There’s often not much difference between what people deem generally fun activities and fun things to do when you’re high.

Leaning into some elements of a cannabis high — i.e., creativity, energy, and creativity — these are some examples of common ways seasoned stoners have a good time.

How Smoking Weed Gets You High

While we’re on the topic of how to spend a day when you’re high, it’s worth touching on how those classic psychoactive effects take hold in the first place.

The cannabis plant is rich in compounds known as cannabinoids or phytocannabinoids.

The human body has its own endocannabinoid system, which features CB1 receptors that bond with phytocannabinoids when we consume cannabis.

Some cannabinoids have psychoactive effects, like Delta-9 THC, which is the form of THC most famously associated with getting high. Other cannabinoids, like cannabidiol (CBD), have physical effects but are not psychoactive.

Cannabis flower features a blend of cannabinoids, which varies based on strain.

For example, sativa-dominant strains feature higher concentrations of THC, which is part of why they’re known to provide more energetic effects. Indica-dominant strains, on the other hand, have a more even balance between THC and CBD for a reputable calmer and sleepier high.

Everyone Is Unique: Find The Pot-Activity Combo For You

Before we go into our list of fun things to do when you’re high, it’s important to note that everyone is different.

We all have a unique set of activities we find most fun, plus varying needs and desires when it comes to consuming cannabis. So, look inward first and be honest about what your wants and needs are.

This guide is for anybody looking for a little inspiration on how to spend a day following a toasty sesh.

20 Of The Most Classically Fun Things To Do When You’re High

1. Listen To Music

From the classic vision of a ‘60s or ‘70s stoner lying down in a garage blasting Pink Floyd vinyl to modern-day enthusiasts listening to a Spotify playlist through AirPods while roaming a city, music has been essential to elevating cannabis highs for generations.

Because listening to music is independently associated with stimulating our intellects and emotions in profound ways, and because feeling high can enhance some people’s sensitivities, appreciation for rocking out or grooving can skyrocket.

In a less rambly sense, zoning out to music when you’re high is simply wonderful. Let us know what you’ve been listening to with your joints, vapes, and edibles in a comment.

2. Go Swimming

There’s something so refreshing and rejuvenating about submerging yourself in water.

When your high makes you feel sleepy or lethargic, jumping into cold water can bring you back to life with a burst of endorphins and energy.

Whether you want to then lounge out on a pool float and space out to some tunes or head into the ocean for some bodysurfing — all approaches to swimming are excellent when paired with the effects of your favorite strain.

When the weather is nice and you have a body of water that’s accessible, consider rallying the gang to head there after your next session.

3. Eat Fruit and Vegetables

Rather than just list eating as a single element on this list, we’re going to point out a few specific examples of munchies that are universally loved by stoners.

Like the cannabis that you’ve just consumed, foods that have grown from the earth can be exceptionally tasty and revitalizing when you’re high.

While fruits and vegetables aren’t typical munchies' foods, they’re low-key the best because they can help you feel refreshed and revitalized.

Some strategic smokers prioritize healthier munchies like these during the day for clean energy and then save sugary sweets for later. This way, a sugar crash won’t cut their adventures short.

4. Go To The Movies

The movie theater has long been a safe haven for high folks seeking entertainment.

The lights-off, phones-off atmosphere takes off the edge of making conversation and socializing.

The big screen and surround sound can make the story on screen all the more enveloping. And, of course, there are tons of sweet munchies available at the concession stand.

People have sought magic at the cinema for generations, so experiencing movie magic at the theater can be one of the most fun things to do when you’re high.

Prepare for liftoff and head to the cinema. Be ready for another world with this THCa Tropical Storm Dab Badder, which is $89 for 2g at our online dispensary.

5. Attend a Comedy Show

The giggles are one of the most common and enjoyable side effects of quality gummies or smokables.

For those who enjoy a good knee-slapper, a comedy show can serve as one of the best things to do when you’re high.

Fair warning: if you’re not one for being the center of attention, steer clear of sitting in the front row, or else you might become a part of the show.

Even if you do get called on, comedy clubs are awesome because they take down typical social standards to create a more open and expressive space that’s almost always pretty inclusive. For stoners, this atmosphere can certainly be ideal.

6. Binge a TV Show or Watch a Home Movie

Whether you’re catching up on the latest release from Netflix or Max or stepping back in time to binge a classic series like Breaking Bad — home cinema is amazing for potheads.

For those who are looking for some “high-concept” films, our list of the best stoner movies you can watch from home tonight is designed to reduce time spent looking and increase time spent watching.

For those who appreciate the psychedelic side of cannabis, seeking out visually stimulating and action-packed shows or movies can be really fun, too.

The next time you open a bag of popcorn and settle onto the couch for some chilling and watching, consider elevating the mood a little first.

7. Play Sports

When the sun is out, sports are always a relatively free and undeniably fun way to relax after a toasty session.

Bob Marley famously would puff cannabis and then play soccer with his friends for hours on end.

Unlike smoking tobacco, weed can put you in an elevated state that makes it easier to focus and maneuver with the poetry and energy a given game provides.

Also, pot doesn’t wear down your lungs in the same way, so you can actually run for extensive periods when you’re high and actually feel great.

8. Take a Shower or Bubble Bath

We mentioned the unbelievable refreshment you can feel from submerging yourself in water when you’re high above. However, doing so at a public venue might not always vibe with your elevated mood.

To immerse yourself in H20 in a home setting, take a shower or a bath.

Not only is the water revitalizing, but the act of cleaning yourself with soap and shampoo can help improve your attitude and clean up the feelings around your high. These can also be helpful when you’ve gone a bit overboard or even during a greenout situation.

Whether you’re bored or are simply due for some bathing, showers, and baths are absolutely among the most fun things to do when you’re high.

