From beachside sunbathing to camping under the moonlight, getting time outdoors is great for your physical and mental health. But for all its benefits, a long day in nature can take a toll on your body. After enjoying the elements, turn to a true natural remedy and let cannabis sooth your aches and calm your mind. Just be sure to follow local guidelines, stay safe, and use responsibly. Lets look at some of the best products and practices!

Feel the Fresh Air: Outdoor Activities Made better with Cannabis

Trail Trials

If you want to get those joints moving and give a boost to your heart, lungs, and mind, then hiking is a great place to start. When you return, try a delicious edible to let your joints and muscles relax. Your memory may be more vivid, picking up the colors, scents, and sounds of nature you took in. It’s like taking a second, soothing, exciting adventure and feeling your best while you do it!

Putting the “” in Wilderness

Camping is one of Americas favorite pastimes. Find a spot all to yourself, pitch your tent, and sleep to the peaceful sounds of distant crickets. But even the finest sleeping bag won’t fool you: you’re still sleeping on the ground. Bruises, scrapes, and fatigue are expected. But when the trip is done, guess who’s waiting to ease your pain and boost your spirits? That’s right, your favorite medical marijuana.

Indica In Da Sand

Some prefer a less active outdoor experience, and just want to recharge in the sun. Grab your beach chair and umbrella, slather on the sunscreen, and go make enjoy the high tide!

Mix up beach and hiking at Mustang Island, or get a little action at Surfside Beach just south of Galveston. For you nature lovers, watch the miracle of life as sea turtles hatch on Padre Island National Seashore. After a day of having your senses totally overstimulated, you’ll be happy to have your medical cannabis to process the day, relax for the evening, and share all your amazing stories with friends.

Staying Safe while Staying High

Were all very used to our comfy homes, so dont forget that the outdoors can be a challenge for anyone! Its important to stay savvy, be aware of your surroundings, and plan ahead for your safety. Heres a few tips for your outdoor adventures:

  • Sunscreen! Whether you’re splayed out on the sand or deep in a pine forest, those UV rays can still get you. Sunscreen prevents painful burns and skin cancer. Set a timer on your watch or phone so you remember to reapply!
  • Hydrate, feel great. Always make sure you’ve got more water than you need if you’re going outdoors. Dehydration can sneak up quickly, so be aware of its early symptoms and stay ahead of it.
  • Snacks! Hiking and splashing in the waves can both take it out of you. Keep a few granola bars, some fruit, or a bag of trail mix to keep that energy up.
  • Tell a friend. You should never go camping or hiking in the deep woods without someone knowing where you’re headed. Tell them when you’re coming back, so if you end up losing the trail, they can come find you.
  • Know the laws and follow them! Whether for your own safety, the safety of others, or just to avoid a pricy fine, make sure you research ahead for your outdoor destinations.

Options for Every Adventure

If you're outdoor adventuring, laying in the sand, or telling stories by the campfire, not just any strain will do! Your strain indication can make all the difference depending on your level of activity.

  • Indica: For lazing on the beach with a book in hand, listening to the waves crash against the shore, indica will keep you meditative and relaxed. A good indica gummy can also promote restful sleep even at the most rugged campsites.
  • Sativa: To make the most of your hike, a strong sativa can help get your body moving. Get the energy for those rocky trails or a beachside run with a sativa boost. For camping, sativas are great for a firewood collecting excursion, building your tricky tent with mental focus and clarity, or cooking up dinner over the fire pit.
  • Hybrid: Blending the best of both worlds gives you a nice, mellow high without zapping your energy. Hybrids are great for laughing around the campfire or telling spooky stories. These strains will serve you well on easier hikes that are more focused on the sights and sounds of nature. Or for a beach day where you want to spend some time in the waves.

At goodblend, we have a wide variety of strains in edibles, tinctures, and topicals. Take a look and find the perfect option for your outdoor cannabis adventure!
