25 Activities To Do While High (With Suitable Strains)

So, you are about to kick back and smoke your favourite strain. Whether you smoke occasionally or daily, you find you tend to enjoy the same routine when you get high: Hanging out in a group, the playful chitchats are a great time, while solo sessions let you indulge in some quality me-time as you zap through TV channels. After a while, the munchies set in. Sweet and salty snacks or junk food are the most popular choices to satisfy the desire.

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with this regimen! However, there are so many activities that could be great fun to try out. Especially with the right strain of bud, some activities turn into truly heightened experiences. Even boring daily tasks seem extra awesome!

25 ACTIVITIES YOU NEED TO TRY WHILE HIGH

Here are 25 activities you can do while high, along with the strain most suitable for that activity. Don’t limit yourself to just one or two experiences; try all the activities that pique your interest!

1. GO FOR A WALK

Go for a walk through the city, a nearby park, or even just a few blocks around your own neighbourhood: You will experience each environment in a new way. Suddenly, you will catch little details that never really stood out before. At first, it might be hard to motivate yourself to start walking. Once you do, however, you will immediately notice how nice it feels. At a brisk pace, it might even feel a bit like you are floating. Physical activity also helps stimulate brain activity, intensifying and possibly prolonging your high too.

2. WATCH A MOVIE

This might seem like an obvious choice, but we don’t mean just any movie, of course. While finding something on TV could do fine, there are a lot of movies that appear to be specially developed for watching while stoned. The sense of humour, random situations, and often ridiculous plots of stoner comedies will have you completely drawn in. Also, more artistic or critically acclaimed movies can be interesting, or even your favourite animated film. Click here for a list of 10 stoner movie suggestions.

3. PLAY VIDEO GAMES

Even when sober, video games have the potential to suck you in and make you completely forget about time. Being stoned adds even more dimension to the virtual experience of gaming. The colourful graphics and effects seem even more vivid, augmenting the satisfying feeling of completing a mission. You could start a single-player game, gather a bunch of friends, or play with a group online. In this enhanced state of mind, it’s also interesting to see if it enhances your skills too.

4. LISTEN TO MUSIC

Put on headphones to immerse yourself fully in the music, or play it out loud and allow the melodies to fill up the room. The rhythm, beat, vocals, and each little sound effect seem to come to the fore much clearer when stoned. Even your favourite tunes will have a new flavour to them. We recommend you also discover new music, trying genres you normally don’t relate to. You might end up appreciating new styles in an altered state of mind. Deep house has a repetitiveness easy to get lost into, while ambient and reggae will chill you out to the max. Jazz or heavy metal can turn out very interesting as well.

5. START WRITING

If writing is something you normally don’t really do, it’s still fun to see what happens when you put pen to paper. Maybe you’ll write a super-ridiculous story that’s fun to read again when you’re sober. Maybe you will put all your emotions into a personal letter to someone. Making lists can also be entertaining. You never know what you will come up with when making a baked bucket list. You could even make a whole new list of things to do while high; but review all these ideas sober before you do them stoned.

6. GET CREATIVE

Mind-expanding substances can really help get your creative juices flowing, so it’s the perfect time to focus on some art projects. Great ideas keep popping up, with colourful visions that are easier to tap into. Even if they don’t turn out so well, the process will be fun anyway. Go ahead and start drawing, painting, composing music, creating graphics, or whatever you feel like doing. It might end up a total masterpiece.

7. TREAT YOUR TASTE BUDS

At some point, you will get hungry. Instead of ordering pizza or stuffing your face with potato chips, try something completely new. Order something you have never had before and let the taste and aroma surprise you. You could also think about this in advance to make sure you are stocked on groceries. Start cooking to see which creative food combinations you can come up with, adding a whole new range of special dishes to your personal repertoire.

8. (RE)CONNECT SOCIALLY

The right strain of weed can make you very talkative. In a group, this can facilitate amusing banter loaded with silly jokes, or interesting, more meaningful conversations. When you’re alone and feeling that buzz, call a good friend and connect on a whole new level while you’re riding the vibe. Consider calling someone you haven’t had contact with in a while, maybe because you had some issues with them. You might be able to open up now, talking through things in a way that didn’t seem possible before.

• Recommended strain: El Patron

9. CLEAN AND ORGANISE

Some strains will give you a boost in energy combined with an increased level of focus. Make the most of this opportunity by doing something productive. You probably dread cleaning your home normally, only to find that it feels almost therapeutic when you’re high. Completely reorganising your wardrobes and cupboards can be a very soothing activity too. Get tasks out of the way that have been lurking around for a while, or do work in advance, like rolling a huge supply of joints.

• Recommended strain: Lemon Shining Silver Haze

10. HAVE SEX

When stoned, connecting emotionally just feels natural, and you can really let your guard down. Provided your partner is high too, making love is the best idea ever. All your senses are heightened and each touch feels electric. You might completely forget about time and go at it for a while, especially if you put on some suitable music. Sharing a joint together before having sex can help change things up a bit, improving your sex life.

• Recommended strain: Haze Berry

11. JACUZZI TIME

Doesn’t it sound like the ultimate chill thing to do when you’re stoned? Slide into a nice warm jacuzzi and feel those bubbles tickle your body all over. Not able to arrange a jacuzzi? Then run a hot bubble bath for yourself. Create a nice ambiance by lighting up some candles in the bathroom and putting on some music. It just doesn’t get any better than that!

