Weed lovers in D.C. find themselves wading through a pool of over-accomplished and pompous d-bags. So chill, brah, and partake in many of the fine red-eye friendly eating establishments and thought-provoking outdoor activities. It's hard to brave the tourist haunts and general public when you're sober, so numb the pain a little and blow your mind at some of D.C.'s more stimulating attractions. (photo)
Manny and Olga's
1841 14th Street, NW Washington, DC 20009
One time, a pizza was delivered to my dorm at American University. It had a cigarette butt baked into the cheese. We called and got a new, free pizza delivered ... and ate it. What person in the right mind would… ingest food from a place that seasons its menu options with nicotine instead of salt? Well, someone who's high. Since options are limited at 4 a.m., and Manny and Olga's is open late, stoners have few options in the wee hours. And really, there's no other excuse for swallowing it. [link]

Albert Einstein Planetarium
Independence Ave SW & 6th St SW Washington, DC 20024
You're in the dark and don't have to talk to anybody, which is a plus. Then, the magic happens. From the website: "For the first time, you'll feel the sensation of zooming through the cosmos, enveloped in color-saturated… moving images and spine-tingling sound." So this is flying high times two. Just don't get enveloped by a black hole. Treat yourself to astronaut ice cream for dessert. (epsilon289/flickr) [link]

Hains Point
1090 Ohio Dr. SW, Washington, DC 20001
You can do many doob-fiend-friendly activities at this little nook in the Tidal Basin. Have a sloppy make out session. Watch the planes take off from National Airport. Revert to childhood at the playground. Rate… the horrifying outfits worn by tourists. Pee behind a tree. Ah, nature. (Andy961/flickr) [link]

National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden
7th Street and Constitution Avenue NW Washington, DC 20004
Whoa, wouldn't it be cool to like, live in that house? There's nothing more creepy or surreal than the sculpture garden when you're NOT stoned, so it seems like the perfect place to go when you want to transport… yourself to a world of metal spiders and pensive bunny rabbits. Maybe you'll see the light and have a revelation. Or just freak yourself the fuck out. (maiac/flickr) [link]

Amsterdam Falafel
2425 18th Street NW Washington, DC 20009
"I mean, come on people! The name!" my hash-happy friend told me. Pay homage to the country that still allows you to rock the ganja in public by eating here to curb your munchie attack. You can't beat the fries,… and dipping them in the sweet, sweet yellowy mayonnaise is encouraged. When you're high, you won't mind how messy it is to eat this fork-less meal, and you'll be less worried about who's watching you load up your pita with a grotesque mixture of toppings. [link]

Arlington Cinema 'N Drafthouse
2903 Columbia Pike, Arlington VA 22204
Sometimes, marijuana just leads to more cravings. Stimulation, the ability to smoke cigarettes inside and beer are all available at the Arlington Cinema 'N Drafthouse. The bar shows movies and have comedy shows… and live music for very cheap prices. Movies, beer, food and fun? Yes please. [link]

What about the Albert Einstein Memorial:

5th. St. and E St., NW. Definitely seemed to attract the stoner crowd when I was in DC, not that many years ago.
Becca, I'm kind of disappointed you didn't include "Behind the AU Chemistry Building."
The stairs by Lanier and Quarry Roads always smell of reefer.
Tastee Diner in Bethesda is always good for a few laughs at 3AM.
I had no idea Manny & Olga's had such a rampant cigarette butt problem. Come to think of it, that exact same thing happened to me too!
