Ed. Note: We couldn’t stop laughing at this story. Seems like #weedpron took on a different meaning than glamour shots of bud…at least on Legalization Day.
A quick search for #weedporn on Instagram will turn up nearly seven million images of superb specimens of bud, close-ups of crystallized nugs, and carefully crafted joints, though it seems that Canadians are (quite literally) looking for a different kind of “weed porn” in the days following nationwide legalization.
Pornhub is reporting that searches for cannabis-related terms were 206% higher than average on Legalization Day in Canada.
Though scientific research is still sparse, anecdotal experience increasingly supports the reputation of cannabis as an aphrodisiac and possibly accounts for the spike in search traffic.
According to the Canadian pornography website, searches that included terms such as “420”, “smoking weed”, “weed sex”, “horny weed”, “girls smoking weed”, “ganja girls”, and “smoking weed blowjob” topped the charts on October 17.
