Looking to spice up your next date? Forget the usual dinner and a movie—why not try something more laid-back and fun? We’ve got a list of stoner-friendly date ideas that will make your time together memorable. Whether you’re new to cannabis or seasoned enthusiasts, these activities are sure to bring you closer.

Cannabis Infused Day or Night Out

So you and your partner both partake in cannabis, and now you want to incorporate that into a fun date night. Well, you’re in luck! April 20, also known as 420 Day, is a significant date in cannabis culture, celebrated annually by cannabis producers, consumers, and advocates.

Cannabis culture, which includes the traditions and celebrations surrounding marijuana and hashish consumption, offers a world and variety of unique date ideas that go beyond the usual Netflix and Chill.

1. Dispensary Hop: Exploring Cannabis Culture

2. Exploring Local Dispensaries

This can be an overlooked date option, but if you live in an area with recreational cannabis legalized or you and your partner have medical marijuana cards, then check out some dispensaries that you haven’t visited before. Be sure to plan ahead to ensure you visit all the top cannabis spots and don’t miss any favorites.

Exploring local dispensaries together can be a great date idea, especially if you’re both interested in cannabis culture. It’s a chance to discover new strains, products, and even events or art exhibitions that some dispensaries host. You can make a night of it by grabbing a bite to eat at cannabis-friendly restaurants afterward.

Before your dispensary date, spend some time researching the marijuana laws in your area to ensure you’re following all regulations. Different states and cities have varying legislation around recreational pot and medical cannabis use.

Once you’ve familiarized yourselves with the local laws, you and your partner can each pick a site like WeedMaps or Leafly, then search for top-rated dispensaries in your area. From there, you can check out their menus and see what unique cannabis products or your favorite strains they have to offer. Don’t forget to ask your budtender for recommendations – they’ll know the dankest stuff on the shelves.

After visiting a few dispensaries and grabbing your goodies, the fun part begins – trying all the new cannabis products together! You may want to end this date with nature by packing a picnic basket with your favorite munchies and spending an evening outdoors, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine (if weather permits).

A cannabis-themed date night is a creative way to explore your shared interest in the plant while supporting local businesses and the arts and potentially discovering new artists, events, or legislation debates happening in your cannabis community.

Utilizing online resources

Now, thanks to Wikileaf and WeedMaps, you can search for the top dispensaries in your area and also check out their menu. I personally love to do this when I’m in search of a specific kind of cannabis or extract, or I’m just trying to find something extra dank.

These platforms allow you to browse dispensary menus and see what unique products or your favorite strains they have in stock. You can filter by indica, sativa, hybrid, edibles, topicals, and more to find exactly what you’re looking for. Many dispensaries also list detailed information about each product’s cannabinoid and terpene profiles.

Checking menus online beforehand is a great way to plan your dispensary visits efficiently. You can make a list of the specific items you want to grab, so you don’t forget to pack anything or miss out on limited drops or seasonal offerings.

Whether you’re a cannabis connoisseur seeking rare strains or just looking to restock your stash with high-quality flower, these online tools make it easy to explore the best dispensaries and products in your area. Just be sure to verify the marijuana laws and regulations where you live before making any purchases.

Staying informed on local laws

It’s important to be aware of the marijuana laws in your area, as they can affect your dispensary visits. Different states have varying regulations on the legalization, cannabis access, medical marijuana programs, and recreational marijuana sales.

Planning your dispensary tour

You and your partner can each pick a site, either WeedMaps, Wikileaf, or both, then search dispensaries in your area. From there, you can check out their menus and see what goodies they have to offer. Remember, it’s always fun to try something new, and a great idea to ask your budtender what their favorites are, they’ll tend to know what the dankest stuff on the shelf is.

Enjoying your purchases together

After you’ve checked out a few dispensaries in person and have grabbed all your goodies, it’s off to the fun part… trying all the danks you got, together!

You may want to end this date however at the food place of your choice, something tells me after trying all the types of cannabis you get, the munchies may come on!

3. Edible Night

Yum…. Edibles.

Personally, my second favorite way to get high is right behind extracts. Edibles can make for a great date night, offering a unique and enjoyable experience.

What’s fun about this night is, it can be however you plan it to be! Want to do dinner and a movie? You got it! Or maybe go to a concert? Go for it! Even an art show?!

Get out there babe, you got this! All you need is a delicious edible and a cab/uber driver. Sharing your favorite strain can enhance the experience, making the night even more special.

