At first it may seem like a silly question: what should we do while we’re smoking cannabis? Because we’re already getting high. That’s what we’re doing!

But as any great stoner knows, you need to mix it up and make the most of your THC time. So in this post we’ll give you our awesome list of fun things to do while high!

Ready to maximize your good vibes? Let’s roll!

Get Outta Here: Outdoor Activities While High

When it comes to smoking cannabis and spending time outdoors, there are plenty of fun activities to do outdoors while you’re high that can make for a more rewarding experience. From nature walks and beach trips to sports and games, here’s what we recommend.

Nature Walks and Beach Trips

Really, is there anything nicer than enjoying the salty sea air and beauty of Mother Nature at the beach? Light up and take a walk in nature or at the shore to get some fresh air while enjoying the heightened awareness that cannabis brings. You’ll be able to appreciate the beauty of your surroundings on a deeper level than if you were sober.

Disc Golf and Kite Flying

If playing video games isn’t quite up your alley when you’re high, why not try something more active like disc golf? Disc golf courses have seen a rise in popularity, offering an enjoyable and physical way to pass the time while getting high. Or maybe kite flying is more up your alley – either way these activities will keep you entertained without having to stay home.

For those who prefer competitive sports while they’re high, ultimate frisbee is an excellent option. This game requires strategy but still allows for creativity; it combines elements from football and soccer so it has something for everyone. Plus listening to some good music during the game makes it even better.

Get Physical: Exercise and Fitness While High

You can also just get outside and exercise or do activities you like in the fresh air while you take advantage of your high and endorphins. Hiking, biking, kayaking, running or walking are all great options for getting some fresh air and exercise in after smoking cannabis up or enjoying a dab. Dancing is also another fun activity that pairs perfectly with marijuana use as it allows users to express themselves through movement without judgment from others.

Staying In and Chillin’ Like a Villain

If the Great Outdoors seems more like a source of terror to you than fun, no worries. The right joint can take you anywhere right inside your room.

Relaxation Techniques While Stoned

After a long day, relaxation techniques can help reduce stress levels and bring the body back to equilibrium. Focusing the mind on calming thoughts and reaching a deeper level of awareness can be achieved through meditation, which is an effective way to reduce stress.

Taking a nap or massage therapy can also be beneficial in helping one feel at ease within themselves again. A luxurious bubble bath is another fabulous thing to do while high.

Read a Book

Are we talking War and Peace or the Physician’s Drug Handbook? No, we are probably not (although some of us do our best work high).

Listen to a Podcast

This is one of my favorite activities while enjoying the effects of cannabis. Somehow, it’s all a lot more compelling. Remember, though, you may forget a lot of it.

Catch Some Zs

If all else fails, taking a nap is always an option. Marijuana has been known to cause fatigue due to its relaxing effects so don’t feel bad about wanting to take some time off from reality after smoking cannabis – sometimes our bodies need rest too. Make sure you stick to indica strains, find somewhere comfortable, because couch-lock is coming and sweet dreams are ahead.

Free Your Mind: Creative Pursuits To Try When You’re High

Cannabis and creativity are well-known to be connected, and cannabis may be the spark of inspiration you need. smoking marijuana can enhance creativity and motivate you to start—or finish—a project.

Make That! Arts/Crafts/Music

If you’re looking for an artistic outlet while smoking cannabis weed, why not give painting, drawing, sculpting or crafting a go? Whether it’s on canvas or paper, in clay or wood, these activities are great ways to express yourself after a long day. Cannabis may help you create something you wouldn’t have otherwise.

Write It All Down

Journaling to document how cannabis influences your work can help you harness it as a tool more in the future. Writing and composing with cannabis is also very fruitful for many creatives, as it helps them craft deeper, more meaningful and connected messages in their work.

There are many paintbrushes, knitting needles, and drumsticks out there sharing space in creative hands with vape pens or bongs. Creativity and cannabis are old friends.

Get a Little Help From Your Friends: Smoking Cannabis Sessions With Friends

Smoking cannabis sessions with friends are more fun than they should be, seriously. From impressing your buddies with smoke tricks like Gandalf blowing smoke rings to taking a (sober!) trip to the local theme park and enjoying some homemade brownies in the parking lot to experience a whole new rollercoaster ride, a group sesh can be a blast.

