There’s nothing wrong with getting together with your friends and simply passing around a joint, but sometimes, you want to shake things up a little.
Whether you’re planning an epic 420 or 710 party or just want an excuse to get together and get stoned with your closest friends, Cannabis Bar Services has some fun ideas for how to throw the best weed-themed party (#7 is our current favorite).
What Do You Need to Host a Weed Party?
Planning what you’ll need is the first step in throwing any good party.
Plenty of Cannabis to Go Around
First and foremost, if you’re throwing a cannabis-themed party, you’ll need some weed! You can always ask guests to bring their own, but if you really want to throw a great party, you should hire a mobile budtender to serve up a selection of high-quality flower, concentrates, edibles, and infused drinks.
A cannabis bar is also a great way to help your guests connect and get the party going. They’ll have a central place to try out different kinds of weed and a professional budtender to guide them through the experience.
A Selection of Smoking Apparatuses
Since you will have a bunch of different types of cannabis going around, you should also consider having a couple of different ways they can smoke. Make sure to have a couple of hand blown bongs for the flower lovers and a few dab rigs for those who prefer concentrates. It also couldn’t hurt to maybe have a few bowls and pipes for those who like to smoke socially and pass around something smaller!
Delicious Snacks to Satisfy the Munchies
Appetizers are a must at any party, but especially at a party where folks are going to be consuming cannabis. Give your guests something delicious to eat when they start getting hungry after the first sesh. Including snacks high in healthy fats is not a bad idea — particularly if serving edibles — since fat can help weed be more effective.
Weed-Themed Decorations to Set the Mood
If you don’t already have some cannabis-themed decor scattered around your home, you’ll need to get some before your next cannabis party. Whether you go classy and functional, like a vintage bar cart to display your stash or opt for something more fun, like weed-themed balloons and streamers, the decorations will set the mood the second your guests walk in the door.
Stoned Activities to Make Your Cannabis Event a Hit
It’s also a good idea to have some weed-infused activities ready to go at your next cannabis party. Set everything up ahead of time to avoid the annoying situation where you and your friends get stoned and then can’t decide what to do.
Cannabis Party Favors to Wow Your Guests
If you want your cannabis party to be a hit, consider giving out cannabis-themed party favors to your guests. Small items like rolling papers, edibles, or even just Polaroid pictures from the night will help your guests remember what a great time you all had — and will get everyone excited for the next weed party your circle hosts.
10 Fun High Activities for Your Next Cannabis Party
As we mentioned, stoner-friendly activities are a must for any cannabis-themed party. Choose a few from this list or use it as inspiration to come up with your own stoned schedule. The sky is the limit!
1. Play a Smoking Game
Smoking games are a great way to get the party started. You can adapt many popular party games into smoking games or get creative and develop your own.
2. Compete to Create Picture-Perfect Bongs and Joints
Who can create the best smoking apparatus in a set amount of time? Try competing to see who can make the most unique bong from household items or who can roll the best joint in the least amount of time. The prize can be bragging rights, a fun award, or the opportunity to be the first to smoke the new creation.
3. Host Your Very Own Weed Olympics
The 2024 Summer Olympics are coming up this year. Seeing all those elite athletes compete on screen always puts us in the mood for a competition tailored to our own strengths. Consider combining a few activities from this list to host the inaugural Weed Olympics (Cannalympics, anyone?). Don’t forget an opening and closing ceremony — maybe lighting a ceremonial joint instead of a torch!
4. Watch a Stoner Movie and Smoke Along with the Characters
This weed party activity isn’t for the faint of heart or weak of lung. If your group feels more like chilling on the couch than competing, you can put on a classic stoner movie and take a hit every time the characters do. If you’ve seen the classics too many times, you can always put on a different movie or show and decide on the cue for everyone to smoke.
5. Have a Stoner Secret Santa
You don’t have to wait until the holiday season to show your appreciation for your cannabis-loving friends. For your next weed party, you can have everyone bring a cannabis-related gift for a weed-themed gift swap.
6. Do Some Baked Baking
Is there anything better than fresh-baked treats when you’re baked, too? You should definitely have some ready-to-eat snacks at your next weed party, but it can also be a lot of fun to cook or bake something during the party to serve your guests. Whether you go for something sweet and indulgent or something savory and hemp-infused, weed and good company make every meal taste better.
7. Sample Tasty Weed and Food Pairings
Take the culinary experience up a notch and curate a menu that pairs perfectly with whatever you’re smoking. At Cannabis Bar Services, we offer fruit and dab pairings and have been experimenting with flower and charcuterie board pairings. The flavors of the terpenes and the foods can elevate both the smoking and the tasting experience, and our expert budtenders will guide you through the whole taste adventure.
8. Get Creative with a Puff and Paint Sesh
If you and your friends are more creative than competitive, a group crafting session can be a great addition to a group smoke session. Try painting along to a tutorial, like the classics from Bob Ross, or just bring out a pile of craft supplies and let your guests’ imaginations run wild.
9. Celebrate Mother Nature by Getting Outside
Chilling on the couch with your friends is all well and good, but there’s nothing like sharing a joint in the great outdoors to bring you together. Group hikes are a lot of fun, or you can just move the party into your backyard to enjoy some outdoor activities, like a fire pit and cornhole.
10. Add a Weed-Themed Twist to Your Favorite Board Game
Incorporating board games or video games into a weed party can be fun if you and your friends are gamers. Getting stoned and playing a classic is great, or you can figure out a way to incorporate weed into your game, too. Maybe you have to take a hit every time you buy some property in Monopoly or play the classic “no drinking and driving” Mario Kart game with THC drinks instead of beer.
Book a Weed Bar For Your Party
When you want to throw a weed party that your friends will be talking about for years to come (or at least until next year’s 4/20 party), you need a mobile budtender. Cannabis Bar Services offers mobile budtending for parties of any size, from intimate get-togethers to weed-themed weddings. A cannabis bar will take care of all of the weed your party needs so you can enjoy your event as much as your guests. Contact Cannabis Bar Services today to book.
