How to Tell if the Movie You are Watching is a Stoner Movie
learn when to detect if your watching a stoner movie
Cannabis consumption is a funny thing when it comes to the movies. There is no other drug which is more commonly depicted in film, be it the consumption of cannabis, the buying and selling of cannabis and cannabis seeds or the mention of its effects both on the body and on society. There are of course a ton of stoner movies out there ranging from throwaway comedies like How High and Friday to masterpieces like The Big Lebowski. But there is something of a flavour which emerges no matter what actual genre of film you are watching if marijuana appears in some shape or form. Here's how to spot if you're watching a stoner movie: </br></br> Stoned Characters </br></br> Some sections of society may view cannabis as the great devil walking among us while others may just see it as a bit of fun to be had when no one is looking. But in so many films cannabis pops up in one of these tracks and gives you an impression of the character immediately. Knowing that a character has imbibed cannabis changes the way you imagine their perceptions to be and often hints to you that (in a serious film) they are destined for calamity. Basically any hint of cannabis in film almost automatically makes it a stoner movie as you see the characters in a new light. </br></br> Comedy </br></br> It seems cannabis pops up in a great many comedies at the moment e.g. The Hangover, Knocked Up but how do you know if your comedy is a stoner movie. The classic stoner comedy involves cannabis at the heart of the plot. Either the hunt for cannabis or the effects of a night smoking cannabis or even someone trying to escape the police due to a cannabis related crime, doesn't really matter what, as long as cannabis is at the centre. </br></br> Non-Comedy </br></br> Outside of comedy cannabis takes on a new feel. Aside from films like 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' (where cannabis is at the centre of a robbery but not directly shown to be evil), cannabis is often portrayed in a more serious light. This is of course congruous with the real life criminal consequences of growing and selling marijuana (the buying and selling of marijuana seeds is actually legal in case you wondered) so is probably a more honest portrayal of cannabis. You might consider it like this. A stoner film shows cannabis in a good light, whereas a film about cannabis use in a bad light (or honest) is not a stoner film.
