So, it’s your first time getting high.

Whether you’re flying solo or hanging out with friends, what you do during your first experience can sometimes make or break it.

If you dive in without a plan or try to do too much, things can get overwhelming fast. But with the right activities and mindset, it can be an unforgettable, laid-back introduction to the world of weed.

Start with activities that feel comfortable—things you already enjoy or ones that are low-stress.

Below are a few of the best things to while high, helping you stay relaxed, enjoy the moment, and avoid any weirdness along the way.

Whether it’s a classic like Pineapple Express or an absurd animation like Rick and Morty, you can’t go wrong with watching a comedy while you’re high as a kite. Something about being stoned makes even the dumbest jokes land perfectly, leaving you giggling over things that wouldn’t usually make you blink. Even slapstick humor or cheesy one-liners hit different when you’re buzzing.

Pick a comedy that’s light, fun, and easy to follow. Avoid anything with a complicated plot or intense drama—you’re here to laugh, not overthink.

In case you start overthinking your entire experience with Mary Jane, just turn on some music. When you’re high, listening to music makes for a great distraction. Plus, it sounds way better while you’re stoned.

After your first smoke session, the munchies will hit hard. Make sure you’ve got plenty of snacks on hand—seriously, you won’t believe how hungry you’ll feel.

Making snacks can also be a fun way to pass the time while you’re high, as long as you keep it simple. Skip anything that involves sharp knives or complicated steps—you don’t want a kitchen disaster on your hands.

Stick to easy favorites like popcorn, chips, candy, or a classic PB&J. Feeling fancy? Try some nachos, a loaded sandwich, or fries with all the toppings. Just keep it low-pressure—trust us, you’ll thank yourself later.

Taking a walk or hike while high can make your experience feel even better. Nature turns into a sensory playground—colors pop, sounds sharpen, and even a simple breeze can feel magical.

Stick to easy paths or familiar spots to avoid getting overwhelmed. Whether it’s a quick stroll or a light hike, the fresh air will ground you and make everything more enjoyable.

Continuing your nature kick, lay back and watch the clouds drift by if you’re enjoying a daytime session—or gaze up at the stars during a nighttime one.

It’s a simple way to unwind, giving your mind space to wander without any unnecessary overstimulation. Whether you’re reflecting on life or just enjoying the view, it’s the perfect chance to connect with yourself and the world around (or above) you.

Getting creative while high is a vibe. Whether it’s doodling on scrap paper or going all-in with paints and a canvas, the process becomes way more fun.

Weed has a way of quieting that inner critic—suddenly, it’s not about making something perfect but just enjoying the act of creating. Don’t worry about making something Instagram-worthy. Just grab whatever art supplies you have, throw on some music, and let yourself zone out. A coloring book works great too if you want to relax without thinking too hard.

Whether you’re into comedy, true crime, or weird facts, listening to a good podcast can make the high feel more entertaining without the stimulation that video can bring.

Go for something easy to follow. Comedy podcasts like SmartLess or Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend will have you laughing along, while storytelling shows like The Moth or This American Life pull you in without requiring too much brainpower.
