People take stock of their lives, goals, and passions this time of year. New Year’s resolutions offer a moment to meditate on life and pinpoint hopes for the future. There is no reason they can’t include your cannabis rituals and habits. I know that mine will.

In the last year, I’ve been working to make my weed consumption a bit more healthy. My resolutions are centered around this concept, and others may benefit from paying attention to these places. Rather than weed New Year’s Resolutions to expand our horizons, these ones will fine-tune an already established practice.
Go smokeless
I have been trying to smoke less lately, but thick smoke calls to me. Either way, I’m hoping to switch to vaping and dabbing over ripping my bong in the new year. As I get older, so do my lungs and heart–going smokeless makes sense. This might be a good resolution for a younger crowd, too, with so many weed drinks, vape pens, and more–why not try?
Keep it clean
While I likely won’t retire my bong this year, I do want to keep it cleaner. Now that I have a Weeday bong, I am keeping my bong much cleaner, which is a blessing. Mold and harmful compounds can quickly grow on resin and dirty water. Let’s leave hitting a dirty bong in 2024. I’m walking into next year with a clean bong that will hopefully stay that way.
Shop Local
This is an ongoing goal in my life, and it goes double for weed. Pouring money into the local, family-owned cannabis industry is a high priority. This is how I hope to support a weed space that I like buying from, but it is not possible for everyone. Those without many smaller brands in their market should do their best to learn what they can about whoever grows or processes their weed. Knowing as much as possible about a brand gives me peace as I light and smoke their products.

Cannabis resolutions for staunch stoners
It is the first year that I’ve set weed resolutions, but I may make this a tradition. After over a decade of smoking weed, it’s time for change. A yearly meditation on my cannabis practice feels like a gentle way to make positive change with a habit that is a valuable mental health tool. There’s no way I’m going to stop consuming cannabis right now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be a little healthier.
