So if you’re ready to experience this historic, culturally diverse, and artisan-infused locale, here are some of our favorite places to explore, eat, and, of course, smoke weed.

The Skinny on Cannabis Rules in the East Bay

Before you grab your vape and begin frollicking through the streets in Oakland and beyond, make sure you know what’s legal when it comes to cannabis consumption in the area. For one, only consume it in your home or private space—you could get in trouble if you smoke when out in public.

Also, never drive under the influence. Instead, utilize public transportation like BART or any of the ridesharing apps, as well as your own two feet.

5 Epic Things To Do in the East Bay While High

In addition to a plethora of delicious restaurants, there are some stunning indoor and outdoor spaces great for exploring while stoned in the East Bay. So after you’ve found the perfect place to smoke, put on your shoes and get trekking!

1. Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland

With sweeping views of San Francisco Bay and stunning gardens, this gorgeous cemetery is perfect for taking in stunning sites. That’s why you often see people doing photo shoots here or having picnics. They even hold festivals on the grounds at various times of the year.

Goth types are especially known to haunt these grounds, thanks to the incredible variety of headstones and mausoleums. Its a goth's TikTok dream.

Upon heading out, pop a Camino Pineapple Habanero Gummy. This will give you the perfect daytime boost to start your adventure.

Homeroom also offers a delicious selection of desserts, like peanut butter pie and a literal giant Oreo cookie. If you want beverages, they have those in both boozy and non-alcoholic options.

Before noshing, smoke some OG Kush Mints flower from American Weed, which is sure to stimulate your appetite.
