While the research on cannabis and sex is still developing, there is decent evidence to suggest that cannabis is a powerful aphrodisiac for women.
For example, 127 women used cannabis before sex in a study released in 2019. Compared to the other 246 women who participated, women who used cannabis before intercourse reported increases in sex drive, decreases in pain, and an improvement in orgasm. After adjusting for race and age, researchers noted that the female cannabis users reported satisfactory orgasms at a rate 2.10 times higher than non-users.
Other research shows that some cannabis strains can reduce feelings of anxiety and pain better than others – which may help women lower their inhibitions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is limonene?
Limonene is a terpene found in some strains of cannabis. It is thought to promote feelings of calm. Limonene is the dominant terpene in the cannabis strains Wedding Cake and Do-Si-Dos, but it’s also found in the rind of lemons and oranges. It has a slight citrus flavor.
What is the best strain for female arousal?
The strains Wedding Cake and Do-Si-Dos are generally recommended for arousal, as they contain the terpene limonene. If you are not a regular user, however, you might want to choose a more subtle strain like Zkittelz.
Is sativa or indica more euphoric?
Sativa strains generally have a higher concentration of cannabinoid THC, meaning they are generally considered euphoric. Indica strains can still produce feelings of euphoria, but they provide less of a ‘head high’. Of course, everyone’s experience of euphoria is subjective, so a strain you find euphoric may not be euphoric to someone else.
Takeaway
The best strains for female arousal lower a woman’s inhibitions, reduce her anxiety, and relieve any pain she may have. If you are looking to increase euphoria and arousal, we recommend Wedding Cake and Do-Si-Dos. However, if you are looking to reduce anxiety and pain, we recommend Zkittlez or Blueberry for new users and Bubba Kush for regular users.
