What are cannabis lubricants?
Cannabis lubricants (or THC lubes) are water- or oil-based liquid or gel topicals that are infused with cannabis. They are intended for use during intimacy to reduce friction, enhance sensation, and increase comfort without any psychoactive effects or high.
Cannabis lubricants are applied to intimate areas so that the cannabinoids in the product, like THC and CBD, can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes.
Once the cannabinoids are absorbed, they interact with cannabinoid receptors, which are part of the endocannabinoid system, which can result in reduced dryness, inflammation, and discomfort and increased arousal, blood flow, and sensitivity.
Types of cannabis lubricants
There are several different formulations and kinds of cannabis lubricants to choose from, including:
Water-based
Oil-based
Hybrid (oil- and water-based)
CBD-only

Benefits of cannabis lubricants
Cannabis lubricants offer various benefits when used during intimacy. While regular lubricant can minimize friction, vaginal dryness, and discomfort, the infusion of cannabis and cannabinoids (especially THC and CBD) provides an added layer of wellness benefits, including enhanced sensation, sensitivity, blood flow, arousal, and overall relaxation.
Some cannabis-infused lubricant products are also designed to pair well with other intimate products, such as condoms, and some are infused with natural oils, like coconut oil, which moisturizes.
How cannabis lubricants are made
Cannabis lubricants are made by infusing a cannabis extract into a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil, or almond oil, which enables cannabinoids to be absorbed through mucous membranes and skin during intimacy.
Once the cannabis extract is fully infused into the oil, usually through gentle heating over several hours, the mixture is strained to remove any plant material.
Sometimes ingredients like aloe vera, botanical extracts, essential oils, or pH-balancing agents are included to enhance comfort, scent, or therapeutic properties. The final formulation is mixed and poured into containers.
Before distribution, the cannabis lubricant is lab-tested, then packaged in child-resistant containers for sale in dispensaries.
How to shop for cannabis lubricants
Understanding labels
Users should always read the labels on cannabis lubricants carefully so they are aware of the ingredients, cannabinoids, any potential side effects, and how and where to apply the lubricant before they buy it.
Most cannabis lubricant products will be labeled with some or all of the following:
Cannabinoid content, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and/or CBD (cannabidiol)
Ingredients
Manufacturer info
Cannabis warning statements
Universal cannabis symbol
Batch number and lab testing info
Serving size and application instructions
Most high-quality THC lubricants will have transparent labeling, clean and/or safe ingredients, and a consistent, normal texture.
Choosing the right cannabis lubricants
The same as intimacy, finding the right cannabis lubricant can be personal. Whether one needs a cannabis lubricant for wellness purposes or simply for pleasure, the right one for a user will depend on their needs and preferences, as well as what’s most compatible with their body.
If a user needs a product that provides extra moisture, is long-lasting, and boosts comfort, an oil-based cannabis lubricant higher in CBD might be a good choice. CBD is known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and anxiety-reducing effects, while oil-based lubricants offer more moisture than water-based lubricants, plus they often contain natural oils.
If one wants a cannabis lubricant that can increase blood flow and arousal while also providing mild lubrication that’s non-greasy and easy to clean, a water-based cannabis lubricant higher in THC could work for them. THC is known for its euphoric and stimulating effects, and water-based lubes generally mimic the body’s natural lubrication, plus they often come in pH-friendly formulations.
If one is simply looking for a product that will take their intimate sessions to the next level, they can focus more on personal preferences. There are flavored and scented cannabis lubricants, as well as products with different delivery methods, such as sprays, bars, suppositories, and roll-ons.
How to use cannabis lubricants
Directions and dosing
Cannabis lubricants are typically applied in areas where they can be absorbed through mucous membranes, so it’s crucial to read the label before applying the product.
The label should tell a user the total amount of THC and/or CBD (in milligrams) the lubricant contains, how much to apply at a time, and how often they can use it.
Frequently asked questions
Water-based cannabis lubricants are typically formulated with cannabinoids suspended in a water-soluble base, making them safe to use with condoms, toys, and pH-balanced for vaginal health. They're lightweight, easy to clean, and absorb quickly, but may need reapplication.
Oil-based cannabis lubricants use oils to carry the cannabinoids, allowing for deeper absorption through mucous membranes and often longer-lasting effects. However, they’re not compatible with latex condoms and can stain fabrics. The choice depends on one’s needs for compatibility, sensitivity, and desired effects.
THC lube isn't necessarily designed to get you high. Whether cannabis lubricants cause psychoactive effects depends on the specific product formulation. Most cannabis lubricants are formulated as topicals, meaning the cannabinoids are absorbed locally through mucous membranes and skin rather than entering the bloodstream. When used as directed, these products typically don't produce the psychoactive effects associated with smoking or consuming edibles.
However, some cannabis lubricants are specifically formulated as transdermal products with ingredients designed to enhance absorption into the bloodstream, which may cause psychoactive effects. Always read product labels carefully to understand whether you're purchasing a topical or transdermal formulation. If you're concerned about psychoactive effects, look for products specifically labeled as topical-only without penetration enhancers.
Like all cannabis products, the price of CBD- and THC-infused lubricants depends on their strength, brand reputation, geographic location, product quality, ingredient list, and size.
Typically, a single cannabis lubricant product costs between $20 and $50, and sometimes a little more.
You can buy cannabis lubes, along with other cannabis topicals and therapeutics, including creams and lotions, balms, extract oils, capsules, tinctures, Rick Simpson Oil, patches, and bath products, on Weedmaps for pickup or delivery from a dispensary near you.
