Rules (interactive)

That's it.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

I am probably the wrong person to answer, but I usually just get a light buzz going and work on stuff around the house or yard.
Mowing the yard, pulling weeds, or working in the garden with a light buzz is pretty darn relaxing to me lol. Doing the dishes, laundry, vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom? None of those are particularly fun but are necessary and greatly improved by having a light buzz.
On the rare occasion I accidentally get too buzzed and end up glued to the couch, the dogs are more than happy to take advantage and receive lots of pets and lap time.
Chores for sure. Throw on an audiobook while doing the dishes.
Reading is fun too because you can get a little more absorbed in the world, if you can manage to stay focused.
Watch Baraka.
Go for a walk around the neighborhood.
Wake and bake. If you have a yard, go into it. Look at it. Look at the plants. Differentiate the plants. Take a picture of one. Use your phone to identify it with Google lens or iNaturalist app or something. Find the scientific name (evidently called "binomial nomenclature", huh). Use bonap.org to find out if it is native to your geographic area. If it is, keep watching it day to day. omg it is blooming. Look at the insects doing stuff on them. realize holy shit that's their home. they feel peace, like i feel when i hear running water. this is an ecosystem. If it isn't native, find out if it is invasive. If so remove it as best you can without disturbing your other plants. If it is non-native established or something else, consider keeping it depending on how dominating it is in your yard. Keep watching the natives. Identify others. Read their wikipedia page. Find out they attract monarch butterflies. Prune away the non-natives. Admire your yard. See a monarch and cry with joy. Continue into the fall. Keep taking pictures. Watch the petals turn in and shrivel a little. Witness death. Snow comes. See the stalks remain. They poke out of the quiet blanket. In other places, hard mounds of snow ice envelop. It melts to dirt. Brown yard and sticks are seemingly inert. Somehow it's all gathering momentum. Imagine next season. Those stalks weren't there before last summer. They're gonna explode and even more are gonna pop up. Get excited. Hell yeah. There's gonna be so many goddamn natives in my yard next season.
I was really baked and laying in my hammock watching the clouds while I listened to the LOTR audiobook and the clouds became dragons and hobbits. It was fucking awesome.
Sex. Sex is really awesome while high on weed. Especially lazy, exploring each other's bodies, no time schedule to keep type of sex.
I'll second Iced Raktajino and say house duties. I love getting a little high and tackling the kitchen or organizing the closets. Or cooking, cooking can be very satisfying while high.
Walks! Going out for a walk is super lovely. Tune in to all the sounds of the trees, animals, neighbors, etc. Take note how the ground feels under your feet and the cool air in your lungs.
Watch silent films and marvel at the theatery exaggerated acting. You can talk over silent films much easier and they demand less attention from the viewer. Some have their own scores attached to them so you aren't just hearing silence or someone's classical music playlist. Many are public domain and trivial to find online. Success scales with your interest in film criticism and how much you can tolerate thinking about a pretty messed-up period of history while blazed.
Also try SomaFM for picking a music vibe. It's donation-supported and ad-free, and a nice way to come across new artists.
Do something that is interactive and can help you reconnect in a more social, relationship building way.
Play some low pressure games! Trivia or party games like Cards Against Humanity, What Do You Meme, etc. can be even more fun with 2 people when you make your own rules. My wife and I like to play those games with the sole intent of making the other person laugh and disregard the whole competitive aspects.
We cook together. Do the prep work ahead of time, especially when it comes to handling knives. Then, after you partake, get to cooking! Make sure you set audible timers and both stay in the same room to keep each other safe and on track.
Go for a walk and enjoy some nature! Depends on where you live and what's available, but getting some outdoors time can be rejuvenating.
Our routine sounds a lot like yours, but we often incorporate games. Board games, retro consoles, Boardgamearena.com, online poker, we go through phases and will stick with one of those for a month or two, and then lose interest and shift to another.
- Mutual massages, set a timer and do 5min each, try not to get too sexual
- 30-60 min walks around the neighborhood - way better if the weather is in your favor but a shared walk while mildy high is awesome
- Brainstorming - We have great talks about the future, plans for our property, etc
- Sharing passion - My wife reads a lot of what I lovingly refer to as modern smut, fayes and werewolfs and weird bonding rituals and kingdoms and all sorts of fantasy stuff, she gets really into describing the latest book she has finished and I enjoy hearing about smut
- Gardening - Not everyone has one, I get it, but if you have access to a you-pick-it or the like it's a fun afternoon
- Hiking - again, access might be hard but we love a mild challenge with a big view payoff.
- Swimming
Edit:
- Cooking - so much fun to split up duties in the kitchen, she is usually cranking out a salad while I am working on the main
- Wine - ok this is dangerous but if you just limit yourself to sharing one bottle over the course of an entire evening it can be a lot of fun
Edit x2:
- Smoking more LOL
You're talking about doing an activity to enhance the drug.
Pick an activity you enjoy and can safely enhance with the drug.
Probably seems old hat, and seems unaffordable but perhaps take in a play, or a musical, or if you're lucky enough to be close to one still operating, take in a drive-in movie.
I always found that finding a reason to dress up at least a little and go do something fun together as a shared activity helped alleviate the boredom of the norm.
