“All the single ladies,
All the single ladies,
Put your hands up.”
-Beyonce

In an era of self love and empowerment, the traditional concept of Valentine’s Day seems pretty archaic. So as the holiday looms ahead, singles should echo Queen Bae’s celebratory anthem and toast to the pleasures of solitude. Whether you are pairing up with friends or have the calendar date circled for some serious self-care time, here are some products to get you started.

Queen Green by Kushed Candles – CC BY

Relaxing aromatherapy

Set the stage for your romantic tryst with a QueenGreen candle or two. Despite its name, this member of the Kushed Candles lineup is actually rather sweet with enough musky undertones to prevent it from being overbearing. The candle comes in a wide range of sizes, including some 6 oz gold travel tins — in case you’re hitting the road this Valentine’s day.

Cannabis Bouquet by Lowell Smokes – CC BY

A bouquet they’ll never forget

Send some green flowers this year with Lowell Farms’ cannabis bouquet. The arrangement features about an ounce worth of marijuana for a cool $400. Lowell Farms will only deliver within Los Angeles, but you can find out if they ship to a California dispensary near you!

A cannabis-infused dinner

Want to skip the busy restaurants where someone’s proposing every few minutes? Enjoy a nice night in with a cannabis-infused meal. “The Easy Cannabis Cookbook” by Cheri Sicard will walk you through the creation of sweet and savory edibles. Control the dose as you see fit, for a jovial culinary experience.

Some decadent chocolates

What’s Valentine’s Day without chocolate? Satori makes delicious milk and dark chocolate bars that are so easy to eat, you might forget that each square is 10 mg of THC (don’t forget that, please).

Awaken by Foria Wellness – CC BY

A sensual lubricant you’ll use past February

Foria’s Awaken lubricant is not only a hot cannabis product, it’s knocked some regular lubricants off some nightstands. It’s oil-based so it doesn’t play well with latex and should be used with silicone toys. Awaken only contains CBD, so it can be enjoyed by all, but its THC sister, Pleasure, is only available in California, Colorado, and Canada.

Cooking a meal for your partner is arguably one of the most thoughtful and romantic things you can do for them. It definitely beats going out to a restaurant on Valentine’s Day, with the crowds, the lines, and the Uber surge-pricing.

Instead, you could prepare a romantic infused dinner. Cannabis has been hitting new strides in many industries and the culinary one is no exception. The plant’s growing prevalence has encouraged plenty of gourmet chefs to experiment with ways to expand their menus.

By getting dosage just right and pairing the certain strains with the right flavors, they’ve introduced many people to a culinary experience that connects them to the food and to each other. “Consuming cannabis and dining are a perfect marriage to me. It’s a new way to engage the possibilities of alternative medicine and to engage with friends [or loved ones!],” Chef Andrea Drummer tells Vogue. Drummer says that pairing foods with certain strains can really enhance its flavors, while its inevitable effects would make participants more open and free. Even sexologists like Nick Karras believe, “dinner is the most powerful form of foreplay.”

If you’re in a cannabis-friendly relationship, why not try cooking a romantic infused dinner for your loved one? Not only can you prepare a dish that will certainly please your taste buds, but you can also forge the opportunity to engage and connect with your partner in ways that you haven’t before (or at least in a long time).

There are plenty of ways to have an infused dinner, but the key is to know what you and your partner can handle. Drummer says that a “basic to mild” dose for the average person is somewhere between 10 to 25 mg. “Whether you’re using an infused oil, a butter, or tinctures, understand your product—where it comes from, the levels of THC, and how to properly dose the food. You want your friends [or loved ones] to have a positive experience,” she says.

One of the easiest ways to incorporate cannabis into your cooking is by using cannabis-infused butter or cooking oils, the recipes of which are plentiful with a Google search. For starters, you could try this Seared Scallops with Fennel Slaw, which calls for a drizzle of infused olive oil. The main course doesn’t have to be at all complicated, like a classic Pad Thai dish, made by Chef Peabody. Finally, dessert can be as sweet as this salted caramel pretzel bark. Get creative too: add some essential oils to add different flavors and aromas.