If you are fairly new to edibles here is a little advice:

The great part about edibles is the extended high, they tend to last a couple of hours depending on your body. However, they also take longer to get you high. It’s good to remember, edibles take about an hour until the cannabis is metabolized and will give you that high effect.

Be cautious though because edibles can also take up to 2 hours until you feel an effect, for this reason, people can eat too much because they think the edible didn’t work when in fact it just takes a little while. If you want to try and speed up your waiting time until the desired effect, 30 minutes after you eat the edible, eat a small snack.

This will speed up your metabolism and help the cannabinoids get into your bloodstream more quickly. Also, if you are new to edibles or don’t know your milligram dosage, start small. Oregon recommends 5mg for those who haven’t tried edibles, so if it’s your first time, I’d say 10mg max will be more than enough over the duration for newbies.

While waiting for the edibles to take effect, consider getting some fresh air. Enjoying the great outdoors can enhance your overall experience.

4. Home Movie Night: Cozy Up With Classic Stoner Films

Sometimes, the best dates are the ones spent at home. A home movie night is perfect for couples who want to relax, enjoy some good food, and watch classic stoner films. Grab your favorite strain, some comfy blankets, and get ready for a cozy evening in.

Here are a few must-watch movies that will make your night:


“Pineapple Express”: Follow the hilarious adventures of Dale and Saul as they navigate through chaos while high.


“Half Baked”: This comedy stars Dave Chappelle and is packed with laughs from start to finish.


“Dazed and Confused”: A nostalgic look at high school life in the ’70s with an unforgettable cast of characters.


“Cheech & Chong’s Up in Smoke”: The original stoner comedy that started it all—Cheech and Chong’s antics never get old.


“Friday”: Watch Ice Cube and Chris Tucker deal with their neighborhood’s craziness over one eventful day.

Make sure to stock up on snacks like popcorn, candy, or even some homemade edibles if you’re feeling adventurous. Dim the lights, settle into your favorite spot on the couch, and let these iconic films set the mood for a laid-back night.

A home movie night is an easy yet special way to spend quality time together. So roll one up or pack a bowl, hit play, and enjoy!

5. Cannabis Cooking Class

Want to impress your date with something different? A cannabis cooking class is a fun and educational way to spend time together. Imagine whipping up gourmet meals infused with cannabis, all while learning new recipes and techniques. It’s the perfect blend of creativity and relaxation.

In these classes, you’ll learn how to make infusions using oils, butter, and other ingredients. This means you can take what you’ve learned back home and create your own gourmet dishes whenever you like. From savory entrees to sweet desserts, the possibilities are endless.

If you’re not into cooking at home, no worries! You can also experience cannabis dining at specialized restaurants. For example, in Los Angeles, places like Cannabis Café offer a unique dining experience where every dish is expertly infused with cannabis.

Whether you’re rolling up your sleeves in a cooking class or enjoying a meal out, this stoner date idea promises delicious food and great memories. Plus, you’ll have plenty of time to chat and connect over shared experiences. Ready to get cooking?

6. Outdoor Adventures: Enjoy Nature Together

If you and your date love the great outdoors, why not combine it with your love for cannabis? An outdoor adventure is a fantastic way to bond while enjoying the beauty of nature. Whether you prefer hiking, picnicking, or just relaxing in a scenic spot, these activities can make for an unforgettable day.

Here are some ideas to get you started:


Hiking: Find a local trail and take a hike together. Bring along a pre-rolled joint or vape pen to enjoy at the summit while taking in the view.


Picnic in the Park: Pack a basket with tasty treats, a cozy blanket, and some cannabis-infused goodies. Find a peaceful spot and enjoy each other’s company surrounded by nature.


Beach Day: Head to the beach for some sun and surf. Bring along some edibles or discreet vaping devices to enhance your relaxation as you listen to the waves.


Stargazing: Wait for nightfall and find an open field or quiet park where you can lay back and watch the stars. A mild edible can make this experience even more magical.


Botanical Gardens: Visit a nearby botanical garden to admire beautiful plants and flowers. It’s a serene setting perfect for sparking conversation and inspiration.

Remember to always be mindful of local laws regarding cannabis use in public places. It’s important to stay respectful of others around you while enjoying your adventure.

Outdoor adventures offer fresh air, stunning scenery, and plenty of opportunities for meaningful conversations. So grab your gear, pick your favorite strain, and head out for some quality time in nature!

7. Dab Bar: Navigating Marijuana Laws

Dab bar

Yes, please!!

