Dating Tips For Medical Cannabis Users

More than half of the country’s 55 million cannabis users are millennials (ages 25-40), who just so happen to make up the largest percentage of singles, too. So it only makes sense that the issue of medicinal cannabis use is coming up more and more on dating apps and first dates. One survey by the dating site Match claimed that 72% of women and 62% of men wouldn’t date a regular smoker, and cannabis use still carries negative connotations for some people. 

If medicinal cannabis use is part of your pain management daily routine and you’re looking for a partner, finding the right person can be difficult. Dealing with medical issues is challenging and finding someone to love who can understand health issues can require dating apps. We aren’t physicians or therapists but here is an article that can help create conversations about finding the right person. 

Setting up a dating profile

Whether you’re using a 420-friendly dating site like HighThere, or a more mainstream app, here are some tips for filling out your profile and selecting photos. 

Profile tips 

According to a 2019 study by The Knot, 22% of couples end up meeting on apps and getting engaged. Online dating used to be taboo, but it’s now the new normal, so you’ll want to make sure your profile accurately represents your medicinal cannabis use. Otherwise, you’ll be starting your courtship off on the wrong foot and potentially attracting someone who is against medicinal cannabis. Most apps, including Bumble and OKCupid, allow you to check a box for “4/20 Friendly”, but beyond that — how much should you divulge? 

Well, it depends on your frequency of use. If you use medical cannabis to manage your medical conditions only occasionally, marking the box is fine…there’s no reason to bring it up in your profile. But, if you partake in medicinal cannabis use several times a week, it’s a good idea to mention it in your profile. Doing so is a win-win. You’ll be attracting someone who understands the medicinal properties of cannabis and scaring away people who might not be accepting of your medical conditions. Keep it short and to the point, but be honest. 

Photo tips 

Unless you’re using a dating site specifically for medicinal cannabis users, keep your photos PG. They shouldn’t show you actively smoking or posing with drug paraphernalia. Despite the fact that 22% of 18-29 year olds in the U.S. smoke cannabis, including photos like that in your profile can lead a potential partner to get the wrong impression. Plus, once you post a photo online, you never know where it could end up. 

Err on the side of caution and keep photos of medicinal cannabis and drug paraphernalia out of your dating profile. 

Tips for the first date (and beyond)

So, you found someone who is accepting of your medicinal cannabis use? Congratulations! But don’t pat yourself on the back just yet. There’s a lot more to dating someone than just picking a killer restaurant. Here are some things that might come up on your first date and beyond. 

Be honest, always 

When it comes to using medicinal cannabis, be honest with your date. Being a good (potential) partner means being ready and able to talk about the hard stuff — including the health reasons for using medical cannabis. If they ask questions without judgment and are honestly curious, they deserve an honest answer in response. 

Learn to negotiate & set boundaries

A big part of any relationship is setting boundaries and negotiating. If you aren’t comfortable being around cannabis smoke, your date can try a different consumption method, like an edible. If your own medicinal cannabis habits bother your date, you can offer to smoke outside or avoid smoking before important functions. Compromise is key to a happy and healthy relationship — and it goes both ways. 

Navigating consent 

If you and your partner plan to hang out while either one of you is under the influence of medicinal cannabis, it’s a good idea to talk about sex and boundaries before you smoke. Even if you feel like you understand your partner’s tendencies, never assume that sexual activity is OK without discussing it first, and regularly check in throughout the experience.

Find ways to include them

Even if your partner doesn’t have an MMJ card, you can still include them in some of your favorite activities. Love watching stoner comedies? Invite your date to join you and offer to make them a special drink instead, like a CBD mocktail. You don’t have to both use medicinal cannabis to be cannabis positive enjoy certain aspects of cannabis culture together — it just takes some creativity.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
