There are a couple of kinds of smoking rooms. One is that dingy cubicle outside some malls and airport terminals where cigarette smokers retreat to indulge their addiction out of sight of polite society. The other is a private space in the home where cannabis aficionados go to relax and sink into an epic buzz. In this post, the team at 710 Pipes are here to take a close look at the latter and provide some tips on how to make it the perfect room for indulging.

Elements of a Perfect Smoking Room

Now that weed is legal in so much of the country cannabis lovers no longer need to be furtive about their love of herb. They can proudly create the perfect smoking room inside their abode and not have to worry about the wrong person coming across it. To celebrate the emancipation of herb lovers here’s a list of what we consider to be the essential elements of the perfect smoking room.

A Sufficient Supply of Herb

We might as well cut straight to the chase and start with the most important element of your smoking room. As long as you have a sufficient supply of herb (and throw in some edibles while you’re at it) your room will be cooking even as you’re in the process of bringing it to life. It’s the one component of your smoking room you absolutely can’t do without so choose your herb wisely. And remember, if you end up buying your weed in bulk you’ll need to make sure you store it correctly.

As Much Comfortable Furniture as You Can Stuff Into the Room

Nobody wants to be uncomfortable when they’re copping a buzz if they can help it. In our opinion, the perfect smoking room should include as much plush, comfortable furniture as you can reasonably fit, leaving only enough space for people to move around without tripping over anything. Deep couches, oversized armchairs, and even loungers can all help set the stage for hours of easy relaxation.

We’re not big fans of bean bag chairs, but if you’re outfitting your room on a budget bean bags can be useful for filling in empty corners and offering an extra seat when more friends drop by. And don’t forget to pick up as many scatter cushions as possible to ramp up the comfy when the buzz settles over you. Add a few throws or soft blankets into the mix and you’ll create a layered, cozy atmosphere that invites people to sink in, relax, and stay awhile.

A Playlist Dionysus Would Be Proud Of

Typically you’re able to better appreciate music when you’re stoned. Aspects of songs that had never been apparent to you are suddenly revealed providing you with a richer musical experience and one that transcends time and space. In our opinion, you can’t lose with stoner classics like Pink Floyd and Bob Marley and albums like Dark Side of the Moon, Legend and Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. More contemporary choices may include Kid A by Radiohead and Madvillainy by Madvillain.

Perhaps surprisingly (or not surprisingly) there is some classical music that, when listened to with the proper buzz, will open your mind to new musical dimensions. We’d suggest The Piano Sonatas by Beethoven, String Quartet No. 12 in F major by Dvorak, Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and The Four Seasons by Vivaldi. For good luck, we’d throw in Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture (with church bells).

Plenty of Snacks

Unless you’re smoking oregano you’re going to get the munchies not long after your altered state takes hold. But if you have created the perfect smoking room it’s going to be stocked with plenty of different snacks so that you don’t have to scramble to have something delivered when the urge strikes. Your snack variety should cover the spectrum from salty to sweet to savory as well as some more involved items you can pop in the microwave. Of course, making sure you have the number of your favorite pizza joint on your smartphone is also a must.

Buds

The perfect smoking room should provide an oasis where you can retreat by yourself and feel completely relaxed and at home. But it also needs to accommodate your friends who, you can be sure, will want to share in the experience. Having your buds over for a heady glass hoedown will enable you to experience the room through their (bloodshot) eyes. If you’ve really nailed the design and tripped it out with the right elements your biggest problem will likely be getting those friends to go home at the end of the night.

Final Thoughts

Creating the perfect smoking room will ramp up your cannabis experience to insane heights. And don’t worry, you don’t have to shell out the entire cost at once. If you’re on a budget add one thing a month. This approach will also give you the ability to audition each component and will probably also provide you with unexpected inspiration about which direction to take the design and layout of the room. By using this type of incremental approach you may wind up with something very different from what you originally envisioned, but it will probably be something that is much more in tune with your tastes and interests.
