Top 10 ways to enjoy smoking alone
Your friends and family aren’t always available, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy being alone.
We all love meeting up with friends to kick back and pass around a joint, but no one should neglect the joy of a good solo session. And let’s face it, sometimes you might not have the energy to socialize.
Getting stoned alone allows you to get to know yourself better, practice self-care, or simply increase the fun of “me time” activities. Whether you’re new to the idea of a solo high or not, our list of activities is chock-full of ways to make the most of the experience.
1. mood in nature
Let’s face it – in today’s digital world we could all do with stepping outside and touching a little more smoke-free weed. Getting outside while stoned is a great way to enjoy your high.
Whether you’re staring at the sky watching the clouds go by, listening to the lapping of the beach waves, or getting your hands dirty in a garden, cannabis helps you focus on those little moments and feel more connected to the world around you feel.
Afterward, you might feel better because your salty coworker is downplaying your performance or your roommate is stealing your leftovers. Cannabis and nature give us perspective.
2. Masturbate
Of course there is nature outside, but there is also your own human nature. Getting in touch with your body is another great way to enjoy the high and solitude. A good body high from a nice indica strain pairs well with the endorphins released when masturbating. The journey of taking your time to explore and learn what makes you feel good can be just as rewarding as the destination.

3. Immerse yourself in hobbies or DIY
There are so many great weed strains that can stimulate creativity and help you find a hobby you love.
Get dressed and forget about productivity for a minute; You don’t have to make something perfect – just enjoy the process. Getting smart takes a myriad of forms. You can buy craft wire and beads to make jewelry or choose your favorite seasonal decoration to weave a wreath for the next holiday.
Making a DIY floral arrangement using flowers from your local market is your chance to make something and go on an adventure. Knitting, crocheting, sculpting, sewing, tie-dye, scrapbooking, or a simple origami are also great options.
Whatever you choose, relax in your high, let yourself experiment, and just have fun creating.
4. Write in your journal
Cannabis has a way of catalyzing introspection, making it a great tool for digging deep into your thoughts and emotions. Journaling is an excellent way to channel this energy and release what has been cluttering up your mind. In fact, research has shown for decades that journaling can have a measurable effect on overall mental well-being.
Combined with the potential of cannabis to have a positive impact on mental health, spending time alone while journaling stoned can be a great opportunity to ease mental stress and ease whatever may be weighing on your heart .
5. Engage in art and color
With a good uplifting strain, things always seem a little lighter when stoned. It’s the perfect time to lose yourself in the world of color and pull out a coloring book or canvas.
Markers, crayons, paints, watercolors – the medium doesn’t matter. Get in touch with your inner child and remember the joy of expressing yourself through color. If you like cosmetics and beauty, this is your sign to try a fun look with your most colorful makeup. After all, your face is a canvas too!
You can also go to the museum to see other interpretations of color through art.
6. Listen to music
Peanut butter and jelly, bread and butter, wine and cheese – cannabis and music. What list would be complete without this timeless combination? There’s something about a good high that makes notes stand out, lyrics ring out, and instruments come to life.
A solo session to sit back, relax and listen to your favorite album, discover a new one or dive into a great playlist. They can sing along loud and out of tune, or play air guitar with wild abandon. Lose yourself in the music and before you know it you’ll be ready to roll a second joint or consider learning a new instrument yourself.
