I still remember a weekend when I just wanted to get away completely. No phone, no stress, no emails. Just me, a few friends, a handful of CBD flowers and a plan: two days of switching off. Maybe you know that feeling too – the week is crammed with appointments, in the evening you’re just tired, and even free time sometimes feels like another item on the to-do list.
That’s exactly where CBD comes in. In Switzerland, more and more people are turning to CBD products at the weekend to create little feel-good moments. Not because it’s a miracle cure, but simply because it can be a natural support to calm down. Whether in the park, at a cozy game night or in the yoga studio – CBD can be integrated into many activities. And the cool thing is: it doesn’t feel like “renunciation” or “therapy”, but like enjoyment 🌱
So if you feel like giving your next weekend a relaxed twist, here are five ideas I’ve tried myself – and that bring a little holiday feeling into everyday life every time.
CBD and relaxation: why the weekend is ideal
During the week we’re often in tunnel mode – work, family, obligations. But the weekend is the time when we can consciously try out new routines. CBD is perfect for this because you can take more time for rituals.
A colleague recently told me that he had his first CBD experience on a Sunday: a joint with a mild indoor strain, sitting by the lake. He said it was the first time in months that he could just sit quietly and listen to the wind. No pressure, no need to “function”.
That’s exactly why CBD makes sense at the weekend – you can allow yourself to sink into it without immediately having to think about the next day.
Activity 1: CBD & Yoga – more calm on the mat
A classic that works for me every time: a few puffs of CBD before a yoga class. That doesn’t mean you suddenly get more flexible – but it helps to switch off your head and really focus on breathing.
I was recently at a small studio in Zurich where the teacher uses CBD herself. She said that many of her participants enjoy a CBD tea beforehand or smoke a small amount of flowers to make the transition from “everyday life” to “flow” easier. And I can confirm that: it feels like you slip into that meditative state more quickly.
If you’ve never combined yoga with CBD, try it on a Saturday morning. Open the window, roll out your mat, light up a gentle CBD strain – and suddenly your apartment feels like a little retreat.
Activity 2: Soak up nature with CBD
Do you know the feeling when you come home from a hike and everything somehow feels lighter? CBD can amplify that feeling. A friend of mine swears by taking a small CBD break on every hike – a joint with flowers at the forest edge, a thermos of CBD tea in the backpack.
I tested it myself: Sunday morning in the Zurich Oberland, light fog over the fields, a CBD hash joint. Everything felt more intense – the colors, the sounds, even the silence. Not “high”, but a sense of deep calm.
Especially in Switzerland it’s unbeatable: mountains, lakes, forests – and a legal CBD product to go with it.
Activity 3: Wellness moments at home
Not everyone feels like going outdoors. Sometimes your own apartment is enough for a complete wellness program. I did this on a rainy weekend: run the bath, drop in a CBD bath bomb, then get a massage with CBD cream. It was almost as good as a spa visit – only without appointments and travel stress.
Many underestimate how powerful rituals are. A CBD bath in the evening, some candles, maybe a podcast – it can completely reset you. For people who spend a lot of time in front of screens, this is gold.
Activity 4: CBD in a social setting
CBD isn’t just for loners. I recently had a game night with friends – instead of beer and chips we had CBD tea and hemp snacks. Sounds unusual, but it was a total success. We were relaxed, we laughed, and nobody had a headache the next day.
Especially for those wanting to cut down on alcohol, CBD is a cool alternative. A friend told me he even feels more sociable because he isn’t “foggy” but simply calm and open.
And if you want to keep it budget-friendly: a few CBD flowers, a kettle, some cards or a board game – that’s your evening sorted.
Activity 5: Winding down & finding sleep
The weekend is the perfect time to get your sleep rhythm back on track. CBD can be a little helper here. I personally like to enjoy a mild CBD tea or smoke a flower with a high CBD content in the evening. Then a book, no phone – and my body signals: time to switch off.
Many people report that CBD especially helps with the transition into rest. Not a miracle, but a small switch in the head: day off, night on.
Practical tips for your CBD weekend
Start small: first test how you react to different products.
Mix & match: flowers for outdoors, cosmetics for wellness, tea for the evening.
Mind the law: in Switzerland, products with <1% THC are allowed – in Germany and Austria the limit is 0.2%.
Which CBD products are best for a chill weekend?
Flowers are versatile, hash is exciting for connoisseurs, cosmetics are more for wellness fans. Tea is good for anyone who wants to avoid smoking.
How much does a relaxing weekend with CBD cost?
Depending on your preferences: one gram of flowers (CHF 8–12) is often enough for several sessions, CBD teas start from CHF 15 per pack, cosmetic products from CHF 20. Altogether, you can create a full weekend with as little as CHF 30–50.
Conclusion: Your personal reset with Green Passion
A CBD weekend doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Whether yoga, nature, wellness or a game night – with a few small rituals you can get the kind of relaxation that usually only holidays bring.
I’ve learned that it’s not about the big trip, but the moments in between: a cup of tea, a breath in the forest, a laugh with friends. CBD can make a difference exactly there – subtle, but noticeable.
