Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Cannabis

Sending out some love to all our marijuana valentines out there! Whether it’s the holiday you can’t wait for or the one that makes you cringe, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. And this year in 2025, Feb. 14 falls on a Friday — so those who are in the “love it” camp can celebrate all weekend long.

While there is some discrepancy as to how this holiday all began, some even claiming that the origin story is actually pretty bloody and dark, it is an undeniable fact that Valentine’s Day is the second-largest card-sending holiday of the year (Christmas is No. 1) with about 145 million valentines being sent out each year — and that number doesn’t even include those bulk-packaged kiddie valentines — with the average celebrator of Valentine’s Day spending about $185.

While traditional Valentine’s Day gifts include chocolate and flowers, a 2023 Wired Research study showed that 61% of adults 21 and over in the United States had plans to gift or celebrate with cannabis! That’s nearly 148 million people — and shows an enormous shift away from the stigma previously associated with pot and an increased acceptance of cannabis.

If you are someone who’s interested in creating a cannabis Valentine’s Day and in search of the best weed for romance or where to find the best weed Valentine’s gifts, not to worry! We’ve got you, Boo!

Cannabis and Romance?

The partaking of cannabis does more than help you just relax — some say it actually can deepen the connection between you and your partner. Cannabis works along with the natural systems in your body to both heighten sensation and allow you to feel more present. Couples may find that consuming cannabis together can help them to let go of stress and give them a chance to truly focus on one another — and that makes cannabis an ideal accouterment for date nights or a romantic cannabis Valentine’s Day. Using cannabis can be a great way to:

• boost relaxation
• encourage playfulness
• deepen emotional intimacy
• enhance the sensory experience

Valentine’s Day Weed Activities

If you’re half of a couple, there are lots of ways you can enhance your time together:

• Cook together: Cooking has always been a classic date-night idea, but adding cannabis makes it even that much better. Cannabis-infused dishes like pasta tossed with some THC-enhanced olive oil or brownies made with cannabutter can take your tastebuds and romance to another level.
• Spa together: You can lean into the relaxation by getting lost in some calming music, lighting some candles and taking a soak with some cannabis-infused bath bombs. Giving each other massages with CBD or THC topical oils is another great way to enhance both intimacy and connection.
• Netflix & chill together: Create a cozy movie night at home by pairing some Valentine’s Day weed with a classic romance or a feel-good comedy you can watch together. The pot can help to heighten the humorous or emotional elements, and the snacks will taste oh-so yummy.
• Nature together: Celebrate Cupid’s Day by spending some time in the great outdoors. If you reside where there’s good weather, make the most of it by exploring a park, nature trail or botanical garden. Pack some edibles so you can enjoy their slow-release and long-lasting effects and have a threesome with you, your partner and good ol’ Mother Nature.
• Stargaze together: Pack yourself a picnic and some blankets to bundle up and cuddle beneath the wide open sky. There’s just something so serene and magical about sharing a starry night and wishing together on a shooting star — and enjoying some pre-rolls or hitting a vape pen can only enhance that experience.

Embrace Your Freedom

Statistically, not everyone is going to be coupled up on the big VD, and that’s OK! Whether you are in between situationships or the type who’s not looking to settle down, there’s no need to hide from all of the cupid hoopla. As RuPaul says, “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”

There is no shame in practicing some self-care on the 14th — or enjoying Singles Awareness Day on Feb. 15 — or taking a cue from the Leslie Knope playbook and having a Galentine’s Day celebration on the 13th with all your very best girlies. Pick yourself up a good self-love strain and do any of the above activities and more while pampering yourself and focusing on your own well-being.

Best Weed Valentine’s Gifts

While we all know that true love is about more than just material things, if gifting is you or your partner’s love language, there are plenty of great options to present to your marijuana valentines. There are some really lovely Valentine’s Day weed-themed greeting cards that you can pair with one of the easy-to-obtain and always appreciated options like glassware pipes and bongs, a high-quality vape or a cute little joint holder.

Some other fun favorites include:

• Smokable arrangements: If you’re crafty, then by all means use your skills to create a DIY cannabis bouquet. Otherwise, a quick Google search for a cannabis florist near you or a call to your fave dispensary could lead you to something like this. Or you can just buy a beautiful floral arrangement and add some tasty buds on a stick.
• THC chocolate-covered strawberries: I mean, is there anything better than chocolate-covered strawberries? Well, actually, yes, there is. Chocolate-covered strawberries that also get you high! Combining the two aphrodisiacs of cannabis and chocolate is pretty simple when you just pick up a few bars of cannabis-infused chocolate from your local dispensary.
• Zippo lighters: Zippo arguably makes the greatest lighters of all time (can you say “lifetime guarantee”?), but did you know that they have an entire line that is cannabis themed? With so many to choose from, there’s bound to be one that your person will love — and you can even get it engraved for a gift that’s really special.

Flower that’s Better than Flowers

Flowers are lovely, but flower is something every cannabis lover can appreciate. When purchasing nugs for yourself or your sweetie, the strain you choose can make all the difference:

• Relax with an indica or indica-dominant strain to enjoy a calm and cozy mood. Something such as Northern Lights is known to bring about a euphoric and exceptionally relaxing high, while LA Confidential delivers a fast-approaching and almost psychedelic sensation, making it a superior self-love strain.
• Play with some sativa or sativa-dominant strains to energize your evening and spark creativity. Green Crack is an incredibly potent, highly-favorited fruity and floral option, while Peaches & Cream is a guaranteed good time with a strong probability of giggles ensuing.
• Get intimate with some beautifully balanced hybrids. You can never go wrong with Blue Dream when you want to enhance both a physical and emotional connection, or Strawberry Cough known for its ability to increase both physical sensations and sexual desire, making them both excellent choices when it comes to the best weed for romance.
