There is something indescribable in watching a TV show when high. Colors seem more vivid, jokes are hilarious, and the whole process is far more enjoyable and insightful than one may think. To get the best out of binge-watching when stoned, you need to choose the shows that fit your mood. This article contains some obvious and unconventional recommendations so everyone can select a show to their taste.
Friends
Even if you know every Friends episode and can quote all the main characters, you’ll find this show hilarious when you are high. Don’t worry if you miss the intricacies of the plot – the jokes will compensate for that! The apartment with its bright colors will become your favorite part, while the audience laughing in the background will create an illusion of being surrounded by real friends. Friends goes well with less potent marijuana strains such as Dosilato, which allow you to get a grasp of the conversations.
The Office
The Office jokes may seem crazy and absurd, but you can look at them from a different angle when you are high and discover the nuances of meaning that you previously missed. You can turn on your favorite, craziest episodes, such as the one with the fire in the building, and have a nice laugh. The Office fans know that Michael Scott sometimes looks like someone that has abused drugs for a while. He is unpredictable and often lacks common sense, but isn’t it what we look for when we are high?
Mr. Bean
This British TV show uses the approaches of old-fashioned silent films and physical comedy, so it’s simple, playful, and easy to follow. There are no complicated dialogues, so you don’t have to worry about the meaning. All you need to do is to watch the childlike but resourceful Mr. Bean trying to solve various practical problems (e.g., painting the apartment walls). Even if you find British humor hard to understand, marijuana may change your perceptions.
Planet Earth I and Planet Earth II
This famous David Attenborough show about nature is one of the world’s most spectacular and unforgettable shows. You will enjoy bright colors and get close to the rarest and most mind-blowing living creatures on earth. Spectacular scenes will leave you in a state of complete amazement. We promise you won’t be able to get your eyes off the screen! You don’t even need to listen to the narration, so you can focus on the visuals.
Rick & Morty
This cartoon is a go-to option for marijuana lovers, which usually appears in every list of shows for stoners. It is not surprising, given its trippy visuals and a good balance between comedy and philosophy. The show will fit your mood if you are searching for a good laugh but will also be enjoyable if you want to reflect on life in general.
Black Mirror
If you are looking for something more contemplative, watch Black Mirror. The dystopian science fiction will completely blow your mind when you are high. It will invite you to think about the technology surrounding you differently. Since it’s an anthology, you don’t have to follow the storyline. Fans of the show claim that marijuana helps get the main idea of the show better and immerse completely into the dark reality of the technology-governed future.
Top Chef
Watching TV shows about food when you are high is an indescribable pleasure. Mouthwatering products, unusual combinations, cooking tricks, and personal dramas and challenges – one can hardly imagine a better match for marijuana. However, be prepared for the show in advance and bring some snacks because it will be impossible to resist the temptation to eat.
MTV Unplugged
Prefer listening to music when you are high? Try MTV Unplugged, which showcases popular artists playing acoustic instruments. Although the show is pretty old, you can find some forgotten jewels there, such as the famous Nirvana show recorded in 1994.
American Horror Story
If you are not scared easily, you can watch horror TV shows like the Disney+ hit American Horror Story. Marijuana increases the sensory impact of horror and boosts the effect of suspense and scary music, making the experience more intense. Weed will also make you more susceptible to the peculiar mix of thriller, tragedy, and grotesque that characterizes the show. As a result, you may get unexpected insights that usually slip the minds of regular viewers.
Final Remarks
Marijuana changes your perception significantly and unpredictably, so it is difficult to know for sure how you will react to the selected show. Try to watch different types of shows to understand what genres go best with weed. If you suddenly experience very uncomfortable emotions (e.g., extreme fear, panic), switch off the show or turn on something more enjoyable. You can also improve your experience by inviting over some friends and discussing your thoughts and emotions with them.