Game Night

Whether it’s old school classics like Monopoly, Scrabble, or other board games, to newer party-style games like Cards Against Humanity or Unstable Unicorns, game night is always a classic when it comes to smoking cannabis sessions with friends. It’s easy, tons of fun, and sure to be even more fun than usual. Do NOT forget snacks.

Potluck Night

Everyone bring your best dish and enjoy the munchies! Or take this opportunity of having a tremendously hungry and appreciative crowd, and try some new foods and recipes.

Karaoke or Netflix Night

Who doesn’t love belting out their favorite tunes after getting stoned? Nothing brings people together quite like karaoke night does—and if people smoke out first, they may actually sing! Gather some tunes, perhaps a few props, and you’re ready to go for an unforgettable evening of singing and laughter.

So make the most out of your day off together. Play video games or binge-watch stoner movies or tv shows. You never know what kind of shenanigans might ensue when your body feels good and all five senses are heightened thanks to cannabis consumption.

FAQs: Best Things to Do While High

What’s the best thing to do when you’re smoking cannabis?

When you feel like your high is too much, take it easy and breathe deeply. Make sure you are in a safe space. Try drinking a glass of water or eating something light, like fruit or crackers.

Take some time to meditate or listen to calming music if possible. Avoid making any major decisions while under the influence of cannabis as it can impair judgment and reaction times.

What shouldn’t you do while high?

Don’t drive or use heavy machinery. Avoid making major decisions such as signing contracts or agreements, engaging in activities with high risk of injury, and consuming alcohol.

For many cannabis consumers, potency is king and high-THC strains and concentrates are always on the menu. But for others, stronger isn’t necessarily better–this is where microdosing cannabis comes in.

Traditionally linked with psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin mushrooms and LSD, microdosing has been growing more popular among cannabis users. Microdosing is an optimal choice for weed enthusiasts who want to enjoy cannabis and its therapeutic benefits without it hampering their productivity or tipping them too far into psychoactivity.

But what is microdosing really, how does it work with cannabis, and does it really have benefits that make it worth trying?

In this post, we’ve collected our best daily microdosing tips. Read on to find out more about everything from what a microdose of cannabis is to why people love taking them. Microdosing cannabinoids can help you enjoy your daily routine even more as you enhance it with the optimal balance between therapeutic benefits and functionality.

Please understand that nothing written here should be taken as medical advice. Always talk with your doctor before taking any new substances–especially those not regulated by the FDA.

What Is Microdosing?

Microdosing is using a tiny amount of your substance to produce very mild, steady effects throughout the day. Minimal scientific evidence supports microdosing, yet many people swear by it, saying that it is very beneficial.

People have actually been microdosing for years with psychedelics like psilocybin or LSD, exploring their effects at low doses. Microdosing really gained popularity in recent years among tech workers in Silicon Valley who wanted to treat anxiety and depression while enhancing their creative edge at work.

Now, as more states move toward legalization, modern cannabis consumers are starting to apply these microdosing principles to cannabis. Instead of consuming large amounts of cannabis at once, more users are realizing the benefits of consuming very low doses of cannabis consistently throughout the day.

You should get just a small effect from microdosing, almost an unnoticeable feeling. Trippy, high feelings are outside the zone. Microdosers will feel slightly relaxed, or even a slight buzz, but also increased productivity and creativity and no hit to their work performance. And those typical stress levels? Much lower.

Really, cannabis microdosing is about homing in on the sweet spot, not getting high: the lowest dosage you need for optimal benefits. Microdosing can help the right users feel their very best day by day, thanks to a more pain- and stress-free, relaxed lifestyle.

Why Microdose Cannabis?

For some people it will always be about achieving a higher high, but for so many others, the benefits of microdosing cannabis include a functional, convenient experience. Now that THC has lost some of its stigma, rather than just burning a joint on a weekend, these consumers are curious about incorporating cannabis into their workweeks and day-to-day lives.

Why seek out a more functional high? More people are working harder to achieve or maintain a competitive edge. In this demanding economy for many people, microdosing cannabis is said to enhance creativity, productivity, and overall mental state.

People also microdose to avoid the side effects of THC. At very low levels, users are more likely to experience benefits they enjoy without the confusion, anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, or lethargy that high levels of THC may produce.

