Weed is for Lovers: 5 Date Ideas for Stoner Couples
The Jim to your Pam, the mac to your cheese, the lighter to your blunt. If you’ve been lucky enough to find a partner who loves cannabis as much as they love you, you’ve struck gold. Valentine’s Day is a great time to show your smoking sweetie how much you care by pairing their favorite hobby with an out-of-the-box date night. Treat them to a fun and flirty activity this Valentine’s Day to show them that you care. Below are five date ideas that every smoking couple will enjoy.
Breakfast in Bed
I have never met a stoner who doesn’t enjoy breakfast foods, and there’s nothing like a good old fashioned wake and bake before chowing down on some waffles. While your Valentine is asleep, sneak off to the kitchen and whip up their favorite breakfast meal. Then, roll them a joint to smoke before they eat. Bonus points if you’re talented enough to roll a heart crutch and really go the extra mile.
If you’re looking to give a great gift to accompany your culinary skills, rollingpaperdepot.com offers a RAW Lap Rolling tray which is essentially an oversized rolling tray with feet at the bottom, reminiscent of the TV trays that we used as kids to eat our cereal while we watched cartoons on Saturday mornings. Now that we’re adults, this tray can be used for far more than just holding your snacks as you sit in front of the TV. You can use this as a traditional rolling tray, plus it comes in handy for bringing your partner breakfast and weed in bed.
Adventure is Out There
Explore the outdoors! We all love to stay home and get cozy, but if you’re looking to switch things up this Valentine’s Day, choose an outdoor venue and pack a picnic with a few prerolls stuffed inside to enjoy a night under the stars with your two loves: cannabis and your valentine. Check out Nova Dispensary’s deals on Wednesdays if you’re looking for prerolls at a bargain price.
If you and your stoner sweetie are up for a road trip, the Boyce Thompson Arboretum is only an hour’s drive east from Downtown Phoenix. This botanical garden in the heart of the Sonoran Desert is the perfect place to bring your significant other to enjoy the beautiful views that our state has to offer. Bring along your favorite Sativa Hybrid cartridge to make the hikes and wildlife sightings even more enjoyable.

Cook an Infused Meal
If you forgot to make a reservation at your date’s favorite restaurant for Valentine’s Day, don’t fret! Making an infused meal at home for your stoner girlfriend or boyfriend will go over very well, trust me. Instead of pulling up a food delivery app and reaching for the TV remote, try something a little different. Showing that you care by cooking them dinner is a thoughtful way to say “I love you”. Plus if they’re a cannasseur, this is a fun activity that you two can do together. There are plenty of DIY ways to make cannabutter, but the MagicalButter Herbal Infuser does all the hard work for you. Plus, it can make infused cocktails, nut milk, butter, oils, and more. If you need a few herbally infused recipe ideas, head to hippiebutler.com and check out their blog on infused meals.
If you aren’t the cooking type and prefer premade food to take home, head to The Mint Cafe for a cannabis-infused meal. They have far more menu options than just “special brownies”, like pizza, chicken wings, and mac and cheese.
Drive-in Movie
West Wind Glendale 9 Drive-In off of 55th Ave has been a local staple for generations. Showing all of the big movies that other theaters offer for less than $8 a ticket, this fun and unique experience will be sure to put a smile on your date’s face. Watching a movie from the comfort of your own car, paired with a snack shack just a few feet away makes for a perfect stoner date night. Better yet, you and your date can laugh as loud as you want and talk during the movie and not get shushed by other patrons.
Bring along some blankets, food, and your favorite Hybrid cartridge for a fun and budget-friendly Valentine’s Day date. If you’re looking to bring along a cartridge that packs a nice flavor, try Moxie cartridges, found at The Mint Dispensary in Mesa.
Spa Day at Home
Sometimes you just want to relax. Valentine’s Day is on a Friday this year which means that your special someone might not be in the mood to go out after a long week at work. Setting up a spa day at home is surprisingly easy and will make your introverted partner swoon. Light some candles before they get home from work and have a few relaxing cannabis items waiting for them! WhiteCoatHempCo.com has CBD bath bombs that will melt their troubles away, as well as lotions, massage oils, and more. If you’re looking to heat things up, try out Stoney Yoni, a personal lubricant infused with THC by Sublime.
Conclusion
Whatever you do, make sure it’s an activity that you both will enjoy, won’t break the bank, and will provide lasting memories for years to come. Don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your infused meal, your adventure outdoors together, or your heaps of munchies ready for the movie you see, and tag Cannabis Cactus so we can see how your #StonerValentinesDay went!
