My wife and I use cannabis because of health and mental practices.
We are getting bored with our current routine. We watch tv shows or movies, we listen to music, we engage in brain rot. Stuff like that.
What are your suggestions? We like calm vibes.
I am probably the wrong person to answer, but I usually just get a light buzz going and work on stuff around the house or yard.
Mowing the yard, pulling weeds, or working in the garden with a light buzz is pretty darn relaxing to me lol. Doing the dishes, laundry, vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom? None of those are particularly fun but are necessary and greatly improved by having a light buzz.
On the rare occasion I accidentally get too buzzed and end up glued to the couch, the dogs are more than happy to take advantage and receive lots of pets and lap time.
Chores for sure. Throw on an audiobook while doing the dishes.
Reading is fun too because you can get a little more absorbed in the world, if you can manage to stay focused.
Watch Baraka.
Go for a walk around the neighborhood.
Wake and bake. If you have a yard, go into it. Look at it. Look at the plants. Differentiate the plants. Take a picture of one. Use your phone to identify it with Google lens or iNaturalist app or something. Find the scientific name (evidently called “binomial nomenclature”, huh). Use bonap.org to find out if it is native to your geographic area. If it is, keep watching it day to day. omg it is blooming. Look at the insects doing stuff on them. realize holy shit that’s their home. they feel peace, like i feel when i hear running water. this is an ecosystem. If it isn’t native, find out if it is invasive. If so remove it as best you can without disturbing your other plants. If it is non-native established or something else, consider keeping it depending on how dominating it is in your yard. Keep watching the natives. Identify others. Read their wikipedia page. Find out they attract monarch butterflies. Prune away the non-natives. Admire your yard. See a monarch and cry with joy. Continue into the fall. Keep taking pictures. Watch the petals turn in and shrivel a little. Witness death. Snow comes. See the stalks remain. They poke out of the quiet blanket. In other places, hard mounds of snow ice envelop. It melts to dirt. Brown yard and sticks are seemingly inert. Somehow it’s all gathering momentum. Imagine next season. Those stalks weren’t there before last summer. They’re gonna explode and even more are gonna pop up. Get excited. Hell yeah. There’s gonna be so many goddamn natives in my yard next season.
I was really baked and laying in my hammock watching the clouds while I listened to the LOTR audiobook and the clouds became dragons and hobbits. It was fucking awesome.
