Best Things to Eat When Stoned
When experiencing the munchies, a common side effect of cannabis consumption, it’s important to make mindful choices about what you eat. These snacks satisfy cravings and enhance the overall experience when you’re high.
They offer unique flavors and textures, ensuring a diverse snacking experience. Many of these options are also easy to prepare or readily available, which is crucial when altered.
5 Best Meals When You’re High
If you’re looking for an actual meal, we’ve also collected some of the best foods to eat when you’re hungry enough for more than just a snack. Because let’s be honest, is there anything better than coming home from a long day at work, getting super high, and smashing a big, dank meal that perfectly hits the spot? Nope.
Pasta
Pasta is one of the most versatile meals; you can’t go wrong with it. A comfort food staple, pasta feels like a big hug in a bowl when you’re super high. (Pro tip: You can even eat it cold! Pasta salad is usually seen as a side, but we firmly believe pasta salad is a whole meal.)
Burgers
Burgers are another comfort food staple and can only be made better by a good case of the munchies. If you’re in desperate need, thankfully, there’s a fast-food joint within what feels like a 10-foot radius of us at all times here in the States, but there’s almost nothing better than a homemade burger.
Plus, when you’ve got a ravenous case of the munchies, you don’t want to worry about looking cute; you want to eat, so what could be better than stuffing your face with a messy burger in peace?
Mac and Cheese
Mac and cheese is one of the most satisfying things to eat when your munchies are in full swing. Out of the box or homemade, it doesn’t matter––we’ve never met a mac and cheese we haven’t liked.
It almost feels pointless to go on because is there any other point to ‘mac and cheese’ that needs proving other than… mac and cheese? But, if you need us to go on and endorse possibly the most iconic stoner meal of all time, we will.
(Pro tip: if you don’t have the ingredients to make mac and cheese from scratch, you can easily customize boxed brands! You can add spices like garlic and onion powder, extra cheese if you have any, and even top it with hot sauce for some buffalo mac action.)
Breakfast Sandwiches
There’s a solid argument to be made about breakfast being the ultimate meal for any time of day, and when you’re riding a big wave of the munchies, almost nothing hits the spot better than a dank breakfast sandwich. Plus, the sandwich makes it ergonomic and easy to eat when stoned. (Pro tip: if breakfast sandwiches aren’t your thing, doing breakfast for dinner can be just as satisfying!)
Sushi
If you’ve never gotten super stoned and gone out for sushi, please take this as a sign to do so immediately. Sushi is the perfect stoner food, already proportioned into bite-sized pieces of deliciousness. When you’re high, it can be the pinnacle of dining experiences. Plus, a warm, cozy, tasty bowl of miso soup when you’re freshly high? Unbeatable.
5 Best Gas Station Snacks While High
All seasoned weed smokers know that some of the best munchies, when high, can be found at the gas station. Since the gas station is a frequent stop for stoners, these are our top five picks of the best high snacks to grab and go when the munchies hit while you’re out and about.
Something Spicy
The gas station is a paradise of spicy, crunchy deliciousness. With Hot Fries, Hot Cheetos, Takis, and an array of spicy salsas, any spicy snack will work here. (Pro tip: Pair it with something cold and sweet, like an ice cream bar or a slushie, for the perfect balance. It’s the ideal way to wash down the heat!)
Chips and Dip
If you aren’t into spicy snacks, you can always opt for a bag of chips and some French onion dip or nacho cheese. (Pro tip: Cheetos dipped in nacho cheese is possibly the most heavenly combination ever, munchies or not). One of the best parts about gas stations is that they don’t just supply the chips; they provide the dip. How cool is that?
Cookies. Candy Bars. Pastries
Gas stations are little slices of heaven for people with a sweet tooth, with packs of cookies, honey buns, cupcakes, pastries, and candy bars lining the walls. The only rival to a kid in a candy store is a stoner with the munchies and a sweet tooth in a gas station. Bodegas and convenience stores are a sweet lover’s paradise.
Fruit Candies or Sour Gummies
Fruit candies and gummies are popular snack options, especially for those experiencing munchies. Their flavors can range from sweet to tangy, satisfying different taste buds. Look for brands that use organic ingredients and natural fruit juices for flavoring.
It’s still worth remembering to consume these in moderation. Even healthier options contain sugar and should be part of a balanced diet. Consider fresh or dried fruit options if you’re looking for a fruity snack with more nutritional value.
Beverages for Days
Sometimes, there’s no better munchie than a delicious, thirst-quenching beverage. Thankfully, gas stations have drinks for everyone––from water, iced teas, lemonades, sports drinks, energy drinks, coffees, slushies, and sodas. There’s almost no drink you can’t find at the gas station. And that’s a beautiful thing. Cottonmouth stands no chance against a well-stocked gas station.
5 Best Snacks When High at Home
Some of the best stoner snacks are created by a powerhouse combination of munchies, ingenuity, and, often, desperation.
Because at one time or another, every stoner had eaten something extremely questionable during times when there was little to no other choice. But thankfully, that’s why we’re here: so you never have to eat peanut butter and pickle sandwiches again. (Seriously, please don’t.)
Pizza, Any Pizza
Could this be the best food when high? Maybe. The best part about pizza is that this can be subjective; all a pizza needs is bread, sauce, cheese, and an oven. Pizza bagel? Let’s go. Pizza on a pita? Sounds dank.
