Doodle
    • On the Indica side of strains is this hilariously-named strain. Indicas usually have qualities that can induce arousal without needing to specialize in libido increasing, so their inclusion on this list isn’t surprising. The euphoria and arousal ratings are among its most recognizable, its potential as either a post-intercourse nightcap or a pre-intercourse unwinding method is one that certainly increases sexual pleasure regardless.
  4. Purple Princess
    • From royal and mistakenly Disney lineage, Purple Princess is thought to be a hybrid of Cinderella 99 and Ice Princess. And it’s convenient that Uplifted and Relaxed are voted at the exact same rating because the strain won’t cause either too much of a couchlock feeling or a hyperactive feeling. Its possibilities to treat depression and increase happiness are equally worth mentioning as well. 
  5.  Atomic Northern Lights
    • For a hybrid experience with possible sexual elements, Atomic Northern Lights is a strain with quite a well-traveled history. Including Afghani Kush and Thai Haze, the Canadian-originated Northern Lights packs quite a punch that helps in more ways than one. More Indica dominant, Atomic Northern Lights will provide a relaxing feeling yet an active and creative euphoria. As for its aphrodisiac qualities, an anonymous user on Leafly said it best when he wrote that “you won’t need Viagra with this awesome strain.”

Across several sites, a common theme is websites recommending an emphasis on Diesel strains for sexual performance and a Granddaddy strain for post-sex relaxation. As Texas is still a prohibitionist state, it’ll be a minute until a similarly free market with hundreds of choices for the consumer will be operational in Texas. Yet even with prohibition’s vice grip strength on Texas, cannabis sites to gain information on what strain you possess are always a vital resource, especially when the subject is sex, arousal and an aphrodisiac.