Some people microdose cannabis because they feel it helps them avoid tolerance. In theory, by  microdosing,, you won’t overwhelm the body’s cannabinoid receptors.

For medical marijuana patients in particular, the old, familiar saying is to go “low and slow,” to get optimal benefits without using too much (although feeling high is okay with many patients). This is similar to the basic principle behind microdosing.

Another group who may be interested in microdosing is anyone who has been uncomfortably high. It happens, especially with edibles as you wait for them to kick in and impatiently take more. Or “finish” a joint, or forget that a dab is little…you get the idea. The point is that if you’ve been there, you may be ready for a radical change in how you consume cannabis.

So, who should try microdosing? Anyone who feels like they can benefit from microdosing cannabis might as well try it. It’s the ideal way for beginners to get started with cannabis products, and it can help casual consumers enjoy cannabis more by making cannabis an all-day thing and regulating their tolerance levels.

How To Microdose Cannabis

There are many ways to microdose cannabis. It may take some trial and error, and remember, everyone’s body is different. Keeping a cannabis consumption journal is the best way to determine your ideal dosing regimen and keep track of effects, favored strains, and other details.

If you’re interested in trying microdosing, a good place to start is between 1 and 2.5 milligrams of THC. Stay there for a few days. Increase the dosage gradually in 1 mg increments until you feel slight effects.

Once you reach that sweet spot, stay with it for at least a few days. You’re giving it a test drive, so to speak. You have found the right microdose if it still feels right.

Wait at least two hours after you consume an edible before you increase the dosage. And remember, you may need to cut your edibles in pieces to microdose because most edibles–like our Diet Smoke gummies–come in 5 to 10 milligram servings. Tinctures, taken in precise dropper doses under the tongue sublingually, enter the bloodstream faster, so you can possibly increase that dosage in about 30 minutes if needed.

For fast relief, a vape or smokeable product such as cannabis flower might be appealing, although microdosing can be slightly trickier. To smoke flower, use a one-hitter, or try a controlled dosage oil vaporizer. You can up your dosage sooner with these products in general as they are fastest acting and quickest to dissipate.

Determining exactly how much THC or other cannabinoids you are consuming is the most critical step to microdosing cannabis. This is the only way to confidently create and stick to a consistent and enjoyable cannabis microdosing regimen.

How Much is a Microdose of Cannabis?

Remember first and foremost: the ideal microdose varies from person to person. Genetics, state of mind, body type, how much and how regularly you consume cannabis, and even what you ate that day all affect your experience to some extent.

A classic cannabis microdose typically starts between 1 and 2.5mg. The goal is to elicit maximum therapeutic value with minimal cannabis; tinctures and edibles make it easiest to dose precisely.

Depending on your delivery method, you’ll feel effects at different times and in slightly different ways. When people say to take it slow, they mean slow down between doses. Don’t take a 2.5mg microdose as an edible and then take more after a few minutes because it takes too long to feel benefits, for example.

Also, each person’s cannabis sensitivity is different. One or two milligrams of THC can feel like a perfect cannabis microdose to someone who is sensitive, while a “normal” 10mg dose might feel like microdosing to a medical marijuana patient who is used to consuming cannabis in higher amounts.

There are actually cannabis microdosing products out there, or at least products that appear to have been designed with microdosing in mind based on their serving size. For example, you can find cannabis edible mints and hard candies that deliver just five milligrams of THC each. Or some people like to branch out into other cannabinoids and go with delta-8 THC gummies that deliver 10mg each—a dose more like about 5mg of classic delta-9 THC.

These are great ways to try microdosing cannabis, although you can really try it with almost any cannabis products. Just remember to start much smaller, keep track of what you’re doing, and take your time until you lock in your process.

Microdosing and Self-Care

We want to make a final pitch to you on trying cannabis microdosing and here it is: microdosing cannabis can be a radical act of self-care. What do we mean?

More and more people who are at work, raising children, and otherwise living up to serious responsibilities are microdosing cannabis to help themselves feel more present, relaxed, and creative rather than high in their everyday lives. Some microdose with cannabis to enhance their outdoor time or lift their mood while exercising. Others cite how THC helps them change gears mentally and move from doing work, being creative, and relaxing and staying in the moment more easily.

