There’s a certain kind of magic that hits after smoking weed. The world softens around the edges, colors seem brighter, music hits deeper, and suddenly, everything is just... better. But once that high settles in, one important question remains: what now?
Whether you’re flying solo, posted up with a friend, or planning an entire day around your favorite strain, there’s no shortage of fun things to do while high. And the best part? You don’t need an elaborate plan — just a good idea, a chill mindset, and maybe a snack or two.
From lowkey indoor activities to immersive adventures that get your body moving, here are 10 things to do while high that are guaranteed to make your sesh even better.
1. Play a Video Game (Solo or With Friends)
Let’s be real — this one’s basically the holy grail. Playing video games after smoking the good stuff is a rite of passage. Whether you’re deep-diving into a sprawling fantasy RPG, getting competitive in a first person shooter, or just casually farming digital crops in Stardew Valley, games and smoking cannabis go hand-in-hand.
You get to sit back, zone in, and let your mind wander through epic storylines, surreal worlds, or chaotic multiplayer showdowns. If you're with a group, couch co-op becomes pure gold — especially if you’re trash-talking your way through Mario Kart or trying not to burn the kitchen down in Overcooked.
Solo high score chaser? Pop in your favorite album, roll something good, and fall into the groove. Whether you're button-mashing or strategizing, gaming is one of the most fun activities to do from the comfort of your own home.
And if you’re feeling bold? Go VR. Nothing like fighting robots in space or walking with dinosaurs while blazed out of your mind.
2.Listen to Music
Some say music sounds better on vinyl — but let’s be honest, it sounds best when you’re high. Throw on your favorite artists, spark a joint, crank the volume (or your headphones), and let the sound waves carry you somewhere cosmic.
Whether it’s lo-fi beats, heady jazz, psychedelic rock, or vibey hip-hop, music can transport your mind while keeping your body grounded. Bonus points if you're listening in surround sound — even better if you're vibing in a dark room with mood lighting.
Need ideas?
- Curate a stoner playlist
- Dive into your favorite album from front to back
- Explore genres you’ve never listened to before
- Get into live performances or unplugged sets on YouTube
Want to level up? Try making your own sounds — jam out, experiment, or even write music if you’re feeling inspired. Let those creative juices take the wheel and see where the rhythm leads.
3. Watch Movies, TV, or Funny Videos
Sometimes, there’s nothing more satisfying than getting baked and watching the weirdest content you can find. Watch TV, stream your favorite movies, or just get lost in endless reels of funny videos.
High-friendly content ideas:
- Comedy shows that give you a good laugh
- Trippy, visual-heavy films (Enter the Void, anyone?)
- Nature docs like Planet Earth — the visuals + narration combo hits hard
- Mindless reality TV (because sometimes chaos is cathartic)
- Deep dives or conspiracy docuseries (don’t say we didn’t warn you)
This is also the perfect time to revisit a favorite TV show. You’ll notice details you forgot existed, characters you love more, and plots that suddenly make way more sense. Or way less. Either way, fun.
Pro tip: Line up a solid queue before you start your smoking session so you don’t get stuck scrolling forever.
4. Go for a Walk or Enjoy Nature
Nature + weed = a match made in THC heaven. A chill walk through a local park, a hike in the hills, or even a cruise around the block can feel like an epic adventure full of fresh air when you’re elevated.
Feel the breeze. Smell the plants. Watch the birds do their weird bird things. Every little detail becomes more vibrant. It’s one of those fun things that’s also grounding — perfect for clearing your head and letting your high breathe.
Ways to enjoy the great outdoors while high:
- Take a solo walk with a solid playlist
- Plan a picnic with a friend (don’t forget snacks)
- Post up at a nearby park and cloud-gaze
- Do some people-watching (highly entertaining)
Bonus: Bring a blanket and go stargazing. Pair with a joint and you’ve got yourself a cosmic date with the universe.
So, what are you waiting for? Spend time outdoors and thank us later.
5. Get Creative with Art or Writing
Weed unlocks something special in the brain. Call it insight, inspiration, or just stoner scribbles — the creative side pops off when you’re elevated.
So take advantage of it. Doodle. Sketch. Paint. Journal. Write music. Build a Lego masterpiece. Do whatever feels fun without putting pressure on the outcome.
Need some creative nudges?
- Try an adult coloring book
- Create a DIY collage or vision board
- Write a short story based on your high thoughts
- Make a playlist for a made-up movie
- Design fake brands, taglines, or product names — high minds are marketing gold
You don’t have to be “good” at art. You just have to be willing to make something weird. Let it flow, let it be messy, and laugh at whatever comes out. That’s the fun way to do it.
