Best Things to Do While High
1. Watch Movies or Play Video Games
Let’s start out with something very simple but nonetheless enjoyable. Put on a good flick or plug in your gaming console. Today, there isn’t any shortage of good content, whether free or paid. So, why not take advantage of it? Maybe there was a movie you wanted to watch for some time now. Now is the best time to watch it. Similarly, there is an abundance of video games out there. You don’t even need to have the skills of a master player to enjoy them. So, as cannabis does its magic on you, unwind your mind further by playing games.
2. Meditate
Meditation is a great activity for both introverted and extroverted cannabis smokers. Just sit cross-legged in a distraction-free space, close your eyes, and breathe. Observe your thoughts as they come and go without trying to think over them. Cannabis intensifies this process of meditation, allowing for more ‘second attention.’ This is the part of your brain that observes itself. Moreover, if you regularly meditate without cannabis, doing so while being high will enable you to gain more insights into your internal thought pattern.
3. Do Something That You Have Been Putting Off
We usually avoid activities that seem boring or tedious. Some examples include tracking your finances or doing chores like cleaning bathroom walls. However, these are essential, and putting them off will not serve you well over the long term. What better time to do them than while being high? You’ll be amazed at how much more enjoyable these activities seem under marijuana’s influence. To make these tasks easier, we suggest you take a strain that boosts focus and concentration. Examples include Jack Herer and Sour Diesel.
4. Let Out Your Creativity in Words
Writing is a therapeutic activity for many. However, sometimes, the words just do not hit the paper. Also called writer’s block, it is certainly an unpleasant situation. Marijuana can help you overcome it by boosting your creative juices. Did you know that the legendary writer Stephen King wrote many of his award-winning novels while high? To take your writing game to the next level, we recommend ingesting low doses (5.5 THC). This amount will help you think more divergently, enhancing your writing skills and helping you create your next masterpiece!
5. Connect With the Nature
Hiking outdoors in nature is a wonderful activity on its own. But when you do it while being high, you really get to connect with nature on a deeper level. Imperial College London’s Centre for Psychedelic Research, in their study, has found a strong relationship between the amount of lifetime use of cannabis and nature-relatedness and increases in nature-relatedness from before to after cannabis use. They found that nature-relatedness dramatically increased within two and four weeks and two years after the psychedelic experience. Participants’ experiences heightened feelings of “well-being” when their attitudes toward nature increased. The smell of the fresh air, the vibrant greenery, and the nature sounds like the chirping of the birds have healing effects that get amplified with marijuana.
6. Try out Fun Crafts
Like writing, trying out fun crafts is another way to let your creative juices flow out. Here are three interesting things to try when you are high.
Make Candles
Get some wax chips and wicks. Now put your wax chips in a pot and when it turns liquid, pour the wax into empty weed jars. Add a wick before it sets. An option is to add dyes and fragrances.
Paper Marbling
Spray shaving cream in a baking dish. Now, dot it with your favorite food coloring. Drag the fork tines through the top layer as you swirl the colors. Press the paper onto the mixture’s surface. Peel it out and take out the remaining shaving cream. Voila! You just made your own rolling papers!
Make Your Own Pot-Smoking Buddy
Are you stoned alone in your apartment on a Friday evening? You might have no human company, but you can DIY one for yourself. Not sure what we mean? Well, go find a sock you don’t want anymore and start gluing things onto it. Stop when you feel like it resembles the shape of your new best friend.
