Or, make that the wrong plant. According to a recent survey, the cure for a lagging female libido might be marijuana. HelloMD, the “leading digital healthcare platform for the cannabis industry,” asked 1,400 medical marijuana patients in California about their use and weren’t too stoned to crunch the numbers. They didn’t specifically ask subjects if they used weed for sex, but 14 percent reported using it to enhance their sex lives and 47 percent used it to improve their mood — presumably a turn-on for everyone involved. While more men are using weed than women (64 versus 36 percent), women beat out men when it came to using it for sex (8 versus 4 percent). Given the slow creep of access to medical and recreational marijuana in 22 other states, it’s not a huge leap to suggest that Californians aren’t the only couples smoking up to get down. If having kids threw a wrench in your sex life (something that’s been known to happen once or twice), and if you and the missus enjoy the odd toke, and you live somewhere you can get marijuana without getting all arrested and stuff, it’s something to consider. If nothing else, having the conversation will remind her you care about her sexual experiences as much as your own, which will come in handy if you ever want her to share her weed with you.
