The Horny Stoner on All Things Stoned and Sexy

It’s that time of year where we celebrate the national stoner holiday, 4/20! And there’s no better way to celebrate than with The Horny Stoner herself: Anna Dee. She’s a dildo-dealing babe who’s also slanging out the cutest, and not to mention most affordable, smoking products that you’ll be dying to add to your collection. If you’re a fellow Bud Slut, this woman-founded pleasure palace will be your new obsession. From the toys and variety of pieces, to the sexual health advice and hilarious content, ya girl does it all. 

How did you come up with the Horny Stoner?

So, I’ve been with my fiance for about 10 years, and he’s always been the stoner expert. For example, he taught me how to use a rig and how to roll a blunt, so that’s been his hobby. But for me, I was a stripper when I met him, and I was also a cam girl. Now I’ve transitioned to OnlyFans, but I clearly exude sexuality. And all of my friends who are in the sex worker space, they also smoke. It’s just so interesting to me that these are two different worlds that collide, but we don’t talk about them meshing a lot. It took me a while wondering what it should be named:  “kinky cannabis” or “backdoor bongs.” But when I thought of Horny Stoner, it just clicked.

How does it feel to build a woman-founded pleasure palace?

Honestly, I wouldn’t want it any other way. I feel like working from home for almost a decade has been my love shack. So, being able to build my life and curate it how I want is freeing; I couldn’t be stuck in a cubicle-style form. I need to wake up to rainbows, unicorns, and bongs everywhere. Being a female-founded business, you know, can be hard. There’s a small percentage of women who succeed. And the percentage of small businesses that succeed is also so small. So as I continue to succeed and grow, I exude and share that we’re female founded because it’s so important to inspire other women-owned small businesses trying to make it. 

What made you mix an adult toy store and smoke shop?

After coming up with the idea and merging those boundaries, two lanes become one road. It shocked me how viral we quickly went and I realized, like, “Oh my god, I just made an untapped market, or this is a niche that no other website mixes the two.” You know, you have your sex shops, you have your pot shops, but didn’t have a combo of the two. I just always imagined in my head this strip club and weed shop mix. So that’s the next endeavor to do it in physical form, because it just makes sense.

Do you have anything special in store for 4/20?

Four-twenty is basically our Black Friday, or Green Friday. The deals will be just as good as around the holidays. Our “stoner collection” will be buy one, get one 42 percent off, and we will be doing daily product drops as well as daily gift card giveaways on our Instagram, @thehornystoner. It’s a great time for us to celebrate and help people get prepared  for the holiday and create these unique experiences for fellow Bud Sluts. “Tobacco products” are more accessible than when I first celebrated 4/20. We were hiding in a closet or hotboxing in a van out of a milk jug, so it’s really cool to see the evolution. Now I make dick-shaped bongs for all the girls, gays, and theys to compliment their cute little Euphoria outfits. 

What’s your favorite item(s) currently in the shop that you just can’t wait to turn people on to?

The one I always gravitate to is our princess water pipe. I’m one of those people who’s obsessed with color shifting, holograms, and rainbows, so I think it’s really cool whether you’re smoking in or outside you get the best of both worlds, and they’re just beautiful to photograph.We also have a lot of silicone pipes, and again, when I was younger, those really weren’t around. But nowadays, if you’re in a space where you don’t want to bring a giant glass bong, they’re unbreakable, and they’re really easy to clean. We just launched a collection of handmade, carved coconut pipes made in Hawaii. A lot of them have explicit artwork on them. We have a “Serpent of Adam” pipe that is in the shape of an apple and the snakes coming out of this beautiful vulva. 

What does healthy sexual expression mean to you?

It’s freedom; it’s vulnerability; it’s empowerment. When I think of the word “healthy sexual expression,” I think about the first time we are taught about sex, and it’s usually a very traumatic experience. Never learning how or what tools you can use, not teaching about how to climax, and sometimes trying to figure out how in really unsafe ways.

So teaching how to express that is beyond important, same as couples having healthy expression sexual expression, it’s crucial and it’s critical. So, not only does our brand provide tools, but we also provide education on how to push those boundaries. And we offer education to show the full spectrum of sexuality, because a lot of us are not reaching our fullest potential. It’s a shame when you have the ability to heighten your pleasure and to maximize it.

Why do you believe it’s important to highlight LGBTQ representation?

Because it is necessary, period. We aim to represent all people, everyone deserves pleasure. Especially if someone is transitioning and perhaps doesn’t have the full education or knowledge of the different types of pleasure they can have. We feel it’s really important to offer beyond our products.

Representation is a way for someone to connect and explore their identity. Also, for those who don’t identify as LGBTQ, it’s great to highlight this so that we can provide positive insights normalization to their lives and their sexualities and have a really safe platform for them to express themselves, because not only day-to-day, they may not feel safe expressing themselves. But being sexual is such a vulnerable thing;  it’s very fucking scary.

And even myself, being pansexual, just buying and researching these products has made me feel a lot more empowered to share that to my community. You know, 10 years ago, I would have been scared as shit to wear a strap-on, and now I have, like, 10 different kinds. I also wanted to note it’s important to me we hire sex workers, people who have weed offenses, and single moms to work for us and give those people equal opportunities.

What kind of topics do you cover in your blog?

In our blog, we aim to have a diverse amount of topics to touch on. We use our blog posts as an outlet for our community to have access again to those educational resources regarding sexual health and wellness. Recently, we discussed cervical cancer and the importance of getting frequent screenings; we also touch on how to use certain sex toys such as vibrators and glass wands, and how to achieve those orgasms. Especially with tools you may not be familiar with, and different materials, we feature temperature/sensory play by freezing or heating up sex toys. Our community has responded really positively to our blog posts, and they appreciate us for making these topics that have been deemed so taboo, so we are also working on providing more blog posts.

How does The Horny Stoner provide inclusivity?

I think it’s important—Our whole vibe on our website is not to be fucking boring. I think again, when you go into a head shop, it’s catered to a white male. They might even treat you like you don’t know what you’re talking about. At The Horny Stoner, we’re going to take into account and provide an option for every aesthetic. Our products are inclusive for all sexualities and genders, and we provide a blend of different categories. Even our clothing line sizes range to 5XL to embrace all body types.

Do you have any words for your fellow BudSluts?
Don’t be ashamed of your sexuality; continue the conversation of breaking your boundaries, and remember foreplay, honesty, and communication are so important in the bedroom. We also need to break the stigma that stoners can’t be successful. It’s really uplifting and empowering being able to provide a platform for people who smoke weed and people who like to have sex. We’ve taken back the use of “slut” as an empowering term, and I think it’s really giving a big “fuck you” to people who aren’t talking to their kids about sex or people getting arrested for weed.

Anything else you’d like to plug or mention?

I’m the host of a top-charting show called The Slutrepreneur Podcast. We endorse sex positivity there, definitely the horny side of things. We also have two other sister stores, Alien Outfitters, which is out-of-this world clothing, accessories, and future fashion. We also have a self defense store for women called Blades For Babes. Protection is so important, especially to young females; it’s a clear problem. So giving, the tools to make people feel safe and to talk about safety.
