There’s nothing quite like summer in Montana. Crisp mornings by the lake, mountain sunsets that go on forever, and nights around the campfire with your favorite people (or maybe just your favorite dog). And for many folks, the perfect companion to all that fresh air is a little cannabis.
At Stink Blossom, we’re big fans of pairing flower with the great outdoors—but we also know it takes a bit of planning to do it right. So whether you’re heading off for a weekend under the stars or just setting up a tent in the backyard, here’s your guide to the best cannabis for outdoors, plus some tried-and-true Montana cannabis camping tips to keep things fun and safe.
The Best Strains for Outdoor Adventures
The right strain can elevate your whole camping experience—literally. Here are a few of our favorite picks to match the mood of the wilderness.
For daytime hikes & exploring:
- Crescendo – Energetic, focused, and great for when you’re trekking through Montana trails or checking out local wildlife.
- Lemon Lovestone – Bright, citrusy, and perfect for daytime adventuring. Keeps you moving and engaged with the scenery.
For lakeside chilling & hammock time:
- French Macaroon – A balanced hybrid that’s uplifting yet mellow, ideal for reading by the water or tossing a line in.
- Pineapple Express – Slightly euphoric with tropical vibes—pairs well with sunshine and skipping rocks.
For fireside stargazing:
- Purple Punch – A classic indica that helps you settle in under the Milky Way and just enjoy the stillness.
- Kept Secret – Another go-to for winding down, with a gentle body high that complements a cozy sleeping bag.
If you’re not sure which strains to pack, stop by our dispensary in Billings MT before your trip and let our budtenders help you build the perfect adventure kit.
Smart & Easy Ways to Bring Cannabis Camping
Pre-rolls:
The simplest choice. Easy to pack, no gear required, and super shareable around the campfire (just make sure you’re on private property and following local laws).
Edibles:
Low-dose gummies or chocolates are discreet, durable, and won’t stink up your backpack. They’re also a nice option for winding down after a long day on the trail.
Vapes:
Portable and smell way less than flower. Just keep them in a safe, cool spot out of direct sunlight.
CBD creams & topicals:
Camping usually means sore shoulders or a stiff back from sleeping on the ground. A CBD salve is a clutch addition to your kit—no high, just muscle relief.
Quick Checklist for a Responsible Cannabis Camp Trip
- Know where it’s legal. Public cannabis consumption is not permitted in Montana. Enjoy on private property or in designated areas where it’s allowed.
- Pack out everything you pack in. That includes joint tips, packaging, and anything else. Keep Montana beautiful.
- Stay hydrated and snack smart. Cannabis plus sun plus physical activity can sneak up on you. Water is your best friend.
- Label infused snacks. If you’re sharing a cooler with others, make sure any edibles are clearly marked.
- Never drive under the influence. That includes on the way to the trailhead, heading into town for more ice, or after the trip home. Always plan for a sober driver.
