Popstar is here with all the tips (not just the tip) and the need-to-knows on the correlations between weed and erectile dysfunction.

Puff, Puff, Pump: Weed and Erectile Dysfunction

Written by: Dr. Joshua Gonzalez

Ever found yourself in a haze of smoke, pondering life's mysteries and, well, your performance in the sack? We've all been there. But before you light up that next joint and expect fireworks in the bedroom, let's talk about the potential buzzkill known as erectile dysfunction (ED). Yep, it's a thing, and no, it's not just for the uncles with dad bods. So grab your favorite strain, settle in, and let's explore the highs and lows of weed and erectile dysfunction.


Now, this isn't a DARE advertisement (if you're reading this, you are probably old enough to remember when DARE was more than just a line of graphic t-shirts at Urban Outfitters.) We aren't saying you shouldn't smoke, but if you deal with ED, you might want to cut back on the THC. ED, or erectile dysfunction, is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection long enough to complete sexual activity. ED is ubiquitous but can affect confidence and stress levels. That's right, stoners, getting blazed can affect your boner. Unfortunately, much like a smoke sesh, the research regarding smoking and erectile dysfunction is cloudy. But fear not; Popstar is here with all the tips (not just the tip) and the need-to-knows on the correlations between weed and erectile dysfunction.

Blunts & Boners

Toking before poking can cause some issues, which is quite a conundrum. Many claim that smoking increases their desire for sex, sexual satisfaction, and sensitivity to touch. While some may swear by the aphrodisiac effects of a good toke, the reality isn't always so rosy. Sure, you might feel more in the mood after a session, but what good is the mood if your main man downstairs isn't getting the memo? If you are someone who deals with ED, smoking cannabis before sex can be very counterproductive. It is like being all dressed up without anywhere to go; you will be all horned up and unable to bone. So while smoking may have you mentally ready for sex, your dream blunt rotation may not lead to knocking boots.

THC Tango – Weed and Erectile Dysfunction

Ah, THC – the beloved compound responsible for that euphoric high we all know and love. But did you know it could also put a damper on your bedroom escapades? When THC hijacks your brain's control center, it can throw a wrench in the works, leaving your soldier standing at half-mast. So you may get high, but you might not get hard.


Smoking weed can also exacerbate any pre-existing problems you may have. If you're already battling anxiety, well, let's just say your chances of a stellar performance might go up in smoke. Since anxiety can affect your erectile dysfunction, smoking will have your anxiety levels up and, unfortunately, your dick down.

Many claim that smoking increases their desire for sex, sexual satisfaction, and sensitivity to touch. All of these sound amazing, but you can

CBD to the Rescue?

Much like a 2002 Jason Mraz, we "gots" the remedy, well, possibly. Enter CBD, the hero of our story – or is it? While some tout its potential to ease the woes of THC-induced ED, the jury's still out on just how effective it really is. Could it be the magic bullet we've all been waiting for, or just another puff of smoke? 


Unfortunately, there isn't much research on the benefits of CBD in treating erectile dysfunction. One theory is that CBD helps to relax blood vessels and promote blood flow to the penis, relieving ED. But, again, there isn't a plethora of research to support the correlation between CBD and ED improvement.

Beyond the Blunt – Exploring Other Solutions

So, what's a dedicated cannabis enthusiast to do? While we've focused primarily on the green stuff, it's important to remember that ED isn't just a stoner's dilemma. From lifestyle changes to medical interventions, there's a whole world of options out there for those seeking a little extra help in the bedroom. So whether you're a cannabis connoisseur or a straight-laced square, there's hope yet for your love life.

Navigating the Green Scene

We at Popstar Labs aren't saying you should stop smoking altogether if you love to partake in poking. While the research may be hazy, one thing's for sure – knowledge is power, especially when it comes to matters of the heart (and other parts). Before you become Cheech and Chong, just be aware of how it affects your dong. The next time you reach for that joint, remember to puff wisely and love boldly. After all, life's too short for limp performances and missed opportunities.

Absolutely performs as advertised. I've taken Popstar for several months, and can say without a doubt that my volume has increased significantly, even earning a "Whoa! That's a lot!" from my wife. I cannot attest to the taste, but I am certainly satisfied with the volume enhancement.

I always had big cumshots, i tried popstars just to see if they can get even bigger. It took me a week to see some effect but after a week...wooow, it makes a real difference, now my loads are bigger than ever.

After taking Popstar pills for two weeks, I noticed a big difference! My erections stay hard for a longer time and my orgasms are much more powerful. In addition, my volume has increased twice the amount as before. I am looking forward to having many more explosions!

I was skeptical. I’ve tried other products before but this has shown more visible results. My cream is thicker and tastier. It’s especially noticeable when I’m edging myself. The load size is bigger, but like I mentioned before, thicker. Will continue to use this.
