And if the same partner is pot-friendly it could be a dream come true.
When consumed with friends, your weed consumption gets boosted manifold. The best part of having the same weed habit as your lover is that it not only enhances the smoking experience but, according to studies, also increases sexual activity and numbs all sorts of pains that a couple may experience during sexual activity. In this article, we shall explain various ways in which you can find your pot-friendly partner?
Let’s discuss this in detail!
How Does Cannabis Work?
Cannabis has psychological and physiological effects on us, which means it can alter the state of mind either way. Depending upon how we use cannabis, it can either be your friend for life or your worst enemy. Around 500 identified constituents, also known as cannabinoids, trigger very complex reactions in our mind and body. The good part of cannabis is that it is believed to be a potential cure for many diseases. The endocannabinoid system, a naturally occurring communication network in our body, connects with cannabis and affects different bodily functions like pain, hunger, memory, state of mind, body movement, and overall immunity. However, it is also true that research around cannabis is very limited. There are tight regulations, which stops researchers from conducting large-scale studies around cannabis.
Why Having A Pot-friendly Partner Matters?
It has been proved through various research studies that if you have a pot-friendly partner, it’s a win-win for both of you. Firstly, having the same so-called ‘weed interest’ shows there’s some sort of a match in terms of interests. Cannabis impacts your performance in bed with increased sexual activity. The market is flooded with cannabis-based products that specially focus on enhancing sexual performance. Many also focus on reducing pain during sex. However, having a ‘pot-friendly partner’ benefits in many more ways. If you are into the pot but for your partner, it’s a big no-no, it could be a pretty daunting experience. There are many habits that your partner may find offensive, which could create ripples in your relationship. However, maintaining habits and having a deeper understanding could be easier with a pot-loving partner.
How Can You Find A 420-friendly Or Pot-friendly Partner?
Social media is the best way to hunt for a pot-friendly partner. In this day and age, everyone’s on one or the other social media platform. Many such platforms allow users to share info regarding their habits such as pot-smoking. This kind of information could be gold for those looking for partners online. Many people also put a “420-friendly” tagline in their profile to indicate they like smoking weed. Since the weed-smoking population is increasing by the day, social media platforms, specifically focusing on the cannabis-smoking population, have also cropped up across the US. Platforms like High There, 420 Singles and My 420 Mate allow weed smokers to know each other via their smoking habits.
Platforms such eventhi.io will connect you to fellow pot smokers via events that are held to spread cannabis awareness. The best part of these platforms is you don’t need to pretend about your pot-smoking habits as it’s out there in the open. Only those comfortable with it approach or respond to you. For other social media platforms too, the sooner you talk about your weed preferences, the better it is. You don’t want to end up spending time and money in a relationship only to be rejected based on your weed-smoking habits. According to experts, this discussion should be over even before your first date. Many couples like to indulge in virtual smoke sessions to get to know each other better. So, if you are looking for a weed-smoking partner, tapping social media should be on top of your priority list.
How Important Is It To Negotiate Consent?
When it comes to pot-loving partners — consent over setting boundaries is important. It becomes super important if your partner does not smoke weed. But how should couples get consent? After all, there’s no debate over the fact that you can’t opine on your partner’s consumption habits. If you do so, it could potentially hurt your relationship. Changing people in relationships does not work well. If your partner’s smoking habits are affecting you, it’s better to convey your message in such a way that it does not hurt the other person’s feelings. However, don’t try to control their habits. That could backfire. Don’t preach to them on their habits as they may be taken negatively. It is always better to set boundaries before entering the relationship. This way, both of you will know the boundaries that should not be crossed.
What If Your Partner Doesn’t Enjoy Weed?
Firstly, you should be honest with them and expect the same from them. If you have a high tendency for cannabis consumption, say it upfront. Try to sensitize them about various positive effects of the plant. Talk to your partner about the pros and cons. Also, promise your partner that your pot smoking habit won’t come in the way of spending time together. Even if you are stoned, spend time with them without appearing weird. Go out and talk about things that interest your partner. Last but not least — accept suggestions humbly and promise to work on negative aspects of your smoking habits. Be open to change. Those appearing averse to change often fail in relationships. However, if your partner asks you to quit smoking altogether, it’s better to revisit the boundaries set earlier or set new ones.
