How to Keep Everyone Comfortable and Having Fun

The key to a great night is pacing. Take smaller hits than usual and use lower THC products for games.

Build in Breaks

Structure 5-minute breaks between rounds. Establish clear tap-out rules: anyone can skip any turn without explanation.

Avoid Mixing

Keep alcohol and cannabis separate. Mixing creates unpredictable effects.

What to Do If Someone Feels Overwhelmed

Help them to a quiet space with water and snacks. Some cannabis users discuss remedies like CBD, black pepper, or lemon.

These are anecdotal approaches, not medical advice. We're not wellness authorities. If someone has serious concerns, they should consult a healthcare professional.

Setting Up Your Session for Success

Start with basics: water, easy snacks, and comfortable seating. Learn how to manage the munchies during your session.

Get Your Space Ready

Open windows for airflow. Position lighters centrally and have ash disposal ready before starting.

Explain the Rules Clearly

Walk through the rules completely before starting. Make sure everyone understands tap-out policies and approximate hit counts.

Choose Your Format Based on Game Pacing

Flower and pre-rolls provide immediate feedback. You feel effects within minutes, making them perfect for most smoking games.

Vapes offer convenience but can be deceptively potent. Pipes with small bowls let you control exactly how much each hit delivers.

The Edibles Question

Traditional edibles take 45-90 minutes to kick in, creating timing problems. Mood offers rapid-onset formulations that take effect within 15-30 minutes.

Get a 10-count of Micro-Dose Delta-9 THC Gummies for $29 if you want a lighter edible option.

Classic Party Games with Rules You Can Use Tonight

Never Have I Ever

Players: 3-8. Time: 20-30 min. Intensity: Low-medium.

Each player holds up three fingers. Going around the circle, state something you've never done. Anyone who HAS done it puts down a finger and takes a hit. The game continues until someone runs out of fingers.

Bong Pong

Players: 4-6. Time: 15-25 min. Intensity: Medium.

Set up cups in triangles at opposite ends. Teams throw ping pong balls into opponent cups. When a ball lands, the opposing team takes a hit. Intensity control: Take a hit every third shot instead of every shot.

Medusa

Players: 3-10. Time: 10-15 min. Intensity: Low.

Everyone looks down. On three, look up at another player. If you make eye contact with someone looking at you, both shout "Medusa!" and take a hit.

Movie Smoke-Along

Players: 2-8. Time: Movie length. Intensity: Low-medium.

Choose triggers: specific words, objects on screen, or time-based (every 15 minutes). Limit to 10-15 triggers per hour.

Weed Jenga

Players: 2-6. Time: 20-40 min. Intensity: Medium.

Write challenges on blocks: "Take a hit," "Choose someone to hit," "Everyone hits," "Tell a story." If the tower falls, that person takes three hits.

Puff Puff Pass

Players: 2-10. Time: Varies. Intensity: Medium.

Classic circle game. Each person takes two hits, then passes. Variations: Pair with music tempo or conversation topics.

Smoke or Fire

Players: 2-8. Time: 15-20 min. Intensity: Medium.

Dealer flips cards. Players guess red or black before each flip. Wrong guesses take a hit.

Planning Your Consumption

Four people playing casual games for 2 hours typically use 2-4 grams total. Use one-hitters instead of bongs to reduce per-hit consumption. 

Learn more about different consumption methods.

Music and Trivia Games for Relaxed Sessions

These games work for mixed tolerance levels because participation doesn't require taking hits.

Song Jammin'

One player hums a song. First to guess correctly assigns a hit. If nobody guesses within 30 seconds, the hummer takes a hit. Use shared playlists so everyone knows the songs. 

Discover why music sounds better while high.

Stoner Trivia

Prepare cannabis trivia or general trivia with cannabis penalties. Wrong answers take a hit. 

Sample questions: "What year was cannabis federally prohibited?" "What does THC stand for?"

Cannabis Categories

Choose a category (song titles with colors, foods starting with P). Going around, each player names something in that category. Hesitation or repetition means taking a hit.

Other Quick Games

Letter of the Previous: Each word must start with the last letter of the previous word. 

20 Questions: The Group has 20 questions to guess the thinker's person/place/thing. 

Would You Rather: Minority vote takes a hit.

