The 21-Laws of Stoner by Reginald Reefer

It’s 2023 and I decided why not, let’s create some fictional laws that nobody will abide by. Or perhaps, I may even inspire some of you to try and experiment with these laws. Who knows, maybe you’ll like it.

Of course, by no means do I believe that people will follow these laws to the key. I mean, some might - however, the vast majority of the people who will be reading this article will be looking for specific laws that resonate with them.

I’ve been smoking for twenty years and throughout that time I have acquired some insight on the nature of the “high” and therefore, I decided to draft up some “laws”.

The anarchist inside of me reminds all of you that “laws are meant to be broken”.

Nonetheless, if you want to discover how to always have a great high - keep on reading!

Set the vibe: Before sparking up, take a moment to set the vibe. Setting the vibe is crucial to a great cannabis experience. Take a moment to assess your surroundings and prepare your space for maximum relaxation. Dim the lights or light some candles to create a calming atmosphere. If you're with friends, put on some tunes or create a playlist that fits the mood. Consider adding some aromatherapy with a diffuser or burning some incense for an added sensory experience. Make sure your seating arrangements are comfortable and create a space for easy access to snacks and water. By taking a few extra minutes to set up the vibe, you can ensure that you are setting yourself up for a great high and a memorable experience..
Choose your materials wisely: Ah, the materials. The foundation of a truly great cannabis experience. When choosing your materials, it's important to think about quality. You don't want to settle for subpar flower or shoddy rolling papers. No, no, no. You want the good stuff. The kind of flower that's so sticky and delicious-looking that it practically jumps into your hands. The kind of rolling papers that make you feel like a true artisan. And let's not forget the accessories – the grinder that grinds like a dream, the perfectly shaped pipe that fits just right in your hand. Invest in high-quality materials, my friends, and you'll never regret it.
Mind your dosage: I know it's tempting to blaze up a whole joint or take a big hit from your bong, but let's not forget that too much of a good thing can quickly turn into a bad thing. You don't want to end up in a green out, feeling paranoid or anxious. That's why it's important to be mindful of your dosage, especially when trying new strains or products. Start low, and gradually work your way up to find the perfect level of high. Trust me, you'll enjoy the experience much more if you're not overwhelmed by too much weed…unless of course, that’s what you’re looking for.
Keep water on hand: Ah, yes, cottonmouth, the bane of any stoner's existence. It's important to stay hydrated while enjoying your favorite flower. Not only will it help with the cottonmouth, but it can also prevent headaches and fatigue. Water is the best option, but if you're feeling fancy, you can also opt for a hydrating sports drink or coconut water. And don't forget, staying hydrated can also enhance your high, as it helps to circulate the THC throughout your body. So keep some water on hand, and drink up to maximize your cannabis experience.
Snacks are a must: It's no secret that cannabis consumption can make you crave some seriously delicious snacks. So, make sure you have a variety of tasty treats on hand to satisfy those munchies. Choose your snacks wisely, whether it's salty or sweet, savory or spicy, make sure to have a mix of all to keep your taste buds on their toes. You can never go wrong with classic chips and dip or fresh fruit, but feel free to get creative with your snack choices. Remember, snacks can take your experience to the next level, so choose wisely and munch on!
Share with friends: Sharing your cannabis experience with friends is a crucial part of the stoner culture. It's a way to build trust, intimacy, and community. Not only does sharing with others increase the good vibes, but it can also help you discover new strains, products, and methods of consumption. The more you share, the more you learn, and the more you grow as a stoner. Plus, sharing your stash with your buds is a surefire way to make new friends and deepen existing relationships. So, the next time you light up, make sure to invite your friends and share the love.
Experiment with strains: Ah, experimenting with different strains - a stoner's favorite pastime! Trying new strains is like embarking on a new adventure. It's a chance to discover something new about yourself and how you experience cannabis. Each strain offers its own unique effects, aromas, and flavors, so don't be afraid to branch out and try something new.

It's important to keep in mind that every strain affects everyone differently, and what works for one person may not work for another. Don't be discouraged if a strain doesn't work for you, and don't be afraid to try something outside of your comfort zone. Who knows, you might just find your new favorite strain!
Get outside: One of the most fantastic things about cannabis is how it can make you appreciate the world around you in a new way. And one way to take that experience to the next level is by taking it outside. Whether you're walking through a park or sitting in your backyard, getting out in nature can enhance your high in ways you may not expect. The fresh air and natural surroundings can help you feel more connected to the world around you and provide a sense of peace and relaxation. So, grab your favorite strain and head outside for a little extra zen!
Stay present: Cannabis can be a great tool for relaxation and mindfulness, so why not use it to your advantage? When you're high as balls, become mindful of everything that's going on. Use cannabis to listen to your intuition and connect with your inner thoughts and emotions. Pay attention to your body and how it's feeling, and let your mind wander freely without judgment. By staying present and focusing on the moment, you can truly experience the benefits of cannabis and connect with yourself on a deeper level. So next time you light up, remember to take a moment to tune in and let your mind and body guide you.
Try new consumption methods: When it comes to cannabis, there's a whole world of consumption methods waiting to be explored. Don't limit yourself to just one way of enjoying the herb. Get creative and try new methods like edibles, concentrates, or even topicals. Each method delivers a unique experience that can be tailored to your specific needs and desires.

