It’s just that kind of day. The kind where you wake up, doomscroll, and refuse to get out of bed. If that sounds like you, it might be because today is all about embracing exactly that. August 10 is National Lazy Day, a celebration dedicated to kicking back and doing a whole lot less. And honestly, we’re here for it.
To celebrate this momentous holiday, Empire Smokes wants to help you clear your schedule, put on a movie, and, of course, smoke some grass! Speaking of cannabis, you may have asked yourself, “What’s the difference between indica and sativa?” If you’re still not sure, we totally get it. They just don’t teach these important subjects in school! Don’t worry, we’re going to dive into the differences between the two and explain why indica is the way to go on National Lazy Day.
Why Indica?
To keep things short and simple: indica= 😴☺️🥱, sativa= ⚡️😵💫🏃🏼♀️. At Empire Smokes, we remember which is which by referring to indica as “in-da-couch.” When you smoke an indica strain out of a bong, take edibles, or sip on a THC drink, chances are you’ll end up glued to the couch. That’s why this strain is perfect for National Lazy Day.
A sativa or hybrid strain might have you randomly lock in and decide that you need to learn about everything that ever existed in one day. And honestly, that’s real. Today, however, is all about doing absolutely nothing. That’s where the magic of indica comes in. You don’t even have to think about being lazy; it just happens.
Now that you know what indica is all about, let’s jump in and discover some fun yet lazy ways to celebrate the holiday!
National Lazy Day: What to Do
Today is about heating up those leftovers and ignoring those cold spots in the middle. Today is all about 2:00 PM hitting and realizing you still haven’t brushed your teeth. Today is all about calling off work because you can! Since today is all about doing nothing, we’ll do all the heavy lifting for you. Don’t stress about coming up with ideas, because we’ve got them all for you right here!
Clear Your Schedule
In the words of the incredible Doechii, “Delete your call log and clear your agenda. You should just eat what's on your plate.” Your friends and family can wait! Don’t stress about emails, text messages, or anything that requires you to leave the house. All you need is your favorite Puffco attachment, your favorite snacks, and a nice, warm blanket.
Choose Easy Entertainment
Yes, watching movies, TV, or listening to music can already be a pretty lazy activity, but we’re here to take it to the next level. Rather than watching or listening to something new, watch some of your comfort movies or shows. Rewatch The Office for the gazillionth time! Listen to that album you still haven’t gotten tired of. New entertainment is always great, but familiarity will help you reach ultimate relaxation and leave room for some potential doomscrolling.
Munchies, Munchies, Munchies
Calories? What’s that? Diet? I don’t know her. Today is about eating goooood! Watching what you eat can wait for the rest of the week. Grab your food-inspired spoon pipe, your favorite snack, and spend that extra $20 on DoorDash to have it delivered right to your front door. Money comes and goes, but taking a day off only comes around once in a while.
Picture it: You’re watching your favorite comfort movie with your Puffco Pivot to your left, your bag of chips to your right, your Taco Bell in your lap, and your eyes half-open as you slowly nod your head after each bite. That’s what National Lazy Day is all about!

Today might be National Lazy Day, but that doesn’t mean that you have to reserve you time for a single day. I mean, this isn’t Christmas! At Empire Smokes, we believe it is vital to take some time to take care of yourself. Whether you're stoned or taking a break, active or bedrotting, make sure you don’t put too much on your plate (unless it’s Jack in the Box 😉).
