Fun things to do while high with friends

So, what are the best things to do while high with your friends? Let’s take a look.

Puff Pass and Paint

Marijuana & THC is great for activating the creative zones in your mind. Maybe you can’t paint with a clear head, but you think about giving it a try when you are feeling lifted.

Go to the Movies

Stoner Movies Scream Getting High

Going to the movies has always been one of the most fun things to do when stoned, but that has perhaps never been truer than it is right now.

Just think about the movies that come out these days. Big blockbusters with stellar effects and out of this world backgrounds and characters.

You don’t even have to be a geek to really enjoy Star Wars or the Avengers when stoned.

It’s like movies are made for stoners these days, so get lifted, and get going.

Go on an Outdoor Adventure or Hike

Smoking Marijuana and Hiking is Fun

Movies are great, but they can’t compare to a rewarding experience with mother nature, right? There is actually a scientific element to it. Interacting with nature can reduce anxiety, and even lower your blood pressure, making it a great way to enjoy your afternoon and improve your health.

There are loads of different things to do with friends while high outdoors. Fishing, hiking, a nice trip to the park.

If you live in Denver, you might think about hitting the slopes or going on a scenic mountain hike.

Live in Portland? Try going kayaking down Willamette River. It’s a great way to experience nature, while also getting a majestic look a the cities skyline.

Seattle? Go on over to Olympic Sculpture Park. Take in the scenery, and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a while.

Oakland? Maybe you want to head on over to Lake Merrit, or the surrounding parkland. Great for hikes, or even for a little bit of canoeing.

And of course, our pals in Brooklyn will want to head over to Coney Island and take in the boardwalk and all of the other fun activities.

Last but not least, Boston! If you live in the Boston area you really can’t beat the Kingdom Trails. A truly majestic place to go biking and experience panoramic views of mother nature.

And what about the people in the rest of the country? Perhaps folks living in places where cannabis isn’t quite so legally accessible?

If you don’t have the pleasure of living in one of these green-friendly communities, there are still plenty of different ways to experience nature. It can be as simple as finding a nearby park and going for a little walk.

With the right strain, even the little things can be an adventure.

Play Marijuana Games

Marijuana games are truly a great way to bring people together. They are fun, usually free, and they can lead to legitimate bonding if done right. Here are ten games that you really should try.

Never Have I Ever

Same way the game has always been played, but with one twist. When you have done the “never have I ever” action, you take a hit of bud.

Bong Pong

Exactly like beer pong except that you commemorate successful shots with a toke instead of a drink. It’s much better.

Hold Your Smoke

For hold your smoke to work best, you need a fairly sizable group of people. It’s a simple game. Circle up, and start puff, puff, passing. The idea is to hold your smoke until the joint comes back to you.

If you don’t manage it, you’re out.

Jenga with a Twist

Just like regular Jenga, except the pieces have instructions written on them. Each time you remove a block, you read the inscription and do what it says. Generally, the instructions are smoking-related.

Cards Against Humanity

Technically this doesn’t have to be a cannabis game, but a little bit of green fortification will help to open up your creativity.

The Quintessential Drinking Game. But With Cannabis

One of the most prominent drinking game is to watch a movie, and take a shot anytime characters use a certain phrase. Naturally, this is a game that works well with pot as well.

For added fun, try watching a stoner flick while you do it.

Marijuana Related Board Games

There are lots of pot-related board games out there that will make a perfect accompaniment that might help you make the most of your gathering.

Non-Marijuana Related Board Games

The game doesn’t have to be about pot to be fun. Even Monopoly can be a good time when you’ve got good friends and good kush around. But good luck choosing a banker.

Would You Rather

The questions will start to get pretty creative. You can count on that.

Twister

A little bit of pot will make Twister feel a whole lot less awkward.

Cannabis Cooking

Hey, the munchies will creep up on you sooner or later. When they do it will be time for some cannabis cooking.

There are actually cannabis cooking classes available in many cities, which will be a great way for you and your friends to enjoy a tasty, fun common experience.

Deep Conversations

And of course, there is also plenty of merit in having a good old fashioned stoned conversation. Pot can bring out deep thoughts, so let them flow freely, and point them in the direction of a good buddy.

Writing While High

Writing while high is fairly controversial. Does it work? Doesn’t it? Creativity in an altered state of mind is not exactly new. We all know that Papa Hemingway liked his booze. And Hunter S. Thompson and William S. Burroughs would take, well. Anything.

But what about true blue stoner writers?
There are more than a few famous writers who have at least dabbled. Stephen King, Chuck Palahniuk, even Maya Angelo. Michael Chabon.

So there is plenty of history to it. Are people more creative when they write high? It ultimately depends on the individual. Creativity is difficult to scale in an objective sense, but there is certainly merit to giving marijuana a shot the next time you write.

It may just lower your inhibitions, and get the words flowing faster than ever before.

Things to Think About While High

Contrary to what your DARE officer said, cannabis can also be really great for deep thinking. People use cannabis for everything from mediation to plain and simple deep thought sessions.

There are lots of things to think about while high. Relationships, the meaning of life, the vastness of the universe. The mystery of consciousness. The impossibility or certainty of eternity.

You can make it as academic or as informal as you want.

Meditation while high is also great. The pot can help you clear your mind and reside firmly in the moment and get into a deeper state of relaxation.

That said, if you are an anxious stoner, you might not have the deep experience you are looking for.

Things to Look at While High

Last but not least, let’s talk things to look at while high. Stoner art is abundant. If you want to look at trippy art while you smoke, there are lots of Twitter and Instagram accounts dedicated to exactly that.

But then art is also very subjective. It really all depends on what you like. For example, for many, it doesn’t get much trippier than a Goya painting.

Just do you. Go online, go to a museum, or look through a great art book. If you want to go classic, Goya, Picasso, and Mondrian all produced large bodies of work that might make the stoned eye pause for a while. 

Or if you’re looking for some trippy, psychedeltic videos, go to Youtube and see what you can find. Here one example of a crazy video to look at high.

Just pick something that you like though, and there is no going wrong.