Sounds nice, right?

Quick Tips for Microdosing Cannabis:

• Buy all of your cannabis products from a legal source such as a dispensary or from brands that have transparent lab-testing results of their products, like we do.
• With any form of cannabis, start low and go slow to avoid over-consuming as you find your optimal dose
• Keep your activities and obligations low-risk when using cannabis, and never drive or care for small children alone
• Always wait at least 2 hours before adding more of a sublingual or edible cannabis product

Cannabis Microdosing FAQs

What’s the difference between a low-dose THC edible and a CBD edible?

The cannabinoids. The low-dose THC edible contains the cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, a highly regulated and psychoactive substance. The CBD edible contains the cannabinoid cannabidiol or CBD, which is not psychoactive and is federally legal. So you can more easily buy a CBD edible than you can a THC edible of any dose. Potency is the other difference; you’ll feel more effects from the THC, although the CBD may also be producing benefits for you.

Can you microdose on the go?

Avoid doing this until you are very experienced with your microdosing. In fact, decrease your dose if you start to feel impacted mentally before you get busy. And when you know you’ll be microdosing, until you’ve locked it down, consider sticking to home and activities you can easily complete: chores, a creative project, or a workout are all good places to start.

Never, ever drive or operate heavy machine after you’ve taken THC–especially when you are first experimenting with dosages.

Edibles made me really sick! How can I avoid that?

Almost every cannabis consumer has had a truly bad edible cannabis experience. Taking too much too fast is usually the issue, which is why knowing your optimal dose is so important. This is why you hear the incessant refrain about starting low, on an empty stomach, and increasing your dose very gradually. (The empty stomach will help you determine how your metabolism is affecting onset of effects.)

What are the best cannabis products for microdosing?

Among the best products for cannabis microdosing are edibles, because you know exactly how much you’re getting. It’s also easy enough to find pieces with 5mg THC each, which is a really good zone for microdosers. Medical marijuana patients and experienced cannabis users might microdose with 10 mg edibles, but other users will need to carefully cut them in half, which is less accurate.

We also like using alternative cannabinoids like delta-8 THC for this. They’re already lower potency, and they come in 10mg edibles usually. For delta-8, a 10mg serving can feel more like 5mg of standard THC, so that’s a great place to start microdosing (but again, we strongly caution you to start even lower, and slowly increase the size of the product you are consuming over time).

Sublingual products are another good choice, like cannabis drops you use under the tongue. These are also easy to dose and discreet. They don’t taste as good, but they get the job done and make microdosing pretty easy.

Cannabis beverages are another great option. They’re usually seltzers or sodas that contain a lower dose of THC anyway, so they’re often a great choice for microdosing.

Cannabis in capsule form is another good choice—as long as you can find low enough doses.

It’s a lot harder to get a consistent dose that’s actually “micro” with smoking or dabbing. Remember that cannabis concentrates like budder, wax, and shatter have significantly higher potency than other cannabis products, so they’re not a great place to start when it comes to microdosing.

The best way we’ve seen is to use flower from a one-hitter or small chillum, or a single draw from a cannabis vape pen. It’s definitely less precise, but it works for many. We do not recommend pre-rolls for cannabis microdosing, because you basically have to light it, put it out, and relight it repeatedly, which makes it stink and taste bad.

Can regular cannabis users microdose?

Yes, but it will probably take a higher dose. Frequent cannabinoid consumption over time results in your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) becoming desensitized to THC and other cannabinoids. If you’re a regular user, instead of starting at a very low dose, try reducing a typical dose for you by 75 percent for your starting microdose. Increase slowly only if you need to.

How often should I microdose cannabis?

When microdosing cannabis, the effects may diminish over time, so try taking an occasional day off. You can give yourself time to recalibrate between microdosing sessions and reset. And although experienced folks microdose before work, leave this to the pros until you really know what you’re doing. Start your adventures in microdosing on a day off or when you can take time to yourself.

Is microdosing cannabis right for me?

Although microdosing can be right for just about any cannabis consumer, the choice is really about taste, lifestyle, and personal preference. Some people truly feel that they’re not receiving the complete cannabis experience without all of its effects in full force. For others, the right balance comes with microdosing cannabis in tiny amounts.

