How to Plan an All Girls Smoke Sesh
Summer is in full swing, and what better way to spend a sunny day than getting a group of cannabaddies together for a smoke sesh. As I’ve gotten older I appreciate calmer smoking settings, and getting together with my girlfriends to share a joint always sets the tone. Gone are the days where we sat around a raggedy coffee table for a secret, rushed smoke. Now we are all adults and as our cannabis usage has evolved so has our tastes and the experiences we desire. Here are some tips to elevate your next Cannabaddie Smoke Sesh!
Set the Vibe
The most important thing to remember about getting high is that your senses go absolutely crazy. That means you not only want to see and taste amazing things, you also want to feel amazing. Creating a seating area filled with throw pillows and throw blankets creates a comfy vibe that is non threatening. You want to remember that over consumption sometimes heightens peoples anxiety, so you want to be able to provide a soothing atmosphere.
Other ways to elevate your smoking space:
Blankets of all types
A fan
Different types of lighting ie. floor lamps, desk lamps, led lights
Different textures ie furry mats, silk pillows, velvet seating
Incense, candle, wax melter
Good ventilation
The Word to Remember: Fresh
When I’m really stoned I crave things I consider fresh. Fruits, vegetables, water, fruit juice, fruit smoothies. These are the types of munchies my body craves, ones that don’t give me heartburn or irritate my acid reflux. I don’t like munching on chips or other foods that make my body feel like shit. When you’re gathering a group of people, it’s also important to remember dietary restrictions. With that being said, here are some foods I consider to be universally enjoyed.
Some Ideas for Smoke Sesh Friendly Foods
Fruit / Vegetable Plate - We already know that weed shares terpenes with fruits and vegetables. Setting these out according to the type of weed you have creates a complimenting snack that is light and universal.
Charcuterie Boards - I truly believe that Charcuterie boards were created by a stoner. The variety of fresh meats and cheeses delights the palate. You’ll find yourself zoning out over all the different tastes.
Frozen Desserts - Whether it’s ice cream, sorbet, or even just a simple popsicle, frozen desserts are cool and refreshing and perfect after a hot smoke.
Chips and Guacamole - Need a crunch? Tortilla chips are the perfect, airy crunch. Add in fresh guacamole or tomato salsa and it is perfect when you’re high.
Ideas for Smoke Sesh Friendly Drinks
Water - Nothing beats fresh water. Having plenty of water bottles or fresh water is vital during a smoke sesh. Add in some fresh fruit and it's a fresh drink that will delight your taste buds. Sparkling water is also a good alternative.
Fresh Fruit Waters - Aguas Frescas have become more and more popular and can be found at just about every La Michoacana. Recipes are even easier to find!
Non Alcoholic Mocktails - I don’t usually encourage alcohol at the smoke sesh. Simply because everyone reacts differently to alcohol and cannabis. I usually try to recommend having a variety of mocktails to give the experience of drinking.
Excite your Sights
Although I am a huge fan of the stoner movie, they can usually be hit or miss in a diverse crowd. If you have a TV where you can play a variety of things, here are some options that might entertain everyone:
Music Videos - Usually having music videos in the background of any social setting is an easy choice. Pick a good playlist and you won’t have to worry about it for a couple of hours.
Animal Videos / Documentaries - Nature in general tends to be mind blowing after I’ve smoked. I could sit for hours and watch videos of different animals in different places. I could literally zone out on them for hours.
Funny Video Compilations - Super cliche I know but when you stumble upon the right video, it will have you laughing for hours. I also enjoy watching RIdiculousness or Wiped Out. Nothing funnier than watching humans hurt themselves.
The Things that Should be at an Arm's Length Away
There are a few things that you’re going to want to keep close, and truly knowing your crowd is what’s going to determine what those are. For the cannabaddies in my life, I like to keep the following close by:
Ashtrays
Roach clips
Lotion
These are things that I would consider essential. Most of my friends smoke blunts so it's what I know to keep on hand and close by. If your group is more into concentrates you would keep other things on hand as well as if you ladies were more into glass. I’m going to give you a few lists depending on the type of group you have as well as just overall proper smoking etiquette.
Concentrates
Q tips
Torch
Alcohol (rubbing)
Dab tools
Water
Glass Smokers
Pipe cleaners
Filter screens
Hemp wick lighters
Grinder
Always Prepare for Emergencies
Over consumption tends to be the biggest pitfall for those who take part in a smoke sesh. With a varying degree of tolerance levels, it can be easy to get carried away. Always make sure you prepare yourself and your guests for if something like this happens. While seasoned smokers might not have to worry too much about this, having a group of novice smokers can get pretty crazy pretty quickly. One of the best remedies for overconsumption?
CBD for Those Uncomfortable Highs
CBD is universally recommended when you want to “sober up”. Either by smoking or by ingesting a gummy, or in any variety, CBD will help alleviate those uncomfortable symptoms. Make sure to keep some on hand to help a friend who might’ve had too much THC.
Just Remember to Have Safe, Non Judgmental Fun
The most important part is to have a good time vibing with your friends. Don’t worry about who is smoking what or how much is being consumed. Focus on yourself and how you’re feeling in the moment. A lot of times as a regular smoker we forget to really take the moment and enjoy the feelings rushing in our body. Take deep, long breaths, stretch your arms out, and allow the high to wash over your body. Being a Cannabaddie means not judging others for their consumption or tolerance level. Just allow yourself the freedom to indulge without stress amongst a group of your friends. Cannabis can turn out to be very bonding, so I hope these moments make your relationships stronger.
