Lighting a joint in front of a movie is always a pleasant moment. Half the time, the movie itself isn’t the most important! However, there are films that know how to strike the right tone, and which are real gems for someone seeking the best stoner movie.
Smoking while watching movies is a popular pastime for many smokers. While comedies are naturally appealing, any movie can be satisfying if you’re stoned enough. Sad, mystical or questioning films of the meaning of life. Funny films, causing bursts of laughter, or heartwarming films, making us happy to be alive and human. The best films have all of these qualities, but they also share a connection to cannabis. You don’t have to be high to enjoy them, they are basically excellent, but they are even funnier after a joint or a bowl!
