Beyond the Screen: A Green Guide to Unplugging


In our technological world, unplugging can serve as a beacon of tranquility, inviting us to pause and reconnect with the simplicity of life beyond screens. It’s not just about turning off; it's about tuning in—to nature, to creativity, and to each other. Here are some ideas on how to hit the reset button and boost your well-being, with a little help from our green friend.


1. Unleash Your Inner Artist

Unplugging doesn't mean idleness. Instead, it can be an opportunity to engage in creative pursuits you usually don't have time for. Cannabis has a way of unlocking our creative doors. So, why not spend some time painting, strumming, writing, or crafting? Choose strains known for their cerebral effects that can stimulate imagination and artistic expression. Set up a comfortable space with all your materials at hand and let inspiration flow.


2. Zen Out with a Little Help

Find your zen with cannabis-enhanced meditation or yoga. Create a serene space in your home or find a secluded spot outdoors. A CBD tincture can ease you into a state of deep relaxation and deepen your meditation, helping to release physical tension and quiet the mind. As you move through yoga poses, let the gentle effects of cannabis enhance your body awareness, making each movement more intentional and grounding.



3. Cook Up Some Magic

There's something inherently soothing about cooking, and adding cannabis into the mix only doubles the fun. Explore the world of cannabis cuisine by creating dishes or treats infused with CBD or THC. Whether you're an experienced cannabis chef or a novice, the process of preparing, cooking, and savoring your creations is a delightful way to unplug. Focus on the flavors, textures, and the joy of sharing your dishes with loved ones.


4. Pen, Paper, Pause

Grab a journal and let your thoughts flow. Journaling can be a great way to unplug and dive deep into self-reflection. With a carefully chosen strain to quiet the mind, let your thoughts wander freely onto the page. Choose a comfortable, quiet spot, light some candles, and let yourself travel inward without distractions. It's a simple yet profound way to disconnect from the digital buzz and reconnect with your inner self.


5. Spa Day, Elevated

Transform your home into a spa oasis. Draw a bath with cannabis-infused bath bombs, apply a CBD facial mask, or indulge in self-massage with cannabis topicals. The anti-inflammatory and soothing properties of CBD can enhance your spa experience, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and calm. It's about treating yourself, soothing your soul, and yes, getting that skin glowing.



6. Get Lost in a Good Book

Kick back with a book and let the day's digital noise fade away. We suggest pairing your next chapter with a laid-back strain, enhancing your immersion into every narrative twist and turn. It's not just about reading; it's about fully experiencing the story and diving deeper into the worlds within the pages. This combo turns any reading session into a mini-retreat from the digital world.


7. Connect with Community

Unplugging is also about reconnecting—with the people who make life brighter. Gather your crew for a low-key night in. Share stories, play board games, engage in lively discussions, and enjoy each other's company in a cozy setting that fosters genuine connection and laughter.



8. Cosmic Unplug

Step outside when the world goes dark and look up. A quiet night, the stars above, and a gentle buzz can turn stargazing into a profound experience. Pair it with a serene strain

as the cosmos invites you into contemplation and wonder. Let cannabis subtly enhance your connection to the celestial, turning a simple glance upward into a deeply moving experience. It's a reminder of the beauty in the world beyond our screens.


9. Digital Detox Walks

Step outside for a walk and embrace the art of being truly present. Grab a vape pen or a joint and let the natural world amplify the experience. Let cannabis heighten your senses, making the colors more vivid, the earth's scents more aromatic, and the sounds of nature more harmonious. Challenge yourself to leave your phone behind and appreciate life’s small marvels without the filter of a screen. Whether it's the mountains or the coast calling your name, remember to enjoy responsibly.



March 1st is National Unplugging Day, and it’s your invitation to slow down and soak up the simple joys! It's about finding balance, seeking joy, reconnecting with yourself and others, and remembering that sometimes, the best way to recharge is to unplug and unwind. Cannabis, when used mindfully and responsibly, can enhance these experiences, making the day not just a break from digital overload but a holistic journey toward wellness and rejuvenation.
