Summer is a great time for the outdoors. While the heat can sometimes be oppressive, summertime usually brings with it a lot of relaxation. And some say all this could be made better with a little weed.

All seasons pair well with cannabis, but summer is particularly great. Marijuana is a great partner for social and outdoor activities, making it the perfect guest for time spent sharing with friends or for engaging with the world in a way that’s deep and rewarding.

The following are five summer activities that a person might consider while high.

Take a hike

Hiking is not for everyone. While some people love to surround themselves with nature as they sweat and climb, others prefer their workouts to have a higher pace. Weed could potentially make a big difference whatever one’s approach, thereby helping to make the hikes more engaging while also helping a person appreciate the nature aspect.

Spend a day at the beach

While smoking on the beach may not be very pleasant (too hot!), there are other forms of cannabis worth exploring, especially with a little preparation ahead of time. And using weed may help a person have a better time with friends or even to help relax while spending the day alone.

Watch a movie while blasting the AC

A big part of summer is escaping the heat to the welcome relief of a strong burst of air conditioning. Adding some weed and a great movie to the mix is sure to be an experience just as good as any day spent outside.

Visit an art gallery or museum

Weed has been said to make visual experiences better and emotional ones deeper. While a person runs the risk of annoying accompanying friends with deep musings, thanks to the museum or art gallery offerings, weed will likely help enhance the experience.

Picnic in the park

Picnics are great, but some say high picnics are even better. Plan for a day alone or with friends, smoking a joint and eating delicious finger food. A little forethought, like whether or not to bring things like speakers and a wider selection of food, could make the day even better.