We hope our guide to microdosing cannabinoids has been useful to you. It’s trending for a reason; we think it’s going to become a permanent way of life for many as legalization settles in. Why not try cannabis microdosing yourself to see why people are so excited about it?

People ask us constantly: when do you take delta-8? Is it better to use at night or during the day? Can you use delta 8 THC in the morning?

Honestly, and this is great news, you can use delta 8 anytime during the day for great relief. Of course, there are a few caveats here and there for getting the very best from delta-8 products. How do you time your delta-8 use to get the optimal experience?

In this post we’ll tell you how, including what delta-8 THC is, how to make THC light part of your daily routine, the benefits of  Diet Smoke at different times of day, and when to use delta-8 during the day for maximum impact.

Quick Intro: What is Delta-8 THC?

Structurally, delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is very similar to standard psychoactive THC you have likely encountered before in Cannabis sativa. This compound is an isomer of delta-9 THC, the principal compound in the cannabis plant. This means its atomic arrangement is slightly different from delta-9’s structure, which produces a “high” and causes euphoria, symptom relief, and happiness.

Hemp-derived delta-8 and delta-9 THC cannabis products are similar, but the analogues have a slightly different chemical structure, and people are generally talking about delta-9 THC when they mention cannabis. Most strains of cannabis classified as marijuana contain higher levels of THC, although in delta-8 form, THC is less potent.

This is why so many people think about delta-8 as THC light, or diet weed. It’s got many of the same effects, but delivers a sort of lighter, more mellow result.

Is Delta-8 Legal?

Delta-8 exists in a sort of legal loophole created by the 2018 farm bill. With the farm bill, Congress legalized hemp in the United States. This is why you saw an explosion of products with cannabidiol or CBD soon after it was passed.

The farm bill defines hemp plants based on their concentration of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. Hemp products are derived from hemp plants, but those are just cannabis plants with delta-9 THC concentrations of 0.3 percent or less.

Technically this makes any amount of delta-8 THC extracts legal, because they have no delta-9 THC in them and they are hemp-derived. Of course, this is only true where state laws mirror the farm bill’s language and do not address delta 8 specifically.

Today, most state laws don’t address delta-8 THC specifically, and instead deal with cannabis, marijuana, CBD and CBD products, and just THC or delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol.

However, the law in multiple states now does restrict or ban delta-8 THC: Delaware, Arizona, Kentucky, Alaska, Rhode Island, Colorado, Arkansas, Connecticut, Utah, Idaho, Michigan, Iowa, Montana, Texas, Mississippi, New York, Vermont, North Dakota, Nevada, and Washington. Alabama, Illinois, and Oklahoma also have laws under consideration.

Why THC Light Should Be Part of Your Daily Routine

There is a very limited number of studies on delta 8 THC at this point. However, based on what we do know so far, this cannabinoid can offer some useful benefits.

The endocannabinoid system or ECS plays a critical role in promoting homeostasis, and all cannabinoids–including Delta-8 THC–interact with the ECS.

For now, research is extremely limited, and as always, it is important to talk to your doctor before starting any new treatments for any medical advice. 

Benefits of Delta-8 or THC Light

Delta-8 THC produces a number of effects that users report enjoying:  

• Clear-headed high
• Feelings of comfort, relaxation, and calm
• Enhanced appetite  

Most users describe the delta 8 effect as a very uplifting, smooth, pleasant experience. It offers feelings of peace and relief to users. Some users feel slightly as if they are floating or weightless, earning the ‘THC light’ nickname even more.

Effects are not always immediate, and they vary from person to person. The method of consumption determines how long the effects take to hit you. For example, it might take between 60 to 90 minutes for a delta 8 edible such as a gummy to be processed and absorbed by the body. Effects should peak after that, and last for 3 to 8 hours.

Product quality is just as critical. For better effects, it is important to get high-quality products. Poorly made Delta 8 products often produce fewer of the effects you want or less intense results.

This is why it is more than worthwhile to go with trusted, reliable brands that frequently test their products, like we do at Diet Smoke; it’s a matter of safety and comfort. Great brands put serious effort into sourcing higher quality ingredients and testing their products for maximum potency and purity. 