If you are lucky enough to live in an area with legal on-site consumption, and you have one of these bad babes in your area, take full advantage! As I’ve said previously, extracts are my top choice for getting high! That being said, this is definitely my date of choice.

For those who aren’t sure what a dab bar is, it is a bar where you can consume cannabis on-site. Most, but not all dab bars will have rigs and e-nails to use but are strictly bring your own cannabis.

You can experience smoking cannabis extracts at these bars. This will vary depending on your state or province and even from bar to bar, so if you are planning on checking out your local dab bar, make sure you call ahead to learn their rules and any local laws.

So splurge on that extra dank gram of extract and treat yo self and yo partner to a great night out! I’m personally a bit of a sucker for any extract with Tangie in it, so if you can find one, I highly recommend a Tangie extract with some low-temperature dabs.

8. Blind Date: Mystery Strain Guessing Game

Alright, this one is super fun and another one of my favorites! So here’s how it works:

Many jars of cannabis

Pick 4 or 5 strains with a high terpene profile (really stanky). Preferably ones that are very different in smell. Have your budtender label them, but cover the labels with receipt paper so you don’t know which strain is which. The term ‘420’ originated from a group of five students from San Rafael, California, who used it as a code for consuming cannabis. Now, for date night, have a printout of the most common terpenes in cannabis, Leafly has a pretty good guide on their website for this.

Next, grab a piece of paper and pen so you can track your guesses for creating each container. [Side note: it will be helpful to label each container].

Now, you and your partner will try to guess which strain is which for each container based on their terpene profile, and how they look and taste. You should even try the cannabis at this point and see how they each affect you! This can be fun all on its own and is awesome because it helps the user learn more about cannabis and cannabis terpenes.

Once all your educated guesses are in, unveil the jars to see if you were right or at least were able to pull out specific terpenes! Dave Reddix, one of the original members, helped spread the term ‘420’ after becoming a roadie for the Grateful Dead’s bassist, Phil Lesh.

9. For Sexy Stoners

Cannabis infused lubricant

Have a normal date night, or skip the date altogether and cozy up in bed with some weed-infused cannabis lubricant.

There are a couple of different kinds, and all have amazing reviews! (Editor’s note: Check out our profile of Pleasure Peaks, a company that makes infused lubes and hosts tantric getaways) I’ve heard some folks in Colorado calling these lubes the 20-minute orgasm guru. Doesn’t that sound great?!

Cannabis lubricant can be infused with just a regular cannabis oil or RSO. For lubricant that is infused with RSO, there tends to also be some amazing health benefits.

I’ve heard stories of it helping massively with endometriosis and that it also works great when you’re on your menstrual cycle! All in all, it sounds like a miracle worker! So give it a try, and let us know if it’s as big of a hit as others claim. These activities can be enjoyed year-round, making them perfect for any season.

10. Stoner Stargazing: A Date Night Under the Stars

couple, stars, sky

Stoner stargazing is an out-of-this-world date idea that blends the magic of the cosmos with the chill vibes of cannabis. It’s perfect for those who want to relax and connect under the night sky.

What You’ll Need:


A cozy blanket or two


A telescope or binoculars


An app like SkyView or Star Walk to identify stars and planets


Your favorite strains and smoking gear (joints, blunts, or a portable vaporizer)


Snacks and drinks

Steps to a Stellar Night:


Choose the Right Spot: Look for a location away from city lights. It could be a park, hilltop, or even your backyard if you have clear skies.


Set Up Camp: Lay out your blankets, set up your telescope, and make sure you have everything within reach. Comfort is key!


Light Up: Start with a strain that enhances relaxation and creativity. Indicas are great for chilling out, while sativas can make the experience more vivid.


Star Gaze: Use your app to find constellations and planets. Take turns peeking through the telescope or just enjoy lying back and looking up.


Talk About Space Stuff: The mix of weed and stargazing will probably spark some deep conversations about space, life, and everything in between.


Snack Time: Don’t forget your munchies! Pack easy-to-eat snacks like fruit slices, chips, or cookies so you don’t have to fumble around in the dark.


Stay Warm: Nights can get chilly fast when you’re sitting still outside. Make sure you have enough layers to stay warm as you watch the sky.

Pro Tip: Check if there’s any upcoming meteor showers or special astronomical events like lunar eclipses happening on your date night for an extra special touch.

Stoner stargazing is all about enjoying each other’s company while getting lost in the universe above. So kick back, light up, and let those stars shine bright!

Enjoy your cosmic date!
