Guide to Planning a Cannabis Date Night

Who said that weed can’t be romantic? With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, we’re thinking more about love and how you can integrate cannabis into your date nights, whether it’s for V-Day or any date night that you want to give a little spice. 

From the specific strains that could give you some extra help with enhancing your romance to cannabis-focused activities that you can do with your loved one and more, we’ll explore a multitude of ways for you to create the perfect cannabis date night.  

Extra Romantic Strains For Valentine’s Celebrations

Wait…there are romantic cannabis strains? 

Yes! Just as different strains of cannabis can have effects such as pain relief, energy-enhancement, or sleepiness, they can also have effects that help with date night. Whether you’re looking for a more relaxed or high-energy date night, there’s a strand for it. Here are a few common faves:

Wedding Cake

As the name implies, the Wedding Cake strain could help you bring date night to the next level. This indica-dominant strain with a high THC level is often experienced as euphoria-producing, helping to relax the mind and body. It also has a sweet vanilla flavor profile, making it the perfect Valentine’s or date night treat.  

Mimosa

Looking for a less relaxed and more energized date night? Mimosa might be just the thing. Like its namesake, this strain has a bright citrus flavor. In terms of its effects, you and your date may feel happy, clear-minded, energetic, and uplifted. 

Atomic Northern Lights

Interested in a more fun and spontaneous date night? Give Atomic Northern Lights a try. This strain can be uplifting, helping to boost your confidence and create feelings of tingling and euphoria.

Edibles

Edibles can be another fun way to take your date night to the next level. You could enjoy a classic date night sweet treat like brownies or cookies. 

Of course, there’s nothing more classically romantic than chocolate. You can purchase cannabis-infused chocolate at your local dispensary or online. These chocolate bars from Kiva, for example, contain both CBD and THC, and they come in flavors like Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Blackberry Dark Chocolate, and Smores.  

Gummies are another classic sweet treat that you could share with your date. There are even cannabis gummies that are specifically designed with date night in mind. Snoozy makes “Love is All You Need” gummies, which they describe as “a blend of cannabinoids and aphrodisiacs designed to get you in the mood.” They contain Delta 9 THC, CBD, Maca Root Extract, and Horny Goat Weed.

DIY-Infused Valentine’s Treats 

Besides baking cookies or brownies, there’s lots that you can do for a cannabis themed DIY date night. 

For a special drink, you could make cannabis cocktails together. Part of what makes this so fun is that there are endless opportunities to customize, such as whether or not you include alcohol, what dosage you use, and what flavors and other ingredients you choose to mix. Use just glycerin-based cannabis tinctures or cannabis syrups for an alcohol-free cocktail like an apple cider mule, citrus mimosa, or strawberry lemonade. Or, mix cannabis-based beverages with alcohol for a more classic experience. 

Looking for a different kind of DIY? For a more wholesome night in, you could do cannabis-themed crafting like making THC-infused candles, decorating lighters, water pipes, or bongs, or creating cannabis-infused butter or oil. 

Spa Day

For the most relaxing date night in without the large price tag of a day at the spa, try a DIY cannabis-inspired spa day in. With so many cannabis-infused self-care products on the market, it’s never been easier. 

Start out with a hot bath using bath salts like this Lavender THC one or this Eucalyptus CBD salt. Then, use a cannabis-infused massage oil. In addition to being romantic, a massage with cannabis-infused oil might be your most relaxing one yet, as cannabis has been linked to pain relief.  

Finally, a cannabis-infused lotion or balm can be the cherry on top of your couple’s spa night-in. These external products can also be a great option if you want to experience some of the relaxing and skin-rejuvenating benefits of CBD without the psychoactive effects of THC. 

Gift 

And one final way to make date night or Valentine’s Day special? Give a gift! Whether it’s a basket of CBD skin care products, a tin of their favorite weed gummies, or some buds or pre-rolls, your partner is sure to love a cannabis-themed gift chosen with care. 

Make it Special

No matter which way you choose to incorporate cannabis into your Valentine’s Day or date night, the most important thing is that you’re making it special with something that you both love.
