If you need some inspiration for the best movies to watch while high, look no further. Below we list our top 10 movies to watch stoned. Ranging from absurd comedies to deep, art-house thrillers, there’s something for everyone. We’ve tried to move away from the classic “stoner movies”, instead bringing you a list of exquisitely beautiful and funny films that can be enjoyed anytime, but are even better with a little smoke!

We've even paired up each flick with what we think the most suitable accompanying strain would be.


1. Big Fish

Big Fish is a fantastic watch if you’re stoned and after something compelling. Directed by Tim Burton (you already know it’s going to be a delight) and starring Ewan McGregor, it follows a son as he tries to piece together his father’s memoirs in an attempt to distinguish what is fact, and what is fiction. Delivered in a series of vignettes, this “Southern Gothic fantasy” is both artistically fascinating and comedically brilliant. Just make sure you’re not too blazed, as if you miss parts, you'll get lost!

Big Fish
Most Suitable Strain: Royal Jack Automatic
What smoke should accompany this? We recommend Royal Jack Automatic. This bud encourages creativity and sets the mind thinking—perfect when watching a film that is both interesting and beautiful. This cerebral quality is offset by an indica body stone, which means you won’t be too energetic to sit back and enjoy. For those who love herbal, spicy smokes, you’re in for a treat! The perfect warming smoke.

2. Little Miss Sunshine

This is a film that needs little introduction. Little Miss Sunshine is hilarious. A dysfunctional family sets off across the States in their battered old camper van to take the daughter to perform in the “Little Miss Sunshine” beauty pageant. As the trip grows ever more farcical and hopeless, we are thrown between fits of laughter, and then brought almost to tears by some brilliantly written and performed dialogue that gets to the heart of difficult family relationships. A perfect watch with a partner or a group of friends, this has got to be one of the best movies to watch when high!

Little Miss Sunshine
Most Suitable Strain:
Wedding Crasher

We recommend accompanying this film with Wedding Crasher. Physically relaxing and giggle inducing, it’s the perfect smoke to recline with. Strong, but not too strong, with 21% THC you’re going to be very stoned, but able to stay awake. While there is significant depth to the film, it can be enjoyed on various levels. So while you don’t want to be too stoned, there will still be something for you if you are!

3. Moonrise Kingdom

Heartfelt and a joy to behold, this is a great movie to watch high. For those familiar with Wes Anderson, you’ll be aware how surreal and beautiful his movies are. Well, Moonrise Kingdom is no different. Telling the story of two adolescent lovers who abscond to the country, it deals with feelings of nostalgia from childhood, and those feelings that are unique to that place between childhood and adolescence. With themes of young love, childhood sexuality, and juvenile mental health, it sounds heavy. However, it is delivered in such a careful way that it never feels like this, and as such can be enjoyed when pretty stoned.

Moonrise Kingdom
Most Suitable Strain: El Patron

We recommend El Patron to enjoy this masterpiece with. It will get you powerfully stoned, but not overwhelmed. Well-balanced, it combines a strong body stone with a degree of mental alertness, allowing your mind to indulge in Anderson’s characteristic use of colours and symmetry.

4. Nebraska

Nebraska is a more serious film than the others mentioned thus far, and as such should be enjoyed a little less stoned. Nonetheless, it is still up there as one of the best movies to watch high. Following Woody and his son David, it tells the story of an ageing father and his relationships with his family. The plot has them headed to Lincoln, Nebraska to collect the winnings from a sweepstakes that David knows is a scam. However, Woody is adamant. On the road trip, they pass through Woody’s childhood hometown, and it becomes a voyage of rediscovery and acceptance. Nominated for many awards, it is highly critically acclaimed and spectacularly written, shot, and performed. It is tastefully shot in black and white, which gives it a degree of gravity.

Nebraska
Most Suitable Strain: Stress Killer

Due to its more demanding nature, we suggest not being too stoned when watching Nebraska. As such, we recommend smoking Stress Killer alongside it. With only 11% THC, it’s fairly moderate, and gives you a clear, focused high. But as you watch the powerful performances unfold, you’ll be grateful that you’re able to give them the attention they deserve. For lovers of classic smokes, Stress Killer has reliable citrus flavours.

5. Coherence

This movie could, conversely, be considered incoherent. But it is all by design. A surreal sci-fi psychological thriller, there’s a lot to love and a lot to digest with this one. A great movie to watch when stoned, expect to be engaged and, at times, a little uncomfortable. Due to its nature, it’s probably best enjoyed with friends or a partner, as it might set your mind racing a little. Without giving much away, a comet passes very close by Earth, after which strange occurrences begin to take place. Eight friends are enjoying a dinner party when this takes place, and after a power outage, things begin to become strange. Why does that one house still have power? Who is leaving photographs from that night lying around? Who are the other people they can see?

