It's that time of year again, and love is in the air. But with Valentine's Day just around the corner, you might also feel the heavy burden of expectation. Especially for couples who have been together for ages, there is always a desire to reinvent the romance wheel.
So, can we make a suggestion? This year, make it a cannabis Valentine's Day. We’re talking romance-infused dinners, laughter-infused evenings, and decadent THC-infused treats.
Ready to take the plunge for a night you'll never forget? Here's the full list of ways to use cannabis to deepen your connection this Valentine's Day
Cannabis Valentine's Date Ideas
Cannabis for pleasure isn't a new concept. A 2023 study not only discovered this plant was making a big appearance on Valentine's Day, with 61% of respondents planning to incorporate it into their plans in some fashion, but it was pushing out more traditional experiences. According to the results, as many as 19 million people were swapping champagne for cannabis.
If you choose to introduce a serving of THC this year, you'll be joining the majority of Americans doing the same.
So, here is a bit more inspiration for your upcoming Valentine's Day date plans.
1. Candlelit Cannabis Dinner
Set the mood with a romantic candlelit dinner infused with the relaxing power of cannabis. Not a well-versed canna chef? No sweat.
How much should you use per serving? As a reminder, one teaspoon of our syrups contain 5mg of THC, and one tablespoon has 15mg. Add an appropriate serving size for you and your date to ensure you keep the good times going long after the dinner plates have been put away.
2. Cannabis and Comedy
Laughter builds stronger connections. Why not lighten the mood this Valentine's Day by purposefully curating a hilarious evening of jokes? Grab tickets to a local comedy show, or stay in with a marathon lineup of romantic comedies.
What's on the list? Maybe you head down the "so bad it's actually funny" route with a Hallmark rom-com or put on tried and true classics like Knocked Up and 50 First Dates. But whatever comedic road you travel, be sure to serve up THC-infused treats beforehand to release the best belly laughs. Afterall, nothing brings out the giggles like cannabis.
3. Strain Tasting
For all the couples who have cannabis as a regular part of their daily routine, why not make that ritual extra special with a Valentine's strain tasting? Treat your loved one to a lineup of their favorites or maybe a selection of exotic options, then spend the evening together sampling the wares. Discuss tasting notes and differences in effects, and give each new strain a rating.
Not sure where to start? Try the Discovery Pack of Live Rosin Gummies to explore terpene profiles of Super Silver Haze, Blue Dream, Grand Daddy Purple, and Northern Lights, all in one bundle.
The moderate serving size in each gummy makes this the perfect option for sharing and sampling.
4. Creative Expression with Cannabis
Light a creative and romantic spark by laying plans for an evening filled with artistic explorations. Gather supplies beforehand, whether you feel drawn to acrylics, clay, or sketching in the nude. Then, take the experience that much higher with our Black Cherry Magic Mushroom Gummies containing delta-9 THC, amanita muscaria, and other synergistic nootropics.
From Pablo Picasso to Willie Nelson, many of history's greatest creative minds have relied on cannabis and other elucidating ingredients as unending sources of inspiration. So, why not introduce it to explore your shared artistic sides together?
5. Cuddle Up with Cannabis
For this occasion, we've crafted an extra special treat. Our limited edition, fast-acting Arouse Gummies formulated for Him and Her contain a micro serving of THC combined with a synergistic blend of libido-boosting botanicals.
Each ingredient has been hand-selected to relax the mind, connect you to the present moment, and heighten sensations. Nibble a gummy (or more) about 30 minutes before the evening turns to the bedroom, and enjoy the ride.
6. Romantic Wake and Bake
Who says your Valentine's plans have to start at night? Why wait? From the moment you wake up beside the one you love, have a beautiful morning of lounging in bed, rolling around in the sheets, with the ingredients for the perfect wake and bake at the ready.
How you choose to pack breakfast with a delicious serving of THC is up to you, from our aforementioned Natural Agave Syrup drizzled on pancakes to Hot Agave Syrup over bacon and eggs. Or, for a more traditional wake-and-bake option, pre-roll a few joints with delta-8 flower and have them laid out on a platter by the side of the bed.
7. Cannabis Gift Exchange
The theme this year is THC! Instead of roses, we recommend a little more intentional gifting. Try gathering our individually wrapped THC Caramels and Taffies, then poke them with a wooden skewer and gather them together into a beautiful bouquet. The more treats, the merrier!
Or order a sweet selection of THC Chocolates for that special someone. Tuck it into a cute heart-shaped box, tie it with a ribbon, and share.
8. CBD Bath and Massage
Slow down with a steamy soak in a luxurious bath with your partner this year. Set the mood with candles, dried flower petals, and Prima's Arousal Bath Gems. These are effervescent mineral soaks blended to enhance pleasure and intimacy.
When the temperature in the room reaches a tipping point, towel off and move it to the bedroom. But keep that slow anticipation building by trading off sensual massages with Beyond Body Oil, made from CBD, nourishing natural oils, and other beneficial ingredients. Where the evening goes from here is up to you.
Cannabis Fuels Valentine's Day in a Way Champagne Never Could
Don't fall into the old tropes of roses, chocolate, and champagne this Valentine's Day. Make this year one for the books with the assistance of cannabis.
With its ability to create closer connections, a deeper level of intimacy, and more intense physical sensations, it's a wonder it took this long for us all to consider it a part of Valentine's Day plans.
At Hometown Hero, we craft our products for pleasure, with hemp-derived cannabinoids, botanicals, and other feel-good plant extracts. Let us help you go deeper with your partner this season. It will be an experience you won't soon forget.
And until next time, Mind Your Mind.
