There’s nothing like heading out into nature with a joint in hand and a bunch of friends by your side. Try something different this time and organize a cannabis picnic complete with your favorite dishes and strains. Read on for a few tips to make your next cannabis picnic extra special.
Essentials for a Cannabis Picnic
Pick the perfect cannabis strain
Whether you decide to consume cannabis edibles or opt for your go-to dry herb, pick a fun and uplifting daytime strain or you may find everyone slowly melting into the blanket. If you plan on playing music at your picnic, Green Crack and Sour Diesel will have you energized and rocking to the beats. For an uplifting and euphoric feel that will help fight fatigue, Durban Poison is considered the espresso of cannabis and will keep everyone wide eyed and energized.
Don’t forget the food!
There’s no such thing as a cannabis picnic if it doesn’t include food (those munchies hit hard y'all). When choosing the right snacks, pick dishes that are easy to transport, don’t require much preparation, and will be fine if left out of a cooler for some time. Munchie snacks like chips and dip, cookies, brownies, fruit salad, chicken wings, sandwiches, wraps, olives, cheese, and charcuterie boards are all great ideas. You can also elevate your picnic with a few weed edible dishes or drinks, but be sure to label them clearly!
Choose the right spot
The location you choose could make or break the entire experience. Local rules, common courtesy, and some knowledge of the kind of people who frequent the area goes a long way. Steer clear of anywhere with playgrounds or children and understand that not everyone is fine with cannabis smoking. In most legal states, including California and Oregon, it is still against the law to smoke weed in public including at the beach and parks. Despite the rules, most people do not care if you light up as long as you’re using common sense. Also be wary of using open flames in dry areas with a fire hazard. In these situations, bring along a vape pen, e-rig, or dry herb vaporizer that does not have an exposed flame.