Best Times for Delta-8

Really, anytime is the right time, depending on you and your needs! Like the decaf of cannabis, THC light is really perfect whenever you want it. But here is what works for us and our customers.

Mornings Are Productive with Delta-8 THC Light

If you’re wondering about waking and baking with delta-8, the answer is yes, definitely! But it’s an even better wake and bake option than regular cannabis use because lower amounts of delta-8 in the morning offer you that calm demeanor and clear head you need to face whatever is coming from school or work.

Many of us wake up already worried about the day to come. A small serving of THC light can really help many users get over that hurdle and get to work with confidence.

Many users take a smaller amount of around 10 mg of delta 8 first thing. Delta-8 tinctures or low-serving gummies are a great option for this. Or, if your nerves are really jangling, you might enjoy the faster absorption of THC from from a delta-8 vape pen.

THC Light Days Are More Fun—And Focused

If you’re like so many on our team and delta 8 THC—or really any THC product—is your jam, anytime is the best time. You already probably have all-day use pretty much dialed down for your delta-9 THC, and now you have lighter options!

Remember: like other kinds of THC, delta 8 THC is psychoactive, so if you’re going to be driving at any point, time things right. Do not drive under the influence of delta-8 THC or ANY psychoactive cannabis products.

Get Ready for Bed

There’s no one best time to use delta 8 THC! But a lot of our customers do love it at night. And we get it—many people report feeling a nice sense of calm and peace when taking delta-8 gummies.

If you’ve ever had a bad time unable to sleep due to the racing thoughts an intense sativa might promote, you know that it’s not always wise to take marijuana extracts late at night. Sometimes they help you relax, and sometimes they jolt you up in ways you didn’t expect.

In general, users report they don’t feel this intense burst of racing thoughts when taking Delta-8 products.

The perfect evening sesh with delta 8 generally starts around 2 or 3 hours before you plan to go to bed.

When to Avoid Delta-8

Really, you can use Delta 8 any time during the day—for the most part. However, as with anything, there are times when you may want to avoid using delta 8 THC altogether:

If a Drug Test is Imminent, No THC is Light Enough

Will you test positive for THC? Maybe! It’s possible that you will test positive for THC if you use delta-8, because remember: delta-8 is a type of THC. How often, how long, and how much you use, when you stop, and how your body reacts generally all affect the test results, too.

Right now, most commercially-used urine tests that test for THC don’t differentiate between cannabinoids—including delta-8 THC, CBD, and the rest of the cannabinoids. If you have a drug test coming up that will look for cannabis, it’s best to avoid delta-8 THC because any THC–including delta-8–could test positive on a drug test.

If You May Need to Drive in 3 Hours or Less

Just like light beer, THC light is a no-go for driving. Don’t drive under the influence of delta 8 THC—or any THC. It’s not safe, and it is illegal. Give yourself a three-hour window, or longer if you need it. Some users anecdotally report that the effects of delta 8 THC last longer for them, so err on the side of caution and don’t take Delta 8 if you think you’ll need to drive at all.

If You Take Medications

Just like other forms of THC, delta 8 THC is well tolerated. But like anything else that has its own inherent medicinal qualities, it can cause negative interactions with some medications.

Some examples of medications that have been reported to interact with THC include:

• Blood thinners and blood pressure medications [THC can affect circulation]
• Anti-anxiety medications and prescription painkillers [THC can potentially be sedating and some of these medications can as well]
• Heart medications
• Anti-epileptic medications
• Diuretics [THC can also be dehydrating]

Many medications could potentially interact with delta 8 THC. Always talk to your doctor before trying it if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking any medications so you can accurately assess your risk.

Final Thoughts: Why Delta-8 THC Light is Perfect for All Day Use

Any time can be the right time to use Delta-8, and effectively. Just remember to plan ahead, start low and go slow, and carefully pay attention to how it affects you.

You finally did it! You ordered your delta-8 THC products and you’re ready to go. But…go do what, exactly?

Delta 8 is known for delivering the euphoric feeling that cannabis users want without the “paranoid” or “anxious” feelings many associate with traditional delta 9 THC. So that means if you’re into more than the usual activities, you’re in luck.

From a clear-headed focus to overall relaxation without sedation, delta-8 products open up plenty of great activities. Here are some of the best things you can do under the stimulating influence of delta-8 THC.