Card and Dice Games That Match Your Group's Focus

Play attention-based games early in the session. Save pure luck games for later when focus has relaxed.

Cannabis Blackjack

Standard Blackjack with cannabis penalties. Bust and take a hit. Lose your hand, take a hit. Win, and you're safe. Get Blackjack, assign a hit. Best early in the session.

High Low

Flip a card. Guess if the next card will be higher or lower. Wrong guesses take a hit. Pure luck, perfect for a late session.

Straight Face

Each player writes an absurd sentence. Read them aloud with a straight face. If you break character, take a hit. If you succeed, the writer takes a hit. Gets funnier as inhibitions lower.

Creative and Active Games for Early in the Night

These games work best early, while everyone has coordination. They create fun artifacts and inside jokes.

Cannabis Charades

Classic charades with cannabis topics: movie titles, famous cannabis users, strain names, smoking actions. Wrong guesses after 60 seconds mean the actor takes a hit.

High Artists

Give everyone paper and materials. Call out a prompt: "Draw a dragon playing basketball" or "Draw your perfect munchie meal." 

Everyone draws for 3-5 minutes, then votes on the best. Keep the drawings. Want more creative prompts for your high mind? We've got a whole guide.

Story Circle

One player starts a story with a sentence. The next player adds a sentence. Continue around the circle. Hesitation over 10 seconds means taking a hit. Record the final absurd story.

Sensory Games

Blindfold one player. They taste, smell, or touch items while guessing. Wrong guesses take a hit.

High-Intensity Games for Experienced Users Only

These games involve significantly more consumption. Only attempt if you know your tolerance well. Make tap-out rules extremely clear.

Hold Your Hoot (Not Recommended)

WARNING: Holding smoke longer doesn't increase effects and can be uncomfortable. Players take a hit and hold it while others count. Whoever holds longest wins. Losers take another hit.

Power Hour

Take one hit every minute for 60 minutes straight. That's 60 hits in one hour. Can use 2-3 grams per person, only for experienced users.

Joint Rolling Races

Everyone rolls a joint as fast as possible. The last person to finish takes a hit from everyone else's joint, plus smoking their own.

Critical Safety Note

These games lead to rapid overconsumption. Establish clear stopping points. Allow tap-outs at any time. Have someone who stays lower to help anyone who becomes uncomfortable.

These games use much more product. Budget accordingly and remember that higher consumption doesn't necessarily mean more fun.

Quick Answers to Common Questions

Can you turn any drinking game into a smoking game?

Yes, but reduce penalty frequency to one-third of the original. Cannabis affects people more variably than alcohol. Instead of drinking every miss, take a hit every third miss.

What if someone gets too high during a game?

Stop playing immediately. Help them to a comfortable, quiet space with water and snacks. Stay with them and reassure them that the feeling will pass. Their comfort matters more than finishing any game. We're not medical professionals. If someone has serious concerns, they should consult a healthcare provider.

Do edibles work for game nights?

Traditional edibles take 45-90 minutes to take effect, creating timing challenges. Look for rapid-onset formulations that work within 15-30 minutes. Mood's rapid-onset options offer more predictable timing.

What are good two-person games?

Never Have I Ever, High Low, Straight Face, Movie Smoke-Along, and Story Circle all work well with two people. Most competitive games can be adapted for one-on-one play. New to smoking? Check out our beginner's guide.

How much weed do you need for a game night?

Four people playing casual games for 2 hours typically use 2-4 grams total. High-intensity games can use 2-3 grams per person. Start with more than you think you need. Learn how to store leftover cannabis.

Should I mention the drug testing situation?

Yes. Cannabis products including Mood's hemp-derived options will cause you to fail standard drug tests. THC shows up the same way regardless of legal source. Mood's products are federally compliant under the Farm Bill, but that doesn't change how they appear on drug tests.

You're Ready to Host a Great Night

Pick 2-3 games that match your group's vibe. Start with something social like Never Have I Ever. Set up your space with water, snacks, and good airflow. Establish clear tap-out norms before starting.

Remember: smaller hits than normal, breaks between rounds, and sequence games from focus-heavy to luck-based. Choose flower or pre-rolls for immediate feedback. 

Browse Mood's Shop by Mood system to match products to your experience. All products ship discreetly in plain packaging within 3-5 business days with third-party lab testing certificates.
