It’s spring! For the cannabis lovers out there, how can we pair our fave spring activity with cannabis? From spring cleaning to outdoor yoga, here are some of our top suggestions of how to enjoy cannabis this spring.
Spring cleaning
Spring cleaning requires motivation and energy. It can be tough to tackle the clutter in the house, or all the dirt that gets tracked in during spring! What better strain to inspire those things than sativa dominant ones? Sativa causes increased energy, boosts mood, and is more of a “head high” rather than a body-focused high. Dispensaries like Cloud Cannabis offer a variety of sativa heavy strains, such as Shake Blue Dream—perfect for daytime activities.
Gardening
Low dose edibles can be perfect for gardening. Vaping or smoking produce quicker effects, but a low dose edible provides a longer-lasting baseline which is perfect for an afternoon in the garden. An edible that balances THC and CBD can help with functional comfort, keeping you physically comfortable while you’re doing consistent tasks.

Outdoor yoga
Yoga in general is good for most people because it builds muscular strength and endurance, incorporates breathing techniques, and increases flexibility and balance while reducing stress. Outdoor yoga in particular is a perfect way to enjoy a nice spring day—it helps expose you to more vitamin D, it’s grounding to be surrounded by nature, and you get a mood boost from being outside. A CBD dominant strain is perfect for outdoor yoga—CBD lowers inflammation, calms the mind, and supports muscle and joint function.
Relaxing after exercise
Spring is a great time to boost your exercise routine. If you’re a runner, it’s so pleasant to be able to run outside in warm weather. Many workouts, actually, can be shifted outside in the spring. But increased workouts often cause increased soreness. CBD topicals or oils after a workout can help speed up recovery and ease muscle pains. Check out creams like Vlasic Labs from Cloud Cannabis.
Hiking
There are so many gorgeous hiking and walking trails around Ann Arbor—many opportunities to connect with nature on a variety of difficulty levels. Microdosing an edible is perfect for a hike or a walk because it helps encourage a meditative connection with nature, supports low inflammation in joints, and eases physical effort. It also releases its effects gradually, so it can last over your entire hike.
Sitting out on your deck and enjoying a spring evening
There are plenty of great cannabis drinks at dispensaries in Ann Arbor, like the Pleasantea brand from Herbana, feauturing flavors such as peach, lemon, and raspberry. There’s nothing nicer after a long day of work, or a busy day of spring activities, to sit on your deck in silence or with a loved one and enjoy a nice beverage. These THC drinks will help you feel calm, happy and relaxed.
Remember–keep it legal!
It’s illegal to consume in public, but you can consume outdoors on private property—think your backyard, or back porch, as opposed to your front yard.
