A St. Louis native, Tanya Griffin, oOYes Founder & Sexpert, is passionate about sex and drugs and cannot wait to bring oOYes Edible Sex Play to Missouri dispensaries.
Always with a focus on women’s and family health, Griffin founded Kangaroo Kids in 1995, a St. Louis landmark that continues to help families with their parenting and breastfeeding needs.
“My journey has taken me from Colostrum to Cannabis to Cum”, Griffin says with an easy laugh. After years playing in healthcare, tech, branding and marketing with her firm, Water + Trees, she went on to build the first vertically integrated national cannabis franchise, opening the first of her dispensaries “a stone’s throw” from St. Louis in Sauget, IL before scaling and exiting to an MSO.
Taking on the third “C” (Cum), her latest venture, oOYes, is on a mission to help horny humans show up and stay present for oOrgasmic pleasure while blowing open the stigma and shame around sex and drugs.
oOYes
Griffin believes in adding value and building community. “oOYes is not just another lube company, we are having real conversations around getting high for pleasure, how to dose it, and dial it in”.
We certainly found this to be true, YestoSex offers ongoing advice across genders and sexual orientations with a deep dive into science, shame and culture.
Taking the free oOYes Sex Quiz was a great way to talk about sex. Not only do you get your kink score after answering “oOYes, oONo, or oOMaybeSo” to 100+ sex acts but you can discretely share it with your partner(s) disclosing what you may be willing to do together. Whether a threesome is on the table or not, it can certainly lead to a fun-filled night.
oOYes straddles the sexual wellness and cannabis industries while leaning into a 1960s-70s Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll vibe. The ecstatic sex products, which are designed to help horny humans show up and stay present during sex play are travel-sized, keeping that oOrgasm under $25.
oOYes Unplugged, FDA-cleared silicone lube and WET, dry mouth lozenges do not contain cannabinoids, while oOYes cannabinoid-rich lubes, elixirs, massage oil candle, daily sublingual, pre-rolls and beefused tantric honey each come with a kick of cannabis and signature orange cream terpenes.

Griffin is thrilled with her partnership with CLOVR Cannabis who will be bringing oOYesTHC to Missouri dispensaries with deliveries starting in March. oOYes currently sells in Illinois and will be heading soon after Missouri to dispensaries in Nevada and Colorado.
oOYesTHC infused Edible Sex Play lubes and elixirs are made with all natural ingredients. Each comes with a kick of THC, CBD and/or CBG, and flavored with limonene-rich, orange cream terpenes. With no added sugar, oOYes gets its orange cream taste from, limonene, linalool and beta-caryophyllene, terpenes potentially known for their mood-boosting, stress-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and aphrodisiac qualities.
Going Down is a 50mg THC elixir that comes with a dropper designed to be used during oral sex. Roll Baby Roll, oOYes’ Roll–on Sex Oil tastes and feels like Going Down but has a roller ball applicator for use on “honeypot, peach or lips” and comes with 50mg THC and 50mg CBD. Going Down and Roll Baby Roll are both formulated with an organic coconut oil base which means they do not play well with latex, so make sure to “lick it clean” before using condoms or toys.

If looking for an oOYes product that does play well with condoms and toys, “get your motor rolling” with Start Me Up, oOYes’ water-based likable glide that comes with a 50mg kick of THC and CBG and a subtle taste of orange cream.
CLOVR and oOYes are planning to launch additional edible sex play products including Bee Wild Tantric Honey, Natural Woman (daily sublingual) and pre-rolls, Free Your Mind, and Super Freak to help get and keep you in the mood.
While Griffin is not shy talking about Sex and Drugs and reminding us how well they pair with pleasure she does believe in playing responsibly. To this end, she founded SavedMyLife.org, a non-profit that helps provide access to free, lifesaving Narcan(r) where people work, live, and play in Illinois.
“We all need to be practicing oOrgamsic pleasure and nothing takes you there quite like cannabis. It’s time to “Just Say Yes” and take on the War On Drugs head on!”
