Sometimes you just want to get stoned and rot on your couch as you stream an hours-long marathon of your favorite TV series. But at other times, when that weed really hits, it calls for a more stimulating activity to maximize the high.

From trippy museums to expansive recreational spots and immersive visual activations, Miami could rightfully be considered a stoner's playground. Watching a laser light show at the planetarium or hitting up Hobie Island while stoned are Miami rites of passage, while newer attractions like Superblue and Rooftop Cinema Club have also entered the pothead pantheon. Here, in alphabetical order, are Miami venues New Times has deemed worthy of visiting while stoned.

Editor's note: While New Times is recommending these places, recreational marijuana remains illegal in Florida, and sparking up in public is frowned upon. It's best to be discreet or consume before you visit these locations.

Hobie Island Beach Park

Rickenbacker Causeway, Miami

Generally, in Miami, everyone's favorite spot to enjoy a joint or head over once the edibles hit is the beach. The mixture of the ocean sounds, a bit of sunlight, and speakers blasting tunes makes for a good time. But avoid the chaos of South Beach or the family-friendly spots like Crandon Park and opt for the low-key Hobie Island Beach Park (AKA Windsurfer Beach). It's the first beach you'll come upon once you're on the Rickenbacker Causeway, and the sunset views and vibes are immaculate. It's cozy and calm, which makes it no surprise that it's a local favorite. There's also an assortment of food trucks that like to park themselves nearby in case you start getting hungry.

Julia & Henry's

200 E. Flagler St., Miami

Once those munchies start kicking in, there is no better place to show up than Julia & Henry's, the food hall in downtown Miami. With more than 25 eateries spread across three floors, it's the go-to spot for any craving. The food variety includes burgers, ramen, arepas, French crepes, and ice cream. There are also craft beer, wine, and spritz bars if you want a real adventure.

Sometimes, you just want to take it easy and take a stoned stroll through the park. Maurice A. Ferré Park offers that and more. It's a gorgeous, breezy space with magnificent city views on one side and Biscayne Bay on the other. There are also the sculptures, including the Dogs and Cats Walkway Sculpture Gardens, which aren't terribly exciting or interesting — but that's what the weed is for.
