I recently wrote an article analyzing the “why” behind your consumption of cannabis – however, in this article we’re going to be taking a closer look at the “what” you can do when you’re zooted.
There are an infinite number of activities one can do while being high and by no means is this article based on any real science. You’ll quickly learn this from the very first answer we’ll be covering. Rather, the inspiration for this article comes from a Reddit Post that asked the simple question;
“What is your favorite thing to do while High on Marijuana?”
So let’s see what several redditors had to say in response to this question.
Masturbation…
The very first “thing” to do while high on marijuana seems to be “yourself!” Of course, this was posted by a Redditor that goes by the handle “Awkward Improvements” and was most likely meant as a joke. However, if you’ve ever masturbated while being high on cannabis you would most probably agree that masturbation on weed is “different” than it is without weed.
Whether it’s your “favorite” thing to do is subjective – but I’m sure there are plenty of young adults who like to smoke up and bang one out real quick as a form of entertainment.
Personally, I prefer to do much more nuanced things on cannabis than staying home and whacking it all day – however, considering that there were numerous upvotes on this particular comment, I decided to keep it.
Watching TV or Movies
Redditor JeffThompson2002 said;
“Watch TV or movies. Bobs Burgers and King of the Hill is pretty fuckin funny to watch, so is anything with Gordon Ramsay while I have the munchies so I can die screaming while eating as he's screaming at people and calling them fat sacks of crap and useless donkeys.”
Cannabis really allows you to get “into” whatever it is you are doing. You can easily get lost in a story or simply space out while watching some “mind candy” for a bit. Of course, what you watch is 100% a subjective preference, but many stoners would agree that watching a movie or binging a show while smoking doobies is definitely a fun activity to do.
Once more, this is something you do sparingly – if you’re smoking weed and watching tv all day, maybe try to go outside and sit in the sun for a while – get some of that Vitamin D!
Enjoy Mental Quiescence
User Demurist said;
“Enjoy the absence of intrusive thoughts.”
Sometimes cannabis can help quiet the mind. This is especially true if you’ve been worrying about something for days. Cannabis can interrupt this negative feedback loop and allow you to choose more “satisfying thoughts”.
However, I wouldn’t say that cannabis completely silences the mind. Rather, it changes the current of the thoughts – from one focal point to another. Typically, the thoughts you begin to focus on while being high are far more entertaining and joyous.
Learn Stuff
Believe it or not, but stoners actually like to learn stuff. They simply don’t like learning shit that is being forced on them. User, RedHeadWolf said, “Watch educational videos” and this is true for many people.
There’s a lot of educational material on the internet. I personally try to learn new things all the time – things outside of my comfort zone. Why? Because it makes my mind more flexible and I like learning new things.
Many cannabis users like to get high and learn new things, experiment with ideas and just grow as individuals. Try going down a fungal rabbit hole on the internet – you’ll get lost for days!
Listen to Music
Listen to a song you heard a thousand times when you are sober while high on cannabis – suddenly you pick up on little nuances within the track. The bass, the percussion, a hidden voice in the background – there is a deeper dimension of listening to music while you are high.
Make music & anything else that’s creative
If you are musically inclined, writing song or plucking on your guitar strings might very well be your favorite thing to do while high. However, anything “creative” is just as fun to do while you are high. There are countless songs and book ideas I have come up with while being high.
Being a writer, it’s in my nature to explore new ideas and merge concepts together. When you are high, whether you are painting, dancing, making music, building stuff – creativity is definitely a fun way to spend your high.
Cooking
Many cannabis users enjoy cooking while high. It is therapeutic yet simultaneously solves your “munchie” problem. If you prepare well in advanced, you can even become a better cook by planning out an elaborate recipe and cooking it while high.
You will either have the meal of a lifetime or an interesting story – but there are no downsides to cooking while high.
Stargazing
Reddit user “Split_cheekz” said, “Star gaze. Also grocery shopping for dinner lol.”
Getting blazed under the stars is definitely a memorable cannabis experience. You can easily get lost in thought and allow the mind to wander freely. While not many people stargaze – going outside with a Spliff and watching the night sky is definitely recommended.
Socialize
Another fun activity is to hang out with friends. Cannabis perfectly integrates into social settings and it is as user “tri333ple” said;
Hang out with friends, have some beers, play uno, and whenever you draw a card you sip a beer. All of this while listening to some 80s synthwave on YouTube. Trust, great time with the homies when you do this!!
Perhaps not so much the synthwave, but hanging out with friends is definitely a fun activity while high. There simply is a social element to smoking weed. You can get deep, shallow, be serious or lighthearted – cannabis enables awesome conversations.
What am I missing?
Of course, the above mentioned “favorite things” are highly subjective and limited to a small group of people who answered the question. Why not help us elaborate and tell us in the comment section what are your favorite activities to do whilst high AF?
