When sharing some bud with buddies, there’s virtually zero limit to the things you can do, but we’ve created a list of the absolute best things to do while baked.
As long as you’re staying away from operating motor vehicles, or doing any sort of work where precise mental faculty is a must, doing just about anything high can be pretty fun, especially when you throw a few choice friends into the list. So even though there aren’t really too many tasks and adventures that are off the table, we’ve thrown together a list of our ten favorite things to do while high, just in case you’re running low on ideas.
1. Grow your own weed swap
Best Strain: All of them
What You’ll Need
- Weed Seeds
- Potting Soil
- Seed Cups
- Herb
- Your Favorite Smoking Device
Hosting a weed swap is excellent, because it’s akin to bringing the Cannabis Cup straight into your own home. Start by collecting some decent weed seeds, potting mix, and small seedling pots. Then invite all your best buds over and tell them to bring their favorite bag o’ weed and smoking device. Throughout the night, try all the strains that everyone has brought with them, and all of the different delivery systems. Intermix the sampling with hosting a short tutorial on how to start growing your very own herb at home! This way you can send everyone home with their very own seedling as a party favor. If there’s herb left over, participants can swag out hugs with each other to curate a varied collection for personal enjoyment.
2. Watch classic stoner flicks
Best Strain: Indica heavy blend
What You’ll Need
- Classic Stoner Flicks
- Sweet Video Setup
- Munchies
There’s a long and glorious list of some of the best, and most classic, stoner flicks. They range from comedies (Half Baked), to drama (Friday), even a few thrillers exist (Savages). Ask your friends to tote along their personal favorites and have a little movie fest. Make sure to provide a ton of comfy blankets, pillows, and furniture prime for lounging. Between films, take a minute to hold an informal rating forum where you can talk about all the things you like, and didn’t like about the film. Also, prepare Indica blends work best for these nights, because a straight indica may have you assed out before the end of the movie. Movies are great, but have you ever tried watching them...on weed?
3. Go for a hike
Best Strain: Sativa
What You’ll Need
- Well known trail
- Comfy footwear
- LOTS of water
- Small picnic
Weed hikes are great things to do while high with outdoorsy and adventurous friends. There’s nothing quite like hitting the back nine and getting stoned out of your gourd. Sativas are the ideal strain for this because they promote energy and some sources even suggest they may help motivate and focus people who are otherwise exercise-phobic. Getting high while getting, well… high (up in the mountains) can be a truly breathtaking experience. And not just because you may be a wee bit out of shape. Nothing like a gorgeous sunset and killer views, shared with your closest friends and some herb. Cautionary tale: just make sure that the trail you choose isn’t one you’ll need to drive to get to, or choose a designated driver before hand. Also, stick to trails that you’re already familiar with so you don’t wind up lost in more than just your thoughts.
4. Start a kickball league
Best Strain: Sativa
What You’ll Need
- A large rubber ball
- A baseball diamond or yard bases
- At least 10 friends
Ah, kickball. For just about everyone, this lackadaisical sport brings back some of the best childhood memories around. The beauty of this particular sport is that it doesn’t require any God like coordination or even an extra impressive level of fitness. At minimum, you’ll need about 10 friends, but kickball definitely follows the rule “the more, the merrier”. If you have a bud friendly park in your neighborhood, try and get a pickup game going, snagging any bored passers by. Guaranteed just about anyone who jumps in will have the time of their lives. Try and make it a weekly thing to get some low key, high fun, exercise on the regular.
5. Cuddle puddle
Best Strain: Indica
What You’ll Need
- Friends
Cuddle puddles are a fantastic way to get some purely platonic human touch on the books. Essentially, they work a bit like massage trains. So one friend will sit behind the other, while rubbing their shoulders. The friend receiving the massage will sit behind yet another friend, rubbing their shoulders… and so on and so on. Physical contact is super important for just about everyone. Cuddling has been shown to help ease depression, improve friendship bonding, and even reduce chronic pain. Making cuddle puddles easily the best things to do while high with friends. Cuddling is so important, in fact, that you can now hire a professional cuddler. But why pay for something that your friends can give each other for free?
6. Zone
Best Strain: Indica heavy blend
What You’ll Need
- Good music/comedy
- Comfy space
- Good vibes
Zoning days are perhaps the most classic things to do when high. Invite some friends over and just zone out, listening to your favorite music or stand-up comedy. Zoning is the perfect way to connect with those introverted friends of yours and a decent indica blend will help. Caution yourself against a full indica, as they’re known to promote sleep. But a solid blend will pump out those relaxing vibes while keeping your mind active enough to appreciate what it is you’re listening to.
7. Take a Yoga class
Best Strain: Indica heavy blend
What You’ll Need
- Yoga Instruction
- Comfy clothes
- Soothing music/Incense is a bonus
Either host a mini yoga class at home, or round up your best gang and find a great class nearby. Yoga is fantastic for keeping fit and easing aches and strains that daily muscle use can cause. The workout is pretty ideal for anyone at just about any fitness level and most poses can be amended to the participants comfort and skill level. Smoke some herb before you go to really be able to lean into your stretches and clear your mind. An indica heavy blend will help you unfocus mentally, while putting more attention and emphasis on what your body is telling you. Ideal for meditation as well, so be sure to close your session with a few thoughtful moments of silence.
8. Campfire on a beach
Best Strain: Start with a Sativa blend and work your way into an Indica blend
What You’ll Need
- Campfire friendly beach
- Wood
- Matches/lighter
- S’more fixin’s are a bonus
Spend the day crushing the waves or swimming off the heat with the heady and energy filled vibes that a good sativa will give you. Wind down the evening with a decent indica and just enjoy watching the flames crackle against the backdrop of the waves. It’s always great to through in a few campfire favorites in the ice chest: like s’mores, or hotdogs. Always stay hydrated and follow any rules that govern the beach. When you’re done, make sure that you fully smother your fire with sand, because forest fires or police intervention are definitely the biggest buzzkills.
9. Host a craft night
Best Strain: Sativa heavy blend
What You’ll Need
- Art ‘n’ Craft Supplies
Craft nights let your creative mind out to play, and depending on how your creative mind works- there are a few ways to set up an awesome craft night. One tried and tested method is to focus on one craft that you’re pretty good at. Tell your friends in advance what supplies they’ll need to bring, then host a mini tutorial on how to make that awesome thing that everyone always asks you about. Then different friends can host the craft night themselves, and teach you their fancy tricks. The other way to host a successful kush and create is to just have a ton of random art supplies strewn about. Invite your friends to bring any supplies of their own that they enjoy, and let loose. Build, create, draw whatever it is that strikes you in the moment and share some quiet time with those closest to you.
10. Host beerlympics
Best Strain: Sativa
What You’ll Need
- Beer pong
- Ladder ball
- Cornhole
- Slip n’ Slide
- Large whiteboard
- Winners podium/medals
- BBQ Supplies
Beerlympics are best for summertime and those crazy friends that we all have. To get the games going, collect as many yard games and drinking game setups that you can. The above is a short list of the more common specimens. Invite friends over and have them “pre-register” for the events they would be most likely to compete in. Create small elimination rosters and LET THE GAMES BEGIN. As people are competing throw together a nice potluck/bbq set up as your contenders will definitely require the foods. Winners should receive the most ridiculous and obnoxious homemade medals that you can think of. Word to the wise- if you host beerlympics once, definitely plan on hosting it again, and again, and again.
