Safety Outdoors
Whenever you do anything, safety is always first! Practicing safe cannabis use helps you have the best possible experience as well as adding etiquette to others around you. Here are some tips to keep both in mind when you hit the trails.
Respect Your Fellow Hiker
The golden rule treat hikers or people in general the way you want to be treated. Not everyone is going to like cannabis or its smell, make sure to keep this in mind while on the go. This is especially true around crowds, families and children.
Don’t Forget the Water
Whenever you are outdoors staying hydrated is must! Especially if you are going to consume in cannabis, you’ll be thankful for some water when that dry cotton mouth hits you. Cannabis can dehydrate you, so make sure to pack and drink a lot of water.
Clean Your Area
When deciding to enjoy in the leafy greens outdoors, leaving a mess is a big no-no. It might not seem like a big deal to toss the access on the ground or trail, but it is truly is. Discarding even an extinguished roach not only makes the place dirty but could make it harder for your fellow enthusiasts. People may see the trash and complain, enough complaints and smoking maybe eliminated altogether. No matter how small, make sure to pick up your trash.
Be Smart about Use of Heat
The end of Summer is always extremely hot and dry. Tossing a joint or lit roach could have devastating effects on the dry areas around you, ruining the trails around you, which is not only bad for you but other hikers as well. Always be smart and make sure to abide by the fire laws in your surrounding area.
Know Where You’re Going
This may sound redundant but its true, you should always know your route. You don’t want to be that hiker that can’t remember where they are going or the direction they are in due to being a little too high. This is where you can get lost and eventually have to retrace your steps. Leave that out a map your route pre-hiking. A good tip, bring a topography map or GPS system and also make sure to pay close attention. Landmarks can come in handy when you think you might be going the wrong way.
