Cannabis, Intimacy, and Kink: How to Play Safely and Consensually

Cannabis is becoming legal in more and more states and beyond so it’s time to open up the conversation on including it in your kink play instead of shaming people for wanting to indulge. It’s important to understand its impact on consent within kink and BDSM dynamics as well as play and intimacy. Join Miss Mackenzee, a self-proclaimed Ganja Goddess, and Lilith Foxx, a Board-certified sexologist, for this exciting workshop which delves into the unique considerations that need to be made. Within this class, you’ll learn strategies for discussing preferences and consent beforehand as well as mitigating risks. There will be demos to give you some practical skills including sensual sensation play to utilize once you’ve partaken.

Some of the topics to be covered are:

• Tips on dancing with Mary Jane for the nervous or those who don’t want to get high
• Fostering healthy, consensual connections in scenarios when including cannabis
• What is cannabis service and what does it look like?
• The joys of indulging and how it plays into one’s smoking fetish (we do not condone the use of nicotine and will be solely focusing on cannabis)
• Recommendations for products and sexy-time strains
• Enhancing pleasure and orgasms through plant medicine

This workshop is meant to be an inclusive environment that is accommodating for all types of people. You can participate in a way that feels comfortable for you, whether that’s having your camera on, joining in the chat, or remaining anonymous while taking in all the information. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any accessibility needs.

Zoom information will be sent in your confirmation email so make sure you are entering your email address correctly! This workshop will be recorded so if you can’t join live, don’t worry because you will receive a link to view the recording after it’s completed to watch at your convenience.
