Are you more of a solo person who loves to get high? Then buckle up because this is the article for you. Sure having a joint with friends is a great way to spend an afternoon. However, many of us prefer activities for one or just like to get away from it all every once in a while. There are so many fantastic things you can get stoned and do alone. Some of them are just for fun and honestly, some of them will likely vastly improve your mental health and provide some much needed you time. Obviously, if you are getting high and doing stuff alone keep your phone on you just in case. You can ignore it unless you need some help, but just best to have it on you especially if you’re going adventuring.
Make An Art
Honestly, arts and crafts are my favourite stoned pastimes. Mostly because I’m not a very good artist so painting something, writing a song, or knitting something while high I gen to enjoy feeling genuinely talented. Also, it’s really fun to see what you made or wrote when you sober up. If you’re an artist obviously you can play in your medium or maybe try a new one that you don’t normally use. If you’re not normally much of an art boy then pick a fun easy medium and just go to town. My absolute favourite thing to do is go to a charity shop, get a cheap table or something, and a tonne of magazines and fun paper. Then you can decoupage the table and not only is it easy and cheap, but it almost always looks amazing no matter how mad you get with it. Who knows you might fall in love with a new art medium and find yourself a new hobby.
Adventure
Go adventuring! This is one for people who are good at being high outside. I say adventure but unless you’re super confident in your abilities maybe don’t go somewhere totally unknown. Maybe go to your favourite woodland area, park, a section of your city, town, whatever and just wander around like the main character in your own little indie film. Personally, I like as much nature as possible when I go trotting around stoned. If you can get a day that’s bright but not too hot and go for a lovely woodland walk with plenty of water and snacks, that’s a hell of a day. Again, stay safe, make sure you can contact people if you need to, and remember that looking at a dog will always make you feel great.
Cartoons and Games
Ok, this is a personal favourite, but honestly, this is some of the most fun you can have while stoned. This is one for my ADHD babies out there who enjoy being brain stimulated by multiple things. As long as you have two devices you should be completely fine. My preference is to use a larger tv with a console then having cartoons on my laptop. This is one of the nicest comfort brain baths I’ve ever discovered. I have the lovely brain tickle of watching something I know and love while having the active aspect of playing a video game. I honestly find that this kind of activity can completely reset my brain if I’ve been having a stressful time. Genuine comfort and happiness, especially with your favourite snacks.
Sort Your House Out
This sounds like a less fun time but honestly, it can be so good for your brain. Put on a tv-show, familiar film, podcast or some music and just absolutely go to town on your house. Being high can take the pressure out of cleaning and can make it pretty fun. Personally, there is something about cleaning a bathroom while stoned that really does it for me. Seeing everything go from that slight layer of dust and whatever else to just shiny witness. Then once you’ve used your high energy to clean you have this lovely fresh space to just collapse into. Maybe get yourself a takeout, watch a stoner film, and just be in your the fruits of your labour. I also love going through my clothes while high. Even though it usually turns into me trying things on and just leaving clothes everywhere.
Soft Exercise
By soft exercise, I mean like some stretchy calm yoga or going for a walk around your area. Something that just lets your body release some of those sweet little endorphins. I think that stoned yoga is probably my favourite kind of workout. Finding a nice video to follow, putting on your comfiest clothes and just doing some deep stretching followed by some light lying down meditation and subsequently probably a nap. I find that when I’m stoned I really feel my body and every stretch just feels amazing. For this reason, I’m also going to include some solo exercise in my recommendation…if you know what I mean. Not only is stoned self-exploration a whole lot of fun but nothing is going to release quite such a fountain of good chemicals in your brain.
Films and Books
I recommend getting high and making yourself a list of films or a pile of books that you haven’t watched or read yet. Then after you have your first smoke just pick up the first one then see how far you can get. Watching/reading stuff you know well is comfortable but I find the sense of accomplishment you get with the ones you have been meaning to tackle for ages is amazing. Obviously, for most of us watching films is going to be a lot easier and you’re going to get through a lot more. It can be so satisfying to just wake up in the morning and watch film after film until bedtime. You can maybe do other things while you watch. Some light crafts, some light organising, anything that won’t take too much away from the film but will also keep your brain active.
