Ahead, the best movies to watch when you’re stoned out of your mind.
Real heads know about the original twisted dream thriller. And before you start with us, Inception lifted 90 percent of its plot from this film! The titular Paprika is a therapist who must save the world when a machine that allows therapists to enter the dreams of their patients is stolen. It’s already fairly trippy based on premise alone, so throw in some wild animation and THC, and you’ve got a party on your hands. (Vudu, Amazon Prime)
Director Gregg Araki struck comedic gold with Anna Faris, who plays a dysfunctional stoner actress trying to get through a busy day. Already fairly blazed, she further derails her plans by accidentally eating her roommate’s pot cupcakes and embarks on a rambling and funny as hell adventure through Los Angeles. (Tubi, Vudu)
