Ask a Stoner ~ Pairing Cannabis with Winter Activities
Super stoked for your first ski vacay! đżđ¨ The slopes and cannabis culture often cross paths, but before we dive into the perfect pairing of cannabis and winter activities, let's talk about rules.
First up, can you smoke weed at a ski resort? Well, it's all about location, location, location. Some spots are chill with it, especially where cannabis is legal, but always, always check the resort's policy and local laws. Weâre all about that responsible fun, ya know? Furthermore, ski resorts are a sanctuary for families seeking wholesome outdoor activities.
However, if you wanna take a gummy in your hotel and then freak out on a ski lift - thatâs all fair game ;) All jokes aside, a study by the University of Montana concluded that skiers and snowboarders smoke marijuana to focus on and access internal and external facets of their downhill experience. Internal experiences are characterized by a physicality and perceptiveness in the body, a heightened self- consciousness.
Pre-Ride Rituals:
Start your day right with a wake 'n' bake, but keep it mellow. A sativa like Pineapple Express keeps the energy flowing without turning you into a snow zombie. In general, cannabis is a recreational drug, and that should be defined as 'down time,' not athletic activity. Please DO NOT get high if youâre just learning to ski or snowboard. Trust me, Iâm talking from experience here - youâll learn nothing! đ
Après-Ski Bliss:
My favorite way to enjoy cannabis in the snow is after conquering the mountain peak, then itâs time to chill. Break out an indica like Purple Punch for that ultimate relaxation vibe. Making snow angels on top of a mountain peak while high is a totally unique experience you gotta try!
In conclusion, cannabis and winter are a great pairing - thereâs something about cold air and getting high that hits different. Or just winding down under a warm blanket with your fave winter flicks. If youâre an experienced snowboarder - the slopes are your canvas, and cannabis is your paint. But remember, itâs all about respecting the mountain rules and staying discreet.
