8 Creative Things To Try When You're High - The Outdoor Edition

There’s something about the great outdoors that is not only great for your body, but holistic for your mental health as well. The rich colors of clear blue skies and water complimented by lush green foliage have been scientifically proven to help you relax and just zen. Green manifests feelings of quietude and calm, which can not only diffuse uneasiness but can also encourage harmony in a restless mind. Blue is praised for its unique ability to help better manage stress as it brings about a strong sense of peacefulness. While some users are perfectly content to become one with their couch, some users might feel a bit restless and want some outdoor fun to further enhance their high. We’ve put together a short list of activities that you may want to consider the next time you’re feeling the call of the wild while high!

Some Precautionary Advice

First and foremost, be responsible when you’re high. There’s a reason why manufacturer’s sternly caution against operating machinery and vehicles while high. Not only is it dangerous, it’s illegal. Your judgment becomes more impaired as time feels like it’s slowing down while simultaneously watching moving objects whiz by. Don’t jeopardize the safety of yourself and others by getting behind the wheel. There are plenty of other enjoyable activities to indulge in while getting high that are not only safe but quite enjoyable! Some require a bit more energy than others (as you’ll see shortly) but don’t pressure yourself to complete them if you don’t feel up for it. Pace yourself, enjoy the fresh air complimented by green and blue scenery, and allow yourself to become one with whatever fascinating adventure you find yourself in. Let’s take a look at some of the most enjoyable things to do while high!

1. Embark On A Nature Adventure

Nature is everywhere, regardless if you live in a big city or a sprawling countryside. Many cities have public parks to ensure their residents have somewhere to enjoy nature without the bustling noise of civilians, public transportation, and commuters. You can also find tree-lined streets with carefully manicured lawns and shrubbery if parks aren’t easily accessible. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, put your phone on “do not disturb” and bask in the glory of fresh air whooshing into your nostrils and soft earth beneath your feet.

2. Take A Hike, Buddy!

Grab your hiking boots, some trail mix, plenty of water, and head out to your nearest hiking trails! The beauty of the great outdoors is often magnified while high, allowing you to appreciate nature like ever before.

Since you probably don’t live at the foot of a mountain, it’s strongly advised to bring vape cartridges or disposable devices with you that you can puff on once you’re there. The advantage to inhalables is that they act quickly (kicking in after about 5 minutes) and dissipate after about an hour or so. This can ensure you’ll get nice and toasted while walking through the winding hiking trails, but that you’ll also be sober to drive back home safely.

It’s also a good idea to do this with friends to make sure you don’t get lost, but if you do opt to go by yourself, make sure to let loved ones know where you’ll be. The ability to wander around without a time-limit or be back within a certain time is a great appeal to nature lovers, one that is sure to be even more enjoyable if you’re stoned.

3. Go For A Swim

Granted, this activity takes a bit more physical exertion than hiking or nature walking, but it’s also a very fun one! The gentle splashing of the water can be quite relaxing as the lazy waves caress your heightened sense of touch. Combine that with the lazy feeling of floating and basking in the warm sun and you’ll be delighted with this outdoor activity that’s perfect for hot summer days. Just make sure you’re not too high, as this might pose a bit of a safety risk. Swimming with friends while high promises to be even more enjoyable, so grab your floaties and pool noodles ASAP!

4. Indulge in Stargazing

What better way to enjoy the great outdoors while high than looking up at a twinkling night sky? The warm darkness pinned back by twinkling stars can be incredibly therapeutic and quite romantic. You can turn this into a great date night by packing a soft blanket, some treats for the munchies (check out our two articles on healthy snacks and traditional pothead faves if you need some help figuring out what types of snacks to nosh on), and some form of music to help set the mood. For our enthusiastic spaced-out astrologists, you can either bring your phone to zoom in on the celestial bodies you see or consider purchasing a telescope.

5. Sign Up For Outdoor Yoga Classes

One of the most enjoyable side effects of getting high is the full-blown body high. Your sense of touch is heightened, everything feels warm and tingly, and you feel weighted and floaty at the same time! Instead of choosing to melt into your couch, consider finding an outdoor yoga class. Yoga is renowned worldwide for its ability to stretch your muscles, increase endorphin production, and reconnect with nature. Yoga is also a form of exercise that doesn’t require a lot of physical exertion or equipment. Once you learn the basics, feel free to do your own yoga routine in parks, hiking trails, the beach, and another other area that has fresh air and flat ground!

6. Life’s a Beach; Go Play In The Sand!

There’s an undeniable feeling of excitement when it comes to the beach. The salty sea breeze, the cawing of pesky seagulls, the crashing of the waves, and the childlike glee of feeling sand between your toes. Best of all, you have a plethora of activities all bundled together! You can go for a swim, stretch out for tanning on a fluffy towel, build a sandcastle masterpiece, and take a stroll on the shoreline if you need a change of scenery. Many cannabis consumers opt to bring lunch coolers and stereos for a day of fun, so what are you waiting for? Crack open a can of soda and don a pair of shades and you’ll wonder why you hadn’t thought to do this sooner!

7. Challenge Yourself With Physical Exertion

We touched on the topic of working out while high in a previous article called “Can I Workout While High?” While grabbing a set of dumbbells might not be ideal, you might be surprised at how much your body enjoys breaking into a sweat while high. You don’t even have to go to a gym to workout; you can go for a nice invigorating jog through your neighborhood, rent a pedal boat for some lakefront activity, find an outdoor gym in parks or beaches, or set up a game of basketball with your friends. The feeling of pushing your body through the high can feel incredible, especially to so called “stoner-cisers.” Start off with a moderate activity and see how you feel; you may desire to feel more of a muscle burn or be completely content with low-impact exercises.

8. Treat Yourself To An Outdoor Movie/Picnic

If you’re looking for an outdoor activity that requires very little effort but delivers a memorable experience, you’ll love this home version of a drive-in movie theater. Spread out a thick blanket on the grass and use your phone to watch movies. Better yet, hang up a white sheet and use a projector to watch your favorite flicks and shows in a larger-than-life experience. Popcorn, soda, chips, pizza, and other movie snacks will ensure you have a relaxing movie night without fear of raging munchies!
