I had never really noticed the phallic nature of a budding pot plant, its engorged flowers pulsating toward the sky, until a recent Friday night at Vela pot shop. I was looking at a small indoor grow while listening to Mistress Matisse say that weed was helping her accomplish her life mission of giving people more orgasms.

“I kind of regard that as my purpose in life—to make people have more orgasms. And now they get to have them even when I’m not in the room,” said Matisse, a professional dominatrix, former Stranger columnist, and the creator of Velvet Swing cannabis lube.