Get Lost in a Book

A hot cup of tea, a few hits from a delta 8 vape pen or a tasty delta-8 gummy, and a great book makes for a perfect afternoon (or evening, or day, weekend—we’re not here to tell you what to do). Nothing beats getting lost in an excellent book if you are looking to expand your consciousness and knowledge.

Users say delta-8 THC gets you in the zone and improves concentration, so learning and thinking will feel right to you. And if you’d rather listen to learn something new, try the audio version of whatever book has been on your list.

Yoga

You’ll love yoga while you enjoy delta-8. In fact, if you’re anything like me, one of the hardest things about doing yoga the right way is letting go of distracting thoughts, being in the moment, and letting your mind wander off as you experience an elevated state of mind. This is the right headspace to expect from delta-8.

Our favorite way to do yoga with delta-8 is to first have a cup of tea and a gummy. We can relax and let the effects set it, and enjoy a little meditation, too. After a great yoga session, We’re still feeling connected and pleasantly energized.

Get Creative

We all do something different to start those creative juices flowing, but if you’ve never used cannabis, delta-8 has given you a perfect opening. Get ready for an inspiring few hours of drawing, painting, sculpting, sketching, writing, making music, dancing, or otherwise unleashing your creativity with delta-8.

Making music, art, crafts, and just about anything that takes a blend of thought and imagination is a perfect thing to do while using delta 8. This is one of the main reasons that cannabis and art are old friends. Wait and see what you make—not your standard stuff, probably.

Cook and Eat a Gourmet Meal

Elevate your cooking experience and taste buds with delta 8 edibles. People report that Delta-8 gives them the munchies similar to how that old classic Delta-9 THC reportedly does. Not only will you be focused and creative enough to come up with the perfect meal, and motivated by hunger to do it, but maybe being slightly buzzed makes tedious tasks like food prep less boring, and you’ll b ready to eat when you’re done. Magnifique!

Camping

Let’s get into the thick of it – take yourself or roll with your friends on a camping trip!  Whether you’re new to camping or a seasoned overlander, take this as a sign to go camping.  As a bonus, you get to enjoy the elevated vibes Delta-8 delivers when you’re literally high up the peak of a trail!

Look at Cool Stuff

Take in some art strolling through whatever museum or gallery is available. Is there a laser light show in your town? A planetarium? Go see a magic show and remember what it was like to really believe. Or check out some psychedelic videos at home. Personal bests for us: an outdoor glass art show and a neon store. A+!

Listen to Music

Mixing music and delta-8 is like peanut butter and chocolate, and if you don’t like that either, we probably can’t be friends. It may be your favorite playlist, but after a few delta-8 gummies, it’s a whole new experience.

Doesn’t everyone have their High AF playlist inspired by classic cannabis?

Hiking

This is among the sweetest ways to really experience being outside and feeling all of your senses being awake. Go hiking and explore nature; there is always a trail or two locally that you’ve never seen, or make a trip of your hike, in every sense of the word. Delta-8 delivers a body buzz to keep your body happy and a light euphoria to keep your mind engaged throughout the hike.

Play Video Games

You’re not always in the video game zone, right? But when you are…anyway, get there and love your stay with delta 8. You’re both happy and focused, and ready to dodge blue shells like a genius—or safely kill Trevor, if that’s your thing.

Watch a Movie or TV

Sure, this is comfortably in classic stoner territory, but so what? You can go with a light, goofy pothead tale like Pineapple Express or go for something more plot-driven than you normally would. That delta 8 won’t knock you out before the end, and you’ll still remember plot details. Woohoo!

Work in the Garden

Like other chores that are mood-lifting but, at times, can be tedious, gardening is a great match for delta 8 products. Have more fun in the sun with your plant life, both raising it and consuming it. Even if you live in a place with no yard, you can work in a community garden.

Take a Soothing Nap

If you use a high enough dose of delta 8 THC, you will eventually find sleep calling your name. First there’s that state of calm, and then utter relaxation. Eventually, you feel like curling up for a long nap, likely without any restless dreams.

What Will YOU Do With Delta-8?

Are you ready to get out there and go yet? Delta 8 products are an exciting new way to experience cannabinoids. This opens the door to all kinds of new activities in partnership with THC, so: what are you going to do first?
