9. Incorporate Weed Into Your Relationships
We all know that smoking weed with someone can make you feel closer and more connected.
Whether you’re toking up with your best friends or your significant other, getting high can be an intimate bonding experience.
So why not do it more and with more purpose?
Depending on where you live, you might even be able to attend a “couple’s cannabis class” together.
8. Discover Your New Favorite Strain
Whether you’re a doobie newbie or a cannabis connoisseur, finding a new strain of weed that you love is exciting.
It’s like a whole new world has opened up!
This is especially true if you are using cannabis to cope with a specific ailment, like insomnia or nausea.
7. Try CBD Products
You might be well-versed in weed, but we too often forget about the unsung hero of cannabis.
The non-psychoactive component, CBD, has myriad health benefits and is relatively easy to purchase.
Choose from a wide variety of CBD dietary supplements like capsules or tinctures, or even look into topicals like skin care products.
6. Perfect Your Joint Rolling Skills
It’s a new year! Time to learn a new skill! Rolling a joint can be challenging at first, but in time, you’ll find yourself able to roll a perfect joint in a matter of seconds.
You might even try your hand at more advanced shapes, like a cross joint or even a scorpion joint.
5. Incorporate Weed Into Your Workouts
Adopting a healthy lifestyle is a pretty common New Year’s resolution. But why not bring some bud into the mix?
Research shows that consuming cannabis before a workout session can be beneficial.
This year might be the year to hire Mary Jane as your personal trainer.
4. Take a Tolerance Break
If you’ve been enjoying the high life for a while, you might find that your tolerance level for the herb has skyrocketed.
If you’re not getting the total experience that you want, or if it’s taking more and more weed to affect you, it could be time for a tolerance break.
Hey, the new year is when you want to “reset” your body, right? Luckily, research shows that successfully lowering your THC tolerance doesn’t take that long—only around four weeks.
3. Learn How To Cook With Cannabis
While you’re perfecting the art of joint rolling, why not add another new skill to your reefer repertoire?
Learning how to make edibles will open the door to a whole new world of cannabis consumption.
Since eating weed is way more discreet than vaping or smoking it, this skill will take you far. And make you very popular at parties.
2. Grow Some Ganja
If you live in a state with either recreational or medicinal cannabis, you might want to try growing a plant or two yourself.
Growing your own cannabis is empowering, especially when your primary focus is alleviating pain or illness.
Plus, gardening is fun and serves as a mindful and stress-relieving activity.
1. Be more politically involved
Now more than ever, political activism is imperative in almost every aspect of life.
When it comes to cannabis legalization and regulation, there are tons of ways to get involved.
One of the many weed-inspired new year’s resolutions could be to join a team pushing for more reasonable laws regarding the plant or educating more people about it.
