4 Fun Games to Play While High
Monopoly
While almost everyone has played Monopoly, it’s worth trying it after some premium flower. Monopoly is a classic game to play while high. For years, it’s captivated players with its unique design and style of play, and the addition of cannabis heightens appreciation of those elements of the game which lend it its signature charm. You’ll find yourself examining even the smallest details, like the craftsmanship of the game pieces which have become so recognizable over the decades.
And if you aren’t into the classic Monopoly, why not try one of the themed boards? Missing your Khaleesi? Try a Game of Thrones Monopoly game night. Can’t stop singing along to your favorite Disney songs? There’s a Monopoly for that.
