Why are parents so much more likely to use cannabis on Valentine’s Day
One of the most surprising discoveries made during this study is the fact that parents are much more likely to use or gift cannabis for Valentine’s Day than their childless counterparts, but there are many reasons why this could be happening. Some experts point toward the way that alcohol lowers libido, in many cases making sexual relations far more difficult. Others suggest the difference may be due to the amount of stress parents feel on a day-to-day basis.
It’s also important to consider how cannabis has the ability to ease tensions and relax, without complete intoxication, a useful fact for parents who might not be child-free during this romantic holiday.
Valentine’s Day offers a great opportunity for couples and potential partners to try something new together, and since cannabis is so good for inspiring intimacy, or at the very least, easing the nerves so you can enjoy these special moments together, it only makes sense to consider the power of cannabinoids and how they might help to elevate your Valentine’s Day this year.
