Cannabis Meets Intimacy: Upstate Mary’s WILDCAT Sex Oil Takes Cannabis Culture to New Heights
In a move that boldly intertwines liberation, healing, and pleasure, the women behind Upstate Mary have dropped a literal bombshell in the sexual wellness space. Meet WILDCAT Sex Oil: a THC-infused lubricant designed to help you feel everything. Yes, that’s right: cannabis has officially entered the bedroom, and it’s never felt more revolutionary.
Founded by Melissa Eppard and Michelle Bergkamp, Upstate Mary has long been known for championing clean, inclusive, body-positive wellness rooted in the land and lived experience. But now, with New York’s adult-use recreational cannabis legalization in full swing and a long-awaited dispensary license in hand, the duo is taking things up a notch—or ten.
WILDCAT, the newest jewel in Upstate Mary’s Farm to Bedroom™ crown, marks the company’s first foray into THC-infused intimacy products. With 5mg of THC and 10mg of CBD per serving, this isn’t just a lube—it’s a whole-body experience designed to enhance sensitivity, promote relaxation, and unlock pleasure in ways that feel both grounded and otherworldly.
But make no mistake: this isn’t about gimmicks. It’s about healing, reclaiming, and rediscovering connection—especially for those whose bodies have carried trauma, change, and survival.
Born from Experience, Rooted in the Earth
Co-founder Melissa Eppard knows firsthand how crucial sexual wellness can be after a cancer diagnosis. A breast cancer survivor, she created Upstate Mary for people navigating the intimate aftershocks of treatment, childbirth, menopause, and more. “THC has the power to be a game-changer for so many people—both in and out of the bedroom,” she says. “Cannabis offers significant relief when used in personal lubricants, enhancing blood flow, promoting relaxation, and alleviating pain and anxiety.”
Every Upstate Mary product is named for a Catskill mountain peak, grounding their collection in the land that inspires it. And WILDCAT is no exception: it’s wild, untamed, and elevation-minded. Just like the women who made it.

Not Your Average Sex Oil
Upstate Mary’s collection already includes cult-favorite CBD-only offerings like Slide Intimacy Oil, Friday Arousal Oil, and Hunter Melts, all designed to support comfort, blood flow, and connection. But WILDCAT is the first product to tap into the full potential of THC. Think: sensuality meets science, and sexy meets soul-care.
Pleasure Is Political
