This poem was born today as a process of changing my relationship with cannabis. “Cannabiss Lovers” is not just a poem but also a series of AI art I created to honor my medicine and my lover, whose relationship with me is evolving.
This one’s for rainy days in bed.
Snuggles, cuddles, licks, and laughs.
Binging on armpits and hairy hearts.
Long wet kisses and slow rhythmic sex.
Root chakras setting the world ablaze!
I always thought that cannabis made lovemaking better. Cannabis also helped me break free from my internalized homophobia during the times I was too afraid to come out and had spun a lie so big I couldn’t see myself undoing it. Cannabis helped me live the projection and lie in some way, easing the pain like a mother who lies for her children. I believed that I could never have sex with anyone without weed, or if I did, the sex would be so terrible I’d hate myself even more!
But the truth was a revelation—sex is an amazing, wonderful, and one of the most precious gifts of being human. Sex is an amazing way to express ourselves, be ourselves, and share our most vulnerable and beautiful selves with others. My lesson was first in loving myself enough to be curious about who I am, what I love, and what sex is to me—a beautiful dance of souls! It is a connection that is godlike, expansive, and something we must both give and take and share. Such a beautiful experience and gift of human existence.
So today, I create this art to celebrate wisdom and to share stories of change, inviting all of you, my queer community in Sri Lanka, to come out and play! To shed all the lies and shine! For me, cannabis was a medicine for my pain, but once the pain was gone, she told me to keep moving and creating from this new space created.
Let’s embrace the journey together, celebrate our true selves, and share the love and beauty that come from authentic connections.
