Watching movies while stoned can transform a simple viewing experience into a vivid, immersive journey.
The best picks often include visually stunning cinematography, mind-bending narratives, or hilarious comedies that can enhance your high. Here are 7 top picks from the Moonwlkr team.
- Pineapple Express (2008)
This isn’t just a movie; it’s a rite of passage. When Dale and Saul, the dynamic duo of stoners, find themselves on the run after witnessing a murder, what ensues is a hilarious, action-packed adventure. Seth Rogan and James Franco are hilarious; and Rogan is a massive stoner in real life, so he nailed the part.
P.S. Pairs well with our Pineapple Express edibles 🤤
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
If your high self loves absurdity, then buckle up for a medieval quest like no other. The Monty Python gang takes you on a journey filled with coconuts, killer rabbits, and knights who say “Ni!” The nonsensical humor and witty dialogue become infinitely more hilarious through the lens of a good high, making it a timeless classic for those under the influence.