Pizza sandwich? Sure, it can’t be too much different than a spaghetti sandwich. But, if all else fails, a frozen pizza will taste just as good as a delivery pizza (or even better, despite what certain brands may tell you.)
Ice Cream or ‘Nice Cream’
Ice cream is one of the most popular munchie snacks, but you’re severely missing out if you’ve never tried it in one of your sessions. If you’re worried about how many calories they consume during a munchie session––because we’ve all been mad at ourselves the next day for smashing an entire bag of chips in one sitting––a nice cream is a fantastic option that’s not only just as delicious as regular ice cream but has considerably fewer calories (and can even be considered healthy.)
So, what is nice cream? Nice cream is a homemade version of ice cream that uses frozen bananas as a base instead of dairy. That might initially sound intimidating, but making nice cream might be one of the easiest homemade desserts ever.
All you need to get started are three essential ingredients and one appliance: frozen bananas, another frozen fruit of your choice, a milk of your choice, and a food processor or blender. (This will work best with a food processor, but we know only some have one, so a lower setting on a blender will work, too.)
Once you have your basic ingredients, there’s not much to it. Put your frozen bananas, other frozen fruit (raspberries, blueberries, etc.), and milk in a food processor. Then, gently blend until the mixture is thick, creamy, and ice cream-like.
The best thing about nice cream is that you can get endlessly creative with it. You can switch up your fruits, add vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, and whipped cream. Anything you like in regular ice cream can be added to or onto nice cream. Plus, since it’s mostly fruit, you won’t feel like you just ate an entire tub of dairy when you wake up the following day. (But don’t worry, we also won’t judge you if you do. It happens.)
Ramen Noodles
Ramen noodles are the best option for urgent munchies. Instant ramen noodles are instant; even ramen in packets cooks in just a few minutes. Ramen is already delicious, but if you’re feeling up to it, you can get super creative and customize it to your mood.
Add veggies like onions, garlic, peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli. This is the best time to let your high mind run free: look at what you have in the fridge and let your intuition guide you. Some of the best dishes have been created by hungry stoners who have added unexpected things together!
Fruit Salad
If you need something that simultaneously eliminates the munchies and cottonmouth, fruit salad is your best friend. Since fruit is so juicy, it can satisfy both your hunger and thirst at the same time. Plus, if you add mango, you can amplify your high!
Mangos and cannabis are both rich in a chemical called myrcene, which is a terpene that makes you feel relaxed and sleepy. When you ingest cannabis, you are ingesting myrcene, and if you eat mangos after you’re high, the added myrcene will amplify the effects significantly.
Bagels or Toast
If all else fails, is there anything better than bread? (That’s a rhetorical question because the answer is not.) If you don’t have all of the ingredients necessary to make a full-on sandwich, there’s no shame in throwing some bread in the toaster, slapping some butter on it, and going to town.
But if you need more than butter, even toast is a versatile food. You can make avocado toast, hummus toast, peanut butter toast, or even toasted peanut butter and jelly. The options are truly endless.
Best Salty Snacks while High
Everybody loves a salty snack when they are high. Some of the most common salty snacks are chips, pretzels, nachos, and popcorn. These are easy to munch and can provide texture and flavor.
Other heartier snacks could make a full meal, like some fries (top them with some cheese), avocado toast, chips, and some salsa, or even a hot dog with a few toppings could work. Of course, prepackaged can work, or if you don’t have a budget limit, snacks like pizza slices or crunch wraps could also taste pretty good. Just make sure to stay away from things that require cutting or heating.
If you want instant ramen, we recommend heating the water before having some tokes and preparing everything beforehand. Also, keep plastic containers and paper towels nearby so you won’t have to worry about making a mess while you’re high as a kite.
Best Sweet Snacks When High
As with most snacks, it all depends on your palate and favorite choices. Some users prefer decadent sweets like cupcakes or brownies, while others are fine with just a few sour gummies or candies.
Our sentimental favorites are hand pies and pastries. You can get sweet bread and have it with some milk, or just enjoy baked goods like chocolate chip cookies while you have your favorite edible.
Fruits are a good option if you are trying to be healthy when snacking. Berries like blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries are nutritious, sweet, and have few calories. You can also spice up your snack with granola and yogurt and have a whole snack full of protein and nutrients.
Other sweet treats you can try are frappés or other cold drinks. Avoid hot cocoa or try to have it lukewarm to prevent accidents while high. Juice boxes are also a good option if you want something quick and sweet without having to munch or don’t feel like eating something with texture.
What is the Best Snack While High?
While the “best” snack, while high, can vary depending on personal preferences, there are several picks that are consistently popular among cannabis users.
Chips and dip are often considered a top-tier snack for those who are high. A wide range of options, from classic potato chips to tortilla chips, paired with various dips. Chips and dip are great for sharing, making them ideal for group sessions.
For those with a sweet tooth, chocolate is known to taste better during one of your sessions. Oreos and ice cream are also popular because of their versatility.
Savory options like pizza and popcorn are customizable with flavorful toppings and easy to make. But if you’re healthier, you’ll never go wrong with fruits like grapes or watermelon, which are both sweet and hydrating.