If you’re a beginner, we recommend choosing one dish to infuse for starters. For some, having an infused appetizer makes for a perfectly elevated experience for the rest of the meal. It all depends on the individual, so remember to always start out small. Once you get your proper dosage figured out, the possibilities are quite limitless when it comes to cannabis-infused cooking! And soon, you and your partner will share a meal unlike any other.

Whether you are single or taken this holiday, Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to explore your sensuality. Here are five of our favorite cannabis products that will level up the romance and increase intimacy.

Sensuali-Tea by Kikoko – CC BY

Kikoko’s Sensuali-tea

Available in California.

Kikoko offers a variety of excellent cannabis-infused herbal teas for every occasion, but take one look at the reviews for Sensuali-Tea and it’s clear that this product is something special. Their organically sun-grown cannabis is blended with other natural aphrodisiacs and plant medicines like rose petals to relieve anxiety and cloves to increase blood circulation (aka enhance performance). An Organic Hibiscus Cardamom Rose Tea made for connection and intimacy, Sensuali-tea intensifies orgasms and promises “utterly heavenly sex.” For those curious, caffeine-free tea bags are sold in individual packets or in a tin of ten. Single this Valentine’s Day? Consider buying a few tins and hosting a Kikoko High Tea Party for other singles to mix and mingle.

The Passion Pen or Arouse Pen by Dosist

Available in California.

Dosist actually offers two different vape options for a night of intimacy. The Passion Pen delivers “a euphoric feeling designed to increase sensuality and heighten your sexual experience,” while their Arouse Pen is formulated to “help you feel aroused and enhance your excitement.” Both products are THC-dominant with small amounts of CBD to enhance the relaxing effects without getting lazy. While we’re not sure what the difference between the two really is, Dosist says it’s in the terpenes: the Passion Pen incorporates myrcene and limonene for a musky citrus flavor, while the Arouse Pen is primarily made up of linalool and farnesene for a spicy yet floral aroma. If you want to do your own comparison, skip the 200 dose pen and buy their 50 dose pen in both Passion and Arouse.

High Love

Available in Colorado.

This Colorado-based company mixes two well-known aphrodisiacs into one sexy chocolate bar

Incorporating everyone’s favorite strain, Blue Dream, into a medley of plant medicines catered to improving sexy time and infused into rich dark chocolate. The blend includes some lesser-known medicinal plants like “damiana to curb inhibition, Catuaba to increase sexual desire, theobromine for energy, Ashwagandha to reduce stress and boost libido, and Muira Puama, known as the ‘Viagra of the Amazon.’”

Quiver Sensual Pleasure Oil by Herba Buena – CC BY

Herba Buena Quiver Sensual Pleasure Oil

Available in California.

Top Chef’s Casey Thompson named Quiver “the best lube ever,” while SF Chronicle Green State calls it “the best intimacy oil” yet. Herba Buena promises heightened awareness, lubrication, and euphoria. Their special blend is formulated to “enhance arousal, extend orgasm, and ease menstrual cramps.” With hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and clove, this oil is not only great for the main event but romantic massages as well. Also, be warned: like all oil-based lubes, this product is not latex-condom safe.

Awaken by Foria Wellness – CC BY

Foria Awaken

Can be shipped anywhere.

Not in California or Colorado? Not to worry–the weed lube brand, Foria, has come up with a solution. Their new product, Awaken, is designed to deliver similar effects to their original THC-infused lube for women that don’t live in legalized states. With a rich mint and chocolate aroma, Awaken combines 8 natural aphrodisiacs with hemp-based CBD to heighten pleasure and ease discomfort. Like the lube above, this product is coconut oil-based and therefore does not work with latex.
