Things stoners need: sesh room edition
A lot of thought goes into packing the perfect bowl of tasty weed. Choosing a cultivator or processor from the long list at the dispensary leads to picking which variety will work best. Then it comes time to decide whether to select a bowl, roll something up, or tap on a device–there is much to determine. The reality is that it should not stop there.
Consuming cannabis should be an intentional act. Setting intentions for the high is an effective way to get the most out of the bud. It also helps to have a righteous environment where people can relax, expel the nervous energy that weed can evoke, and get cozy until the fog lifts. These non-weed-related touches are bound to elevate the vibes.
Mood Lighting
The easiest and most effective ambiance change comes with properly placed lamps. Most importantly, never turn on the big light. A combination of pure ambiance lighting like the Ocean Wave Lamp, which projects various colors and patterns onto the wall and ceiling, with functional but soft lighting, is perfect for a groovy sesh with friends.
Water Carafe
Cannabis causes a dry mouth, which can be uncomfortable, but that is not all. Prolonged dry mouth might also increase the risk of oral infection and tooth decay. This can be avoided by having a water carafe or even a mini fridge wherever lighting up is the usual.
Having an open carafe, however, is not the move. Whether it’s a cat’s head or dust particles, stuff can get into water with out a lid. The Ame Atendre Carafe in teal comes with two nesting drinking glasses that also rest on top of the main chamber, keeping unwanted toe beans out.
Cozy Blankets
Not everyone will want to wrap themselves up in a burrito after puffing on a joint, but some will. When it comes to choosing a blanket, think tactile. Soft, minky blankets are often a hit. The most important thing to do is make them available. There are a handful of methods to ensure guests do not have to ask for extra coziness.
Farmhouse chic lovers will likely opt for a blanket ladder, but the most inviting method is to drape it over the couch. Getting up to grab a nicely folded blanket requires more steps than finding one already under you and climbing under it. Sometimes, the weed makes the body heavy, so the closer the blankies are, the better.
Record player
Music is often an integral component of a good ambiance. That goes for smoking weed, too. Go analog with a sesh space and have a record player with some chosen favorites before rolling up. The SpinBase dual receiver/speaker is a solid option for a quality player that even has Bluetooth connectivity. Set the right mood with the perfect tunes in a more tactile and textured way than streaming.
Fidget Toys
Getting high can bring nervous energy into the physical body, which is the perfect time for fidget toys. Fidget toys keep hands busy when a person feels anxious or bored, and there are many types. Twisty toys are small multicolored squiggles, and each color twists and turns to align differently. There are also pop-it toys, which can be very satisfying. A small bowl of these on a side or coffee table is a built-in tool for possible post-sesh anxiety. Music can help with this, too.
Blazy Susan
This is the only cannabis-focused accessory on the list because it truly brings any space together where seshing is frequent. Most stoners will have accessories, tools, containers of different products, and more around for specific times and uses. A Blazy Susan brings it all together.
The spinning trays are outfitted with places that hold a lighter, cannabis container, New Puffco Peak, bong, specialty dab stations, and more. They downsize multitudes of weed stuff into a dainty package. If a room or area of the house is often used for smoking weed, it needs a Blazy Susan. They also come in various colors and limited edition designs to fit any space.
Sesh room accessories are a must
Having friends over for a toke and a hang is quintessential cannabis culture, and Emily Post only just started writing the etiquette on the topic. Take it from cozy stoners everywhere; these are the things to have ready and able when the flame hits the bowl.
The decor and accessories on this list meet two needs. They set the ambiance for a good stoney time while also serving the needs of a high person in style. The only thing missing is the snacks.
