While we wait for more cannabis-friendly venues to become legal in Canada and the USA, there are still a lot of opportunities to get high during a romantic date, especially if you think ahead and pack a few joints for the road. If you and your date love cannabis, here are some of our favourite ways to enjoy high romance as a couple.
1/ Discover Your “Our Game” Together
Board games are a great way to spend quality time with your special someone, no matter the weather. Of course, you can’t smoke inside a board game cafe, but this is a prime opportunity to pair your favourite edible with a beautifully crafted coffee drink. Toronto, Mississauga, and Hamilton have board game cafes, like Snakes and Lattes, The Adventures Guild, and Mancala Monk. But you can easily find the one closest to your location by searching “Board Game Cafe near me” on Google.
2/ Go on a Romantic Hike, High
Nothing comes close to time spent elevated and in love in the great outdoors. It’s something about the fresh air, mountain views, lack of civilization, and a potent strain that works so well together. But, unfortunately, smoking weed and hiking is something everyone can get behind, even those that don’t consider themselves outdoorsy. So hit up a trail you are familiar with (preferably with lots of shade if you go hiking in summer), and remember to pack extra water and snacks because dehydration and munchies are natural.
3/ Learn How to Make Edibles Together
Even if your cooking skills aren’t the best, you and your date will have a blast figuring out an edible recipe together and testing the results. Making homemade edibles is easy, and the options are endless. Start by creating a weed edible essential, cannabutter. The easiest thing to do is incorporate the butter into a recipe you love cooking, like Nonna’s special pasta or your family’s favourite lemon cake. Just swap out some typical butter for cannabutter. Remember to test out your infused creations.
4/ Attend a Comedy Show
With stand-up comedy being a hot ticket these days, there always seems to be a show to catch. You don’t have to spend the big bucks for a famous headliner either because amateur and local favourites seem to be getting a lot of stage time, and tickets can be as low as $5 per person. Even if the comedians are bombing, adding a little cannabis to the mix will likely leave you and your honey connecting over the unintended awkwardness on stage.
5/ Indulge In Romantic Late-Night Dim Sum
Share a mutual passion for pork buns and dumplings? Dim sum can be romantic without being overly pretentious or costly, and you will undoubtedly leave having satisfied your craving for munchies if you stopped to smoke a joint beforehand. Bond over the dishes you both love, and introduce each other to some new items. This is an excellent idea for two but it gets even better when you expand to a double or triple date. Sharing is caring!
6/ Buy Two Tickets to a Haunted City Tour
If you live in or near a major city, there are bound to be haunted tours that run year-round (not just around Halloween) that illuminate a spooky piece of history you won’t learn in textbooks or every day guided tours. In Toronto, you will find tours of the Distillery District, the University of Toronto, and nearby Niagara at Fort George. In Montreal, you can experience paranormal activity in Old Port, Griffentown and even do a haunted pub crawl. In Vancouver, you can give yourself goosebumps in Gastown—of course! Since many tours have an outdoor component, smoking a joint could be a little easier, though you may want to ask your tour guide company about this.
7/ Spend a Romantic Night in With the Perfect Video Game
Getting baked and playing video games may sound like the ideal way to spend a Friday night at home alone, but if playing video games is something you love, you should share it with your date too. Stick to party games with split-screen so both of you can play together, and let’s remember the snacks for when the munchies hit. Super Mario Party, Rocket League, Super Smash Bros, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft, Gang Beasts, and Mario Kart are all great picks that won’t leave your date bored on the couch.
