If you ask me, every video game is more fun when stoned.
But weed definitely enhances the fun more with some games than with others.
For some gamers, certain genres lend themselves especially well to smoking.
But I’ve found I enjoy being stoned while playing games, no matter then genre.
That said, I tend to prefer strategy games and role-playing games overall.
So those are also the best video games to play when stoned for me.
But not for everyone. That is why the list below is not my list. I gave my input, but a also asked a bunch of my friends. These are the consensus best video games to play after smoking weed.
Best Video Games To Play When High
There are games here from many genres. The main thing they all seem to have in common is an engrossing story and an atmosphere that really sucks you in.
Minecraft
Millions of people love Minecraft for its simplicity and the fact that it allows you to modify and code the game to suit your style of play and the way it looks.
As per a new study on mental health from the University of Missouri, cases of mental illness are on the rise, but they could be combated by playing games like Minecraft while also using cannabis.
Reese Cromwell, a participant in the study, shared his input, “I struggle with chronic anxiety and depression, but when I relax with cannabis and dive into the Minecraft world, those thoughts fade away completely. I have experimented with various medications before, each with its drawbacks, but enjoying a high and crafting imaginative roller coasters in creative mode has no negative effects and doesn’t involve dealing with insurance.”
Skyrim
Skyrim offers the ultimate gaming adventure! With hundreds of quests, complete character customization, and incredible storylines, gamers find it impossible to tear themselves away from this wonderful game.
Skyrim requires you to complete various quests, gain skills, and create characters as you try to defeat Alduin the World-Eater who prophesies to destroy the world.
As a Redditor puts it: “Playing Skyrim when high on weed draws you into the game even more and makes it more fun.” As such, Skyrim is enjoyable in any state of consciousness!
Fallout
Fallout has many versions and most gamers will agree that Fallout 4 and New Vegas are the two of its best. The game series is even credited with renewing consumer interest in the role-playing video game genre.
In Fallout 4, gamers must navigate through an apocalyptic wasteland, solve hundreds of main quests and side quests, and keep their family safe.
Tip from smokers: if you want to enjoy the Fallout series better, is recommended that you smoke a cannabis strain like Jack Herer, ACDC, or Sour Diesel to improve focus and concentration. These are some of the best strains to smoke while gaming.
Doom
Despite being released way back in the 1990s, Doom had excellent graphics, especially compared to other similar games in that era. In fact; Doom is still considered a one-of-a-kind 3D shooter game with highly immersive gameplay.
Playing the game stoned makes it even more immersive and fun. If you wish to remain relaxed and maintain your composure, look for a CBD-based strain that lowers stress and anxiety and has fewer psychoactive effects.
Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is perfect for enjoying with friends while smoking weed, due to its expansive open-world and diverse activities.
Being stoned enhances GTA’s experience, especially because it makes exciting activities like speedy driving and shootouts even more exhilarating. Its multiplayer mode also allows friends to join in for shared adventures and mischief, creating a fun and immersive gaming atmosphere.
The Last Of Us
The Last of Us is a post-apocalyptic game that tells the story of a couple who journey westward to find a cure for a deadly plague. The characters are not merely reacting to immediate challenges; their actions are also layered with deep emotional and moral complexities. When you combine this with weed, you get an even more compelling and immersive experience.
The game also excels due to its intense focus on narrative and character development. Gamers loved The Last of Us for its sophisticated storytelling technique and intricately woven, complex characters with multifaceted motives. And the experience is further enhanced when you are high.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn succeeds where many horror games fail: it instills genuine fear within the minds of the players for its characters. Each character is portrayed with remarkable realism and individuality, which makes the storyline even more compelling.
Until Dawn’s gameplay also strikes a perfect balance between crafting an engaging narrative and delivering heart-pounding action sequences. When you play Until Dawn after getting high on your favorite strain, you will be even more emotionally invested throughout its gripping experience.
Outer Wilds
Outer Wilds offers a one-of-a-kind gaming experience and you should go into it knowing as little as possible. After all, it is a game about exploration and discovery and every player must uncover its many delights on their own.
However, enthusiasts have mixed opinions about playing this game when stoned. Some believe that the game is very ‘detail-heavy’ so you could miss important details if you are stoned.
Others feel that weed heightens the immersive experience of Outer Wilds; many quantum activities like trying to land on the sun station or venturing into the Giant’s Deep become a lot scarier.
Risk Of Rain
In Risk of Rain, each gamer has the option to select from a variety of survivors, each possessing distinct abilities. Based on the character you choose, you get diverse gameplay.
The primary objective of the game is to advance through multiple levels as you combat aliens and locate a teleporter. Great music by famous composer Chris Christodoulou and stunning graphics make this game highly popular.
When you play RoR stoned, it becomes even more immersive. Pro Tip: beautiful tracks like Coalescence might make you slightly emotional, so you might want to choose your strain accordingly!
Drug Dealer Simulator
What better game to play stoned than Drug Dealer Simulator? The addictive game offers players a unique glimpse into the world of the illicit drug trade. You need to procure and sell drugs, establish clientele, and expand your distribution network.
Thanks to its ironic addictiveness, DDS is highly popular among stoners. A good strain of weed will help you have an even more immersive experience as you get into the routine of the drug business. The game is sure to be more captivating and engaging for hours on end when you are high.
Gris
Gris is an amazing game to play when high on weed (or on any drug for that matter). Every frame of Gris is a visual piece of art- so many critics and bloggers have raved about it since it came out in 2018 on macOS, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, and iOS.
If you play Gris while high, you will be better able to appreciate its visual and audible beauty. The storyline is beautiful – it has love, loss, grieving, and healing, and being stoned will amplify these emotions and make it more immersive.
