Cannabis & Sex: A Love Story as Old as Time
Why is a love story that began thousands of years ago still struggling to come out from under the covers? That’s the question we’re asking in this episode of The Potcast with Ross Rebagliati, where we’re exploring the passionate relationship between cannabis and sex.
We’ll take you on a journey from tantric rituals in 7th century India, to the secret writings of Carl Sagan, to important research today that’s making a strong case for the connection between cannabis and sexual enjoyment.
Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill from the Women’s Cannabis Project joins us to talk about her research and how she’s made it her mission to get cannabis approved as a medical treatment in the US for women with orgasm difficulty. And Ross sits down with Shahbaaz Kara-Virani to chat about cannabis, performance enhancement, and CBD topicals for the bedroom from Canadian cannabis wellness brand, Proofly.

Suzanne Mulvehill, PhD., is a Clinical Sexologist, Orgasmologist, and the Executive Director of the Female Orgasm Research Institute, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to conducting research to identify proven pathways to female orgasm, to bring awareness to the mental and physical impact of female orgasm disorder (FOD), and to reduce the persistently high percentage of women suffering from FOD. Dr. Mulvehill leads the Women’s Cannabis Project, a public policy initiative to get FOD added as a condition of treatment for medical cannabis in US states and countries worldwide. In 2024, the states of Connecticut and Illinois become the first US states to approve medical cannabis as a treatment for FOD.
Dr. Mulvehill’s most significant research to date, revealed that cannabis use before partnered sex improves orgasm frequency, ease, and satisfaction for women who report orgasm difficulty. Her research is supported by 50 years of cannabis and sex research and has been published in Sexual Medicine, and the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

About Ross
Ross Rebagliati is a Canadian snowboarder who won a gold medal in the men’s giant slalom event at the 1998 Winter Olympics. A positive cannabis test led the International Olympic Committee to strip him of his medal, but the decision was overruled in appeals court two days later because cannabis was not on the list of banned substances. For that reason, Ross’ medal is the only Olympic medal to have ever been returned.
Since then, Ross has become an outspoken cannabis advocate and entrepreneur. He was featured in the July 14, 2008 edition of Sports Illustrated, which profiled his life since his Olympic win.