Coherence
Most Suitable Strain: Triple G

We think that Triple G will suit this movie well. With 26% THC, it’s very strong, but with a clear-headed, euphoric high. This energised mental state will have you second-guessing and running down wild theories—exactly what the film intends. While you’ll want to pay attention to get the most from it, you can enjoy this film fairly stoned. And all this accompanied by notes of chocolate and diesel!

6. Birdman

Birdman is a magnificent film. Not only is it one of the best things to watch while high, it is simply one of the best things to watch. Following Riggan Thomson’s attempt to cling onto fame, it is a surreal descent into madness, alcoholism, and insignificance. But it is not depressing to watch. Shot with phenomenal care and beauty, it is a supreme work of art. And not only is it filmed well, but the writing is near perfect. For the literati among you, it contains a wealth of references. The plot follows rehearsals of a play based on Raymond Carver’s What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. And midway through, we get a wonderful rendition of Shakespeare’s “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow” soliloquy from Macbeth. This film is a rare treat, and must be watched.

Birdman
Most Suitable Strain: Honey Cream

Due to its strange and immersive nature, we suggest Honey Cream as an accompaniment to Birdman. The almost psychedelic properties of this bud make it the perfect smoke for a film that is so bizarre, and at times disconcerting. With 16% THC, it’s not too strong, though it could still have you pretty blazed if you’re not careful! It’s one for those with a sweet tooth, boasting flavours of candy, but underpinned by heavier, earthier notes.

7. Whiplash

Whiplash has something to offer everyone, but is one of the best stoned viewing experiences for lovers of music in particular. Following an ambitious young jazz drummer at the fictional Shaffer Academy in New York, it investigates the relationship between him and his strict, perfectionist, and abusive tutor. Featuring a lot of brilliantly performed music, it is a delight for the ears. However, it is primarily a psychological drama that deals with the lengths some will go to in order to achieve the things they want. It is very intense, rewarding, and not very funny. That being said, it is so well made that it is highly enjoyable. Just don’t go into it expecting something lighthearted. It is a serious drama that is likely to draw you in.

Whiplash
Most Suitable Strain: Hulkberry

We recommend HulkBerry to go alongside this experience. Pushing above and beyond 27% THC, it’s extremely strong. However, the effects are clear and uplifting, so you should be able to remain fully focused on the film. Strong, sharp flavours ranging from diesel to pepper make this a heavy smoke, and thus a suitable accompaniment to a heavy film.

8. Captain Fantastic

A light film with a simple yet powerful message, Captain Fantastic is highly enjoyable and thought-provoking. Following a disillusioned family who took to the wilderness rather than living in a capitalist world, it deals with their reluctant reintroduction into society. The children excel both intellectually and in terms of wilderness survival, however they lack the social skills that most children gain. So how do they cope in a busy, hyper-social world after growing up surrounded by the slow pace of nature and a wealth of abstract knowledge?

Captain Fantastic
Most Suitable Strain: Royal Runtz

Ultimately, it is a light comedy that is best enjoyed with friends. While the themes do go deep, the film doesn’t require any serious degree of concentration, and is therefore one of the best movies to watch stoned. We recommend Royal Runtz as a companion. Much like the film, it is euphoric and uplifting. It also has a THC level of 27%, so you can expect to get pretty blazed. For lovers of all things sweet, flavours of fruit and candy will not disappoint!

9. Get Out

This is a thoughtful psychological thriller with an epic ending sequence. Twisting and turning, this undulating film deals boldly with issues of race, while somehow managing to be surprisingly light. Well-acted, highly engaging, and entertaining to its core, this has got to be one of the best movies to watch while blazing. It’s probably best enjoyed as a couple, as it’s very intense and at times disturbing. It follows African-American Chris Washington as he and his white girlfriend go to visit her upper-middle class, conservative family for a summer party. But all is not as it seems, and soon things begin to get strange.

Get out
Most Suitable Strain: Diesel Automatic

Due to its intense nature, we recommend the soothing effects of Diesel Automatic to accompany Get Out. This clear-headed high will not send your thoughts spiralling into a hole of paranoia, but will elevate your consciousness enough to add something extra to the experience. With notes of fruit and diesel, this 14% THC smoke is a great, moderate strain to enjoy alongside the film.

10. The Gentlemen

If you like Guy Ritchie films, then you’ll love The Gentlemen. If you don’t, then perhaps you won’t. This film has twists and turns, and a particularly notable and hilarious performance from Hugh Grant. With the classic gangster tropes and some great action, there’s nothing revelatory here, but it is highly entertaining nonetheless. If guns, blackmail, plenty of cursing, and beefy A-listers are your thing, you’re likely to remain engaged. A great ensemble movie to watch with a group of mates.

The gentlemen
Most Suitable Strain: Royal Cookies

Royal Cookies will go well with The Gentlemen. Euphoric and physically relaxing, descend into the depths of your sofa and enjoy this action-packed romp around gangster-filled Britain. With 23% THC, it’s strong, and with earthy, fruity notes, it’s delicious. As the film draws to its conclusion, you’ll be left wondering about the journey your bud went on from grow to spliff.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