12. DO YOGA

You are in the zone mentally and you feel a pleasant body buzz coming on. This is the ideal moment to do some yoga. Concentrating on your breathing feels very relaxing now, and stretching your limbs just feels awesome. How much further can you bend into your forward-fold now? Besides yoga, meditation can also be a good option—or a combination of the two, which many yoga styles infuse.

• Recommended strain: Somango XL

13. GET PHYSICAL

Some strains give you an instant boost of energy, making you want to get physical. Go with the flow and dance if that’s what you feel like. You could also release those endorphins in other ways, like with some light cardio or sports. Going for a jog in a park or joining an aerobics class could be fun. As long as it’s simple and easy to follow, you can really get into it. You should probably avoid complicated or potentially dangerous things like cycling in traffic.

14. VENTURE OUTDOORS

Go outside to breathe in some fresh air and enjoy the world around you. Mother Nature has never seemed more inviting, so a trip into the woods or a walk on the beach would be spectacular. If you don’t feel like going too far from home, just sit in your backyard or on the front porch. Just feeling a soft breeze and hearing chirping birds can make such a difference.

15. PLAY GAMES

Whip out any board games you have, or a simple deck of cards. Games like Jenga or Monopoly can be great fun, although maybe quite a challenge to play properly. Even if nobody understands the rules anymore, it will make for some good laughs. Other types of party games can be just as fun. Think “truth or dare”, “never have I ever”, or “would you rather?”. Just imagine the kind of stuff you will come up with while high. For more inspo, check out our top 10 games to play while high here.

16. HAVE MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS

Giggles and endless laughing episodes are all good, but jokes aside, you can also really steer the conversation into a whole different direction. When high, it can be a very apt moment to brainstorm, with everybody in sync with each other’s thought processes. It could also inspire you to finally find the words to describe your deepest thoughts, talking about things you avoided before. Philosophise about life, your passions and ideas, and just see where it goes.

• Recommended strain: Chocolate Haze

17. PRACTISE SMOKE SKILLS

If you feel like doing something kind of active while still sitting down, there are a lot of cool smoking tricks you can try out. In company, it will also keep everybody entertained. Who is the best at exhaling smoke in the most interesting shapes? Perfect smoke rings come to mind first, or the long puff of smoke through the nose like a dragon. Other funny tricks you can find on YouTube and try out yourself are waterfalls, smoke bubbles, or the ghost inhale. The options are endless, and you can perfect your skills by trying it again the next time you smoke.

18. READ BOOKS

Instead of watching a movie, use your imagination to play a movie in your head by reading. This will really have your fantasy world running wild. Imagine yourself as the protagonist who goes on all of these adventures. The kind of book you choose really depends on personal preference. Some may prefer a short work of fiction; others can really get lost in a very thick book and not put it down until they’re tired. Fairy tales and fantasy are a popular choice; think Harry Potter or Alice in Wonderland.

20. GO TO THE MOVIES

Movies are already awesome when you’re high, but going to a cinema to watch them on the big screen makes things even more exhilarating. Munch on some popcorn, enjoy the enhanced visual effects, and be absorbed by the massive surround sound system. IMAX theatres offer an experience of full immersion, while a movie with 3D effects will really rock your world. Nowadays, there are even some theatres that offer movies in 4D, stimulating your already enhanced senses with a wide array of special effects.

21. GO TO A THEME PARK

Sometimes, the real world feels like a fantasy world when you’re stoned, so going to a theme park totally matches. Going on rides meant for younger children could be hilarious, while gravity rides and dark rides are a whole other story. Riding a rollercoaster while high should really be on your bucket list! If you don’t live near a theme park, you can also catch that thrilling feeling by going to a good old playground. Just like when you were a kid, the see-saw, slide, or swings are just as enjoyable as they used to be.

22. GO TO A MUSEUM

It doesn’t matter if it’s modern art or natural history, surrounded by exhibits, there is something to see in every corner. Even if you are normally not that interested in museums, things can really come to life when you’re high. Looking at abstract, contemporary pieces, you might finally understand the emotion behind an artist’s work. Really observing art might conjure up all sorts of emotions, even if it’s just laughter. Checking out dinosaur skeletons or making a trip to the planetarium can bring you to a whole different universe, as will an interactive exhibition!

23. GET PAMPERED

If that hot bath sounded nice, bring it to the next level and go to the spa. They will have a nice jacuzzi there, maybe even a pool. Feel that water around you while you go for a little swim. Now that your body is sensitive, enjoy the heavy heat of the sauna or the soft mist of the steam room. Also, try out a manicure/pedicure or a life-changing deep tissue massage.

• Recommended strain: Honey Cream

24. GO OUT

When the mood is right, venture out to a bar or club where you can dance to loud music. Feeling social, you can meet a lot of people to be chatty with. If it’s the type of dance club with visuals like lasers and smoke, even better! You will have the party of your life.

• Recommended strain: Mother Gorilla

25. GET COMFORTABLE

Jump into bed and get all comfy with some extra blankets and pillows. All snuggled up and warm, you can still watch some TV or listen to music. Just feeling peaceful doing nothing can be highly enjoyable too. Some types of weed are perfect for supporting a healthy sleep cycle—whether you want to take a nice nap, or enjoy a very deep, good night’s sleep.
