Data shows people like cannabis for intimacy

Data shows people like cannabis before intimacy. A survey examining the connection between sex and cannabis shows that most people believe that cannabis can actually enhance their sexual encounters and provide relief from a variety of symptoms. Cannabis has been found to have a sexually stimulating effect and can intensify sexual experiences.

The survey, conducted by cannabis data company Strainprint, found that 70% of respondents said they had used cannabis as a sexual enhancer. And 20% of them said they use cannabis before every sexual encounter, which is a little crazy.

Cannabis seems to be very malleable when it comes to sex. People use it to treat a variety of symptoms, from simple symptoms like increasing desire for sexual encounters to more complex symptoms like relieving menopause symptoms and impotence.