9. Get Lost Making a Munchies Recipe

Yes, eating is up there among the most popular activities related to smoking weed. But actually, preparing the food can be consuming, creatively stimulating, and downright fun.

From refreshing salads to sweet-delicious treats, there are plenty of easy-to-make munchies recipes you can try the next time you get high.

In addition to Mood’s breakdown of our favorite examples, Instagram and TikTok serve as great resource hubs for any stoners out there on the hunt for new and delicious eats they can whip up from home.

For those who want to kick things off with an elevated bite, Mood's online dispensary features a range of sweet and delicious Edibles. Subscribe and save 15%.

10. Go For a Hike

Exercise releases endorphins, which can add a happy, energized euphoria to any given high.

While we touched on sports earlier, a hike represents a totally different and equally fulfilling way to get the blood flowing and enjoy some movement while stoned.

The benefits of hiking come with the visual and sensorial experience of immersing yourself in nature. Plus, with so many hikes designed to lead you to some breathtaking views or awe-inspiring destinations, experiencing them elevated can be, well, an experience.

Of course, the best activity to do outside depends on who you are. Cyclists can obviously have a great time biking (just please make sure to do so safely), while climbers might find a little wall to traverse during their outdoor high adventures.

11. Go Out For Dinner

Munchies obviously play a role in many of the most fun things to do when you’re high, and going out to dinner is the ultimate way to celebrate eating.

From exploring a menu filled with dishes that you’d likely never be able to create yourself to gabbing it up with friends and family — going out to dinner can be awesome when you’re high.

Like Mood’s cannabis, there are restaurants with different atmospheres and energy levels. So the next time you’re looking to toke up and eat out, find a spot that you can vibe with.

For a snack that will get you lifted, these Delta-9 THC Butter Cream Caramels are on sale for just $49. Subscribe and save 15%.

12. Make a Special Trip for Ice Cream

After dinner, things get really exciting for stoners with the munchies. While all desserts are fair play, there’s something extra special about going for ice cream.

From trying free samples to trying to eat up every bite before the ice cream melts down your cone — this is a pastime for cannabis enthusiasts and everyone else.

Ice cream’s cold temperature, creamy consistency, and an often mind-boggling array of toppings culminate in an indulgent and refreshing experience that can be particularly pleasurable to the stoned mind.

13. Sit Outside and Stargaze or People Watch

From the deserts of California to the forests of Maine — this beautiful country has a lot of amazing places for stargazing.

For those of us stoners who live in more densely populated areas that drown out these far-away wonders with light pollution, the people are the stars, and they twinkle and shine on street corners, performing in subway stations, and walking past the cafe where you might enjoy a rest.

Observation is a fantastic element of getting high because it lets you tap into this pure appreciation of the world around you, which can be calming and existentially liberating.

Perfect for stargazing, an eighth of these THCa Moonrocks is on sale for only $49 at the Mood Shop today. Subscribe and save 15%.

14. Get Lost in a Conversation with a Loved One

While looking outward is a rewarding part of getting high, so is looking inward.

To keep things from getting too heady, it’s always nice to connect with a loved one when you’re feeling social and energized.

Whether it’s the friend or loved one who you’re sharing a joint with or someone you happen upon after your sesh, don’t be afraid to roll with the conversation and get lost in some good old-fashioned discourse the next time you get lifted.

Check out Mood’s selection of Social Cannabis at our online dispensary today.

15. Listen To a Podcast

While all of these activities might seem like fun things to do when you’re high, other times, you just want to rest and take it easy.

There’s nothing wrong with taking a rip (or a few), throwing on some headphones, and spacing out to your favorite podcast.

Listening to podcasts is also a great way to make a boring activity more fun.

For example, if you like to get elevated before traveling, plugging in with some of your favorite comics or crime mysteries can keep your mind entertained as you stand in lines and wait for your luggage.

16. Go Camping

The great outdoors offers many appealing elements to the stoned mind, such as fresh air, wondrous landscapes, and towering demonstrations of nature’s majesty.

So, immersing yourself completely in a natural setting on a camping trip can be truly peaceful and super fun for pot smokers and non-smokers alike.

You can enjoy a nice doobie by the campfire or have a little gummy before hitting the trail for a day of exploring.

17. Go To a Festival

A festival can include the wonders of camping, or not, depending on your pass.

Either way, festivals combine people, food, arts, and live music for a convergence of many of the best things to enjoy when you’re high.

Festivals of all kinds also share a long history of being gathering places for hemp lovers and those who like to partake.

Have a look at what’s playing near you this year for some fun ideas to pair with your favorite cannabis.

18. Snuggle With Anyone Or Thing You Love

There’s nothing more relaxing, shooting, and connective than a cuddle with a loved one.

For those of us who are lucky enough to have a furry friend in our lives, puppy and kitty love is extra gooey and enjoyable when you’re high. From scratches to wrestling to full-on cuddle puddles on the couch, snuggling and playing with pets when you’re stoned is awesome.

And for those of us who are lucky enough to have romantic or platonic partners who we enjoy physical intimacy with, exploring and snuggling with a little sensual boost from the age-old cannabis plant can be quite enjoyable.

19. Play Some Video Games

One of the most proven and undeniably fun things to do when you’re high — video games represent literal other dimensions that you can go and visit with friends or all on your own.

From getting wrapped up in an immersive RPG to duking it out with your best bud in an arcade-style sports game, the realm of gaming holds competition and adventure for all.

To be fair, board games have the same appeal and can be equally fun when you’re stoned. These offline games can be especially great when connecting with friends on a weekend away.

This THCa Blue Fire Dab Badder is a great complement to a night of gaming. It is only $49 for 1g at Mood’s online dispensary. Subscribe and save 15%.