Edibles offer a longer-lasting and more intense high, while concentrates provide a quick and powerful hit. Topicals can offer localized relief and relaxation without any psychoactive effects. So, if you're feeling adventurous, go ahead and try something new. Who knows, you might just discover your new favorite way to consume cannabis.
Use scent to enhance the experience: Aromatherapy can play a powerful role in enhancing your cannabis experience. Consider incorporating scented candles, essential oils, or incense into your smoking environment to create a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. Train your mind to associate the aroma with the relaxed feeling of being stoned, so that even when you're not consuming cannabis, the scent can still help you feel calm and relaxed. This is called anchoring in NLP. With practice, you can use this technique to enhance your overall sense of well-being, both with and without cannabis."

In other words, by anchoring the scent to the feeling of being stoned, you can use the aroma to create a relaxing atmosphere and enhance your overall sense of well-being, even when you're not consuming cannabis.
Set intentions for your experience: Take a moment before sparking up to set your intentions for the session. By doing so, you prompt your mind to have a deeper level of enjoyment of the experience. For instance, if you want to relax, visualize how you would feel when the cannabis kicks in and how the joint or bong hit made you feel exactly how you imagined you would. If you need healing, visualize how the cannabis takes away the pain and promotes wellness. When you set your intention, your mind is more attuned to the experience, and you can achieve the desired effects more easily. So, take a deep breath, focus your mind, and let the cannabis work its magic."
Connect with others: cannabis is not only a solo activity, but it can also be a tool for socializing and connecting with others. When you smoke with others, it can create a sense of camaraderie and can facilitate deep and meaningful conversations. The relaxed state that cannabis induces can help break down barriers and allow people to connect on a deeper level. So, the next time you're smoking with friends or new acquaintances, use it as an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and build stronger relationships. Who knows, you might just make a new best friend or strengthen an existing bond.
Incorporate mindfulness practices: One of the most powerful benefits of cannabis is its ability to enhance our experiences of relaxation and mindfulness. But did you know that by incorporating mindfulness practices like meditation or yoga into your cannabis routine, you can take your high to the next level?

Meditating while high can help you deepen your focus and cultivate a more peaceful state of mind. Yoga can help you connect with your body and enhance physical sensations. By incorporating these practices into your cannabis routine, you can tap into the full potential of the plant and experience a deeper level of relaxation and focus.
Embrace creativity: When it comes to unlocking creativity, cannabis can be a game-changer. The herb has been known to inspire artists, musicians, and writers for generations. With the right strain and mindset, you can tap into your creative side and let your imagination run wild. Try exploring new forms of self-expression, whether it’s painting, drawing, or writing. Who knows, you may discover a hidden talent or passion that you never knew you had. Just remember, creativity is not just about creating something amazing, it's also about the process and enjoying the journey. So embrace your inner artist and see where the cannabis-inspired creativity takes you.
Be prepared for unexpected effects: When it comes to cannabis, it's important to understand that everyone experiences it differently. Sometimes you may get an unexpected effect that you weren't prepared for. If this happens, don't panic. Take a deep breath, find a quiet place to sit, and let it ride out. Remember that cannabis is a temporary state of mind and body, and the effects will eventually wear off. If you feel anxious or overwhelmed, seek support from friends or a professional if necessary. Always remember that safety comes first and taking a break is always an option if needed. So stay calm, and just ride it out.
Use music to enhance the experience: MMusic and cannabis have been a match made in heaven since the dawn of time. There's something magical about the way sound waves travel through your body and merge with the effects of cannabis. The right music can take you on a journey, enhancing your mood and the overall experience. So, why not create a playlist of your favorite songs or albums before your next smoking session? Choose music that matches the vibe you want to achieve, whether it's relaxing, energizing, or trippy. Trust me; it'll take your high to a whole new level of enjoyment.
Make your environment comfortable: Creating a comfortable environment is crucial to elevating your cannabis experience. Whether you're at home or out in nature, it's important to make sure you feel safe and relaxed. Invest in comfortable seating or a cozy blanket to snuggle up in. Consider incorporating ambient lighting, such as string lights or candles, to create a relaxing atmosphere. It's also important to make sure your environment is free from any potential stressors or distractions. This will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the moment and enjoy the experience to the fullest. Remember, the environment can have a huge impact on your high, so make it a priority to create a space that feels like a sanctuary.

Of course, many of us smoke while we’re already doing shit, but having a “Smoke Zen Area” can go a long way.
Practice gratitude: Taking time to practice gratitude while using cannabis can have a powerful impact on your experience. Cultivating feelings of appreciation and thankfulness can help shift your mindset to a more positive and uplifting place. It can be as simple as thinking about the small things in life that bring you joy, or expressing gratitude towards the people in your life who have positively impacted you.

So take a moment to reflect and appreciate the good things around you, and let cannabis help amplify those feelings.
