Cannabis and Sex a Love Story as Old as Time
Why is a love story that began thousands of years ago still struggling to come out from under the covers? That’s the question we’re asking in this episode of The Potcast with Ross Rebagliati, where we’re exploring the passionate relationship between cannabis and sex.
We’ll take you on a journey from tantric rituals in 7th century India, to the secret writings of Carl Sagan, to important research today that’s making a strong case for the connection between cannabis and sexual enjoyment.
Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill from the Women’s Cannabis Project joins us to talk about her research and how she’s made it her mission to get cannabis approved as a medical treatment in the US for women with orgasm difficulty. And Ross sits down with Shahbaaz Kara-Virani to chat about cannabis, performance enhancement, and CBD topicals for the bedroom from Canadian cannabis wellness brand, Proofly.

Episode Transcript
I'd love if we could be part of normalizing cannabis use and also stand up for the peoplewho use cannabis.
It's personal.
I'm Ross Rebagliati and this is the PoTcast.
The passionate relationship between cannabis and sex began thousands of years ago.
(00:21):
Yet somehow, it's still struggling to come out from under the covers.
In this episode of the podcast, we're speaking with people who like to normalize thediscussion around cannabis and sex.
We as a society, I don't feel mainstream talk about like sex orgasms.
It's so taboo to even like have that conversations.
(00:42):
I'm excited to mix these two together because they go head to head, obviously.
And help everyone enjoy the pleasure they deserve.
I did a study for my dissertation to evaluate women who were using cannabis prior topartnered sex.
It was clearly evident that the largest group of women who had orgasm difficulty almostnever or never orgasmed without cannabis and almost always orgasmed with it.
(01:08):
When I saw that show up, when I organized the data,
and saw like, my god, we're on to something.
