In today\u2019s economy, going out with friends can be a pricey venture. But you can\u2019t let that stop you from hanging out and making memories. Fortunately, getting together and turning up with compadres doesn\u2019t have to leave you too broke to buy groceries. The solution? Have a party at home. Better yet, make it a stoner party.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the name implies, a stoner party is all about cannabis and enjoying it with friends. It doesn\u2019t have to cost an arm and a leg, and we\u2019re here to show you how to make it happen on a budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"People<\/p>\n

1.<\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Know the Law<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t live in a 420-friendly state like Colorado or California, throwing a stoner party can be risky. So, before planning your party, confirm that your state permits such gatherings. You can check with a legal resource, like <\/span>NORML<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if cannabis is legal in your state, local laws or your lease agreement might prohibit hosting weed-oriented gatherings, especially indoors. Always double-check to avoid any unwanted trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, even if cannabis is legal in your state, driving under the influence isn\u2019t. So, encourage your guests to show up in cabs, as they might be too high to drive after the party.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.<\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Prepare Your Space<\/b><\/h2>\n

Get your space ready for the festivities by clearing the floor and making plenty of room. You don\u2019t want obstacles that might trip up your stoned guests lying around. Also, have beanbags, sofas, and other resting spots set up against the walls for those who want to rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you live in an apartment? Since it\u2019s a weed party, you don\u2019t want to annoy your neighbors by stinking up the building, so set up air purifiers to keep the air fresh. You could also leave windows open for ventilation, but noises from the party might bother your neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.<\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Have Lots of Water and Snacks<\/b><\/h2>\n

Your stoner party guests are bound to get <\/span>cottonmouth<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>munchies<\/span><\/a> at some point. As the host, it\u2019d be unfair to leave your guests parched and hungry, so have lots of water or juice available. No alcoholic drinks, though, as <\/span>mixing booze and weed<\/span><\/a> can lead to overwhelming effects.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For snacks, you could order enough pizza for everyone or keep things cheap with chips, popcorn, or a home-baked cake. Go for crowd-pleasers that are easy to grab and don\u2019t require much cleanup.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4.<\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Shake Weed<\/b><\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t have a stoner party without cannabis, but since this is a budget party, you can\u2019t splurge on premium flower. Instead, go for quality trim or <\/span>shake weed<\/span><\/a>, which is bits of flower, leaves, and <\/span>kief<\/span><\/a> that broke off whole buds. Dispensaries often sell it at lower prices instead of tossing it out. While it\u2019s not the most visually attractive, shake can be highly potent, making it excellent for saving money without sacrificing the high.<\/span><\/p>\n

In line with being respectful of your neighbors, consider using a bong or vape for your cannabis. They produce less odor than smoking joints, making them a more discreet option for your party.<\/span><\/p>\n

5.<\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Movie Marathon<\/b><\/h2>\n

Now we get to the fun part \u2013 activities. Sure, you could all just vibe, get high, reminisce, and philosophize, but is that enough? Entertain your guests with a movie marathon and stay on theme by showing stoner movies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do we have recommendations? Of course, we do! You can\u2019t go wrong with any of the <\/span>Harold & Kumar<\/span><\/i> movies or classics like <\/span>Ted<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Dude, Where\u2019s My Car?<\/span><\/i> For more ideas, check out our <\/span>cannabis-friendly movie<\/span><\/a> list.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Drinking<\/p>\n

6.<\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Make Your Own Edibles and Drinks<\/b><\/h2>\n

Some of your guests might not be into smoking or vaping. You don\u2019t want them feeling left out, so let them join you in making cannabis-infused edibles or drinks with the shake cannabis. Brownies are hard to resist, and we have a simple recipe for making scrumptious <\/span>weed brownies<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Start by decarbing your shake by baking it in the oven at 230\u00b0F for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Once that\u2019s done, preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F and melt two sticks of butter in a saucepan along with the decarbed weed. In a large bowl, whisk together two eggs, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the infused butter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add one cup of sugar, a quarter cup of cocoa powder, half a cup of flour, a quarter teaspoon of salt, and a quarter teaspoon of baking powder. Stir until everything\u2019s well combined, then pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, and you\u2019ll have enough brownies for about 12 servings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively, make <\/span>cannabis-infused smoothies<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>lattes<\/span><\/a> with the decarbed shake. However, watch doses to ensure guests who are eating or drinking cannabis don\u2019t have too much. If someone\u2019s already smoking, they should probably skip the cannabis-infused treats, as this can lead to overwhelming effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7.<\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Get Your Groove On<\/b><\/h2>\n

No party\u2019s complete without music, and as the host, you have a duty to keep the melodies on theme with stoner songs. You can\u2019t go wrong with classics like Afroman\u2019s <\/span>Because I Got High<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Crazy Rap<\/span><\/i>. Other cannabis-themed tracks that are always welcome at stoner parties include:<\/span><\/p>\n
