3 Ways Stoners Can Survive Quarantine

3 Ways Stoners Can Survive Quarantine

Times are tough right now. For the past couple of months, we've all been quarantining. COVID-19 is still wreaking havoc on our health care system and forcing us to remain indoors to weather this storm. For stoners, this presents a unique set of challenges. Obviously, confinement isn't easy and this can be extremely difficult for everyone. However, for stoners, there are a few ways you can make the most out of isolation.

Now for many of us, the rest and relaxation of quarantining might be a dream come true - temporarily, at least. After a while, it can become grating and monotonous. Stoners traditionally come up with creative methods to adapt to their circumstances. Below, you'll find some colorful suggestions to liven up your quarantine.

 

1. Support Essential Workers

While many of us are searing through the Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime catalogues, others are on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19. Basically, this means they're probably busting their tails for long hours and putting their health at risk. So, what can you do to brighten up their lives?

Come up with some creative and helpful ways to show them love. Are they a smoker? Buy them a dab rig or bong. Send them some doughnuts. Even a simple text message containing words of encouragement can make a huge difference. Not only will this help to motivate them, but it'll give you a worthwhile activity during days of quarantine.

2. Step Up Your Smoke Game

There's never been a better time to master a new hobby or art. And finally, you have unlimited hours to smoke to your heart's content with zero obligations to interrupt you. This also means you have plenty of time to revolutionize your smoke game.

Practice rolling the perfect joint. Clean your bongs until they sparkle like the sun. Upgrade your pipe inventory with some new, state-of-the-art pieces. Try out some new, experimental activities like smoking from fruit. There are no wrong ways to upgrade your smoke game - your imagination's the limit!

3. Indulge in Top-Shelf Entertainment

Naturally, when we spend a lot of time at home, it's usually our inherent instinct to kill time right in front of the TV. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, if you monitor your time. However, it's definitely advisable to curate your entertainment. Essentially, this means that you shouldn't spend days at a time watching trashy talk shows with fist-fighting guests making sordid confessions. They might be fun, but they will take a toll on you when viewed en masse. Fewer things are as enticing as saddling up with a bong under $100 and watching fantastic movies or TV show. Hell, you could even read a nice, long book!

Try finding movies and TV shows that are well-crafted and inspiring. Also, it never hurts to laugh. Pixar movies, stand-up comedy specials, nostalgic childhood movies, clever TV comedies, and basically anything HBO has to offer make excellent suggestions. However, it's all a matter of taste. At the end of the day, you should just watch whatever makes you happy - even if that is trashy daytime talk shows.

4. Keep in Touch With Friends

Many of us feel incredibly isolated and alone. Unfortunately, this can have a profound impact on our mental health. However, you can make a concerted effort to feel united with friends and family with some basic computer or smartphone apps.

Download Zoom or House Party and have a virtual toke-fest with your buddies! Get some FaceTime in with parents or siblings. Either way, you should do this on a routine basis to consistently remind yourself that you are not alone. Regular contact with friends and family will have a remarkable effect on your psyche. And even if you don't feel like doing it, you should find the motivation. Ultimately, it will help you.
