NASA Wants You to Space Out. We Brought the Weed
November 12, 2026
If there’s one thing a few quick puffs of cannabis can do, it’s get us out of our headspace. Now, with a new video series from NASA, we can also employ weed to launch off to outer space.
The Space Out series pairs high-definition cosmic visuals with ambient music, which is a great combination for enjoying a pleasant trip here on Earth. NASA’s even in on the drug reference, interpolating the words of psychonaut Timothy Leary and advertising that viewers should “Turn on, tune in, and space out.”
We’ve done our science homework and paired each episode with a few offerings of our home planet’s most favored flower. Enjoy the trip!
Solaris
This episode is lit! In this video, solar flares, aka massive sudden explosions of electromagnetic energy on the surface of the Sun, create corneal rain that looks like towering glowing waterfalls of fire.
The word photo comes from the Greek word phōs, which means light. Because of that, it's a word that is paired with all kinds of Sun-related things. Cannabis employs photosynthesis, the process plants use to convert light into energy, and is a photoperiod plant, which means its growth is regulated by periods of dark and light. Weed bends toward the light (phototropism), and the surface of the Sun, the photosphere, is in constant motion.
Experienced heads among us can get crazy locked in on the detail of the 4.5 billion-year-old yellow dwarf star we call our own by ingesting Level’s sativa Protab with 250 mg of THC.
Martian Landscapes
Is it just us, or do the desolate landscapes of dust on the surface of Mars look like unpressed hash? Some of the rounded stones and rocks in this video depicting the landscape of the fourth planet from the Sun also resemble temple balls and, for that reason, we recommend turning into this one with a hash ball from Nasha.
Rather jarringly, NASA points out that Mars is the “only planet we know of inhabited entirely by robots,” and it's true. Right now, NASA has four active missions on the Red Planet, including a robotic rover investigating whether Mars has ever been habitable to small living organisms, aka microbial life. Mars is the frontier to show how plants, like cannabis, may be able to survive in harsh conditions.
Rings of Saturn
AI has made it so we can’t even confidently know that cute animal videos we see on Instagram are real, so it’s nice that this video is presented by NASA so we know it’s legit because the rings around Saturn look absolutely amazing. The ringlets around this ball of hydrogen and helium are made up of ice and rock.
Because this planet has no solid surface to track, scientists only recently discovered what time it is on Saturn. The planet rotates rapidly, and the length of a day on Saturn is 10 hours, 33 minutes, and 38 seconds. A year on Saturn is 29 years on Earth, so if we were toking in turn with Saturn’s rotation instead of our own 365 4:20 p.m.’s each year, we’d have more than 10,000 times to puff tough.
If we’re on Saturn time and smoking more often, we might as well replace the morning coffee with Durban Poison from UpNorth to get the day going and watch the Ringed Planet spin.
Moon Phases
The gravitational pull of our old friend, the moon, regulates all the bodies of water on Earth. Regenerative cannabis gardeners often use lunar calendars based on the idea that the gravitational pull and light cycles of the moon influence things like moisture in the soil and plant development.
Fortune Cookies grown by Full Moon Farms for the Humboldt Family Farms brand is a great example of outdoor cannabis that's grown with care for the environment. Unless we want Earth to look as desolate as the surface of the moon in this video, regenerative cannabis cultivation is the way forward.
Uranian Sunset
The beautiful tones of azure, turquoise, and deep blue of a sunset on Uranus replace the reddish, oranges, and pinks of the sunsets on Earth.

Hubble
These images from the Hubble Telescope show the birthplaces of stars. Stellar nurseries and brilliant gas clusters are really stunning things to look at while stoned. This is the shiniest video of the bunch and calls for something really special.

Landsat
This video depicts Earth from as high as you can get! Landsat satellites have circled the Earth since 1972, and a big part of their mission is agriculture and food security. It hasn’t been done yet, but we can dream of a day when these data points help to make sure we have enough weed for every adult on Earth.

After taking in the sights of the vast universe, remember famed astronomer Carl Sagan’s words about weed.
“The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world,” Sagan said.
