Top 10 Best Things to Do While You're High

While experiencing a great high, why not take advantage of the freedom your mind feels and tap into the creative recesses of your subconscious? Whether you’re attempting to best Picasso or just get in touch with your inner child for a round of finger painting, making something artistic is a pastime that benefits you in multiple ways. For one, as stated, your currently calm mental state means you’ll likely take your time with the art. At the same time, the slow dedication it takes to effectively create something from scratch is the perfect slow burn after you burn the yerba.

Have you ever taken a moment to observe the dozens of other people-persons that inhabit our pale blue dot? Well, now’s your chance! While high, you have an almost heightened perspective on the world; you can openly observe those around you, possibly from points of view you may never have even considered. From afar, you can gain insight into human behavior, picking up on body language and facial expressions and learning more about how we express ourselves. You can even watch others interact and create your own theories about what they’re saying or doing, kinda like a detective on an undercover case, spying on suspects for clues.

Smokin’ dope sends your brain on a journey, so why not propel your physical self on an adventure too? It doesn’t have to being anything too crazy like you see in the movies, but just going on a spontaneous outing and doing whatever comes to mind can be extremely rewarding – especially in such an open state of mind. The sky’s the limit: nearly anything you do will feel like a spectacular adventure after you’ve smoked a joint. Take a walk in the forest, or visit a museum and let your inner ‘artiste’ go wild while observing the great works of days gone by. Whatever you choose, go big and enjoy the moment!

We’ll start by saying this: a lot of video games already touch on some pretty ‘out there’ subject matter as it is. Pac-Man is a yellow circle that eats cherries and hunts ghosts, Oddworld sums itself up in the title and Katamari Damacy is…whatever it is. Can you imagine interacting with these already absurd virtual worlds while high as a kite? The prospect itself sounds insane to us! Even Super Mario gets powers from “special” mushrooms. When you’re in an altered state, all those colors, images and storylines will surely be even cooler to experience – especially if you’ve got some gamers playing along with you!

Sex is already one of the most exhilarating and euphoric experiences around; so just imagine what it feels like when all of your senses have been made super sensitive by a great high? Literally every second of the sexual experience would provide a sensational rush – and by the time it’s all over, you’ll feel a sense of satisfaction unlike anything you’ve ever felt before. Who knows? If the high’s that good and the sex proves to be even better because of it, you may even be up for a few more rounds. If you have no available sex partner, well, going solo works just as well.

The universe is a big place. So many planets, so many galaxies…so many other civilizations just waiting to be discovered – and yet, here you are. Staring up at the stars can help give you some perspective on just how small you are in comparison to the rest of our planet, as well as any other planet. It’s a good opportunity to breathe, relax and examine who you are as an individual. Being high only expands your thoughts to an even broader scope, allowing you to dig deep into subjects you probably wouldn’t touch on your own. That or…you can make crazy wishes on shooting stars, whatever works for you.

Who doesn’t love some good music? Rock, R’n’B, Rap, Jazz or even classical; pump up the volume and lose yourself in the musical rhythm. Listening to your favorite artists while high can let you delve into the beat of each song even further, almost as if you were actually riding musical notes that are magically appearing out of the speakers. Completely losing yourself in good music could prove to be one of the best ways to mellow out, because with spiffy headphones on and some tunes you can really jam to, it’s almost as if the world around you fades away entirely.

As we’ve already stated, (if you were too distracted lighting up, don’t worry we forgive you) being high may allow your mind to be more open to outside ideas that you may’ve previously rejected, as well as more willing to examine tough subjects with a different perspective. Get together with some buds or have a talk with someone who’s incredibly close to you and watch as the thoughts and feelings about the great mystery called ‘life’ come pouring out. You’ll be genuinely surprised by what comes out of your mouth, as it could very well be the most brilliant thing ever said… or it could be very interesting in a nonsensical sort of way.

Remember all of those opinions you have about your favorite movies? Yeah, you’ll forget about them when you watch a movie while high. Did the emotionally moving ending of “Toy Story 3” totally rip your heart to pieces? Well, it’s gonna be nothing but hilarious watching a teenage boy talk so fondly about his favorite toys. Did the rotating hallway fight in “Inception” leave you breathless from the thrills? Well, now it’s going to leave you breathless from laughter as you watch men flip-flop all over the walls and ceiling. Disrespectful to art? Maybe, but hey it’s healthy to laugh, so pop in your favorite flick and get ready to experience everything in an all-new light.

Even those unfamiliar with the many wonders of marijuana have no doubt heard that smoking it can lead to unbelievable cravings for snack foods, aka ‘the munchies.’ Whether it’s chips, crackers or even some dry cereal, it’s unanimously agreed upon that chowing down on some snack foods is the perfect accompaniment to smoking up. Well, that and just taking it easy. And according to research, there’s something in marijuana itself that stimulates our taste buds and appetites, encouraging us to find something to eat! If the potent pot we choose to smoke thinks we should be grabbing snacks… then let it be so!
