Productive Activities to Do While Stoned & Stuck At Home

Our Top 5 Stoner Activities

Have you been stoned and stuck at home lately, pondering the ideal way to fill the time? We put together a list of wholesome activities for you to consider while stoned, bored, and stuck at home.

1. Yoga, Meditate, or Workout

It’s no secret that cannabis pairs well with activities of the mind and body; after all, cannabis is a holistic medicine that has been consumed by ancient societies to deepen spiritual practices for thousands of years.

In ancient India, Hindu rishis consumed cannabis to deepen their yogic meditative practices. We now have modern yogis carrying on this tradition by consuming cannabis before meditation or yoga.

We also have long-distance runners and gym rats alike that frequent Strains Dispensary Perris because they pair a little cannabis with their daily workout due to the performance lift that it can provide. If you are one of these people, there is no reason you can’t have some cannabis and workout along with your favorite app or YouTube video.

2. Clean or Redesign

The human mind, unfortunately, is prone to get stuck in a rut on default mode. Rest assured that being stoned and stuck at home is an opportunity to look around and ask yourself, “Does this space best serve me?” When we give ourselves a little time and space to answer this question honestly, we find that some improvements can be made to the space surrounding us – time to consider the ideal furniture arrangement. Rearranging your furniture to suit your comfort, and while you’re at it, maybe you’ll rethink your interior design altogether. There are no rules that say what you have in your home is permanent.

Why you are redecorating, why not summon your inner deep-cleaner and give your apartment or home a thorough cleaning. You’ll feel much better after cleaning everything.

Cleaning and redesigning your surroundings is a proven way of feeling refreshed and accomplished within while preventing autopilot from defining your space.

3. Teach Your Dog a New Trick

Is there really anything cooler than a dog that can do tricks? If you’re stuck at home stoned and looking for something to do with your doggo, why not teach him/her a new trick? With a little Pavlov know-how and tasty treats, anyone can teach their pup how to shake hands like a gentleman, rollover, or sit still.

4. Learn a New Skill

Maybe you lack the dog to teach something, and you’ve been considering a new hobby or skill. When stoned, bored, and stuck at home, it is an excellent opportunity to learn a new skill of your own.

Ever wanted to learn a guitar or become a painter or learn to cook? It’s never too late! A new hobby will be there for you with positivity and health. Being stoned and stuck at home is really an invitation to fill the void with something new that you’ve been thinking about but never started.

5. Have a Self-Care Day

Isn’t cannabis, after all, about holistic self-care? Why not double down on your self-care strategy by planning a day just for you? Maybe invite the spouse or significant other, perhaps not, because this self-care day is about what’s best for you. Awesome self-care day activities include anything from taking a bath, giving yourself a facial, doing your nails, stretching, or even taking a nap! Different strains can help with different situations, so make sure you get the right one!

  3. Set up your heatproof bowl to hold the finished product. Carefully, strain the mixture into the bowl, through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer.
  4. Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about one hour. Then, place it in the fridge until the butter has solidified and separated from the water.
