As a pothead, nights spent on the couch call for one thing, and one thing only flicks and snacks. Let’s face it, though; anything counts as a stoner film if you’re baked enough. That’s why there’s this list of the best weed movies worth watching.
This one is for the tokers out there planning a cannabis-inspired picture festival. Settle in with quality pot from your hybrid marijuana seeds, and get ready.
The following list has a mix of all the classics, perfect for munchies, motion pictures, and ganja. Below, you’ll discover the top ten greatest mary-jane inspired movies of all time.
Time for a Stoner Movie Night
Movie nights is one activity that reminds us of when we were kids. Consume copious amounts of popcorn, fizzy drinks, and a whole bunch of candy while watching your favorite flick. Now that you’re all grown up, you get to add a little herb to the scenario.
The one thing that usually complicates a perfect picture night is deciding what to watch. Not any film will do; an evening like this requires some wholesome laughs that only movies about getting high can provide.
Stoner pictures came out in the late 1970s with the famous Cheech & Chong film franchise. This masterpiece paved the way for the future ganja-inspired comedy movies enjoyed today.
There are many great flicks to choose from, but there had to be a starting point. Without further ado, grab your best cannabis essentials and get set for the greatest marijuana movies all dopers should have on their watch list.
