Given we're all stuck at home I decided to present the official "Michael's Guide to Watching TV Baked on the Couch" Hulu/Netflix edition. I tend to like absurd happy little shows. I don't like a lot of cynicism or tension.

In no particular order:


1) Comedy Bang Bang (Netflix) - My first "stoner" show. CBB is an absurd fake talk show (originally a podcast) that that's a riot, but never aggressively cynical. Seasons 2 & 3 are my favorites. CBB has a few callbacks, but you can skip around if there's certain guests that interest you the most.

2) Parks and Recreation (Netflix) - Skip the first season, but after that P&R is like a comforting bowl chicken soup. The show full of likable characters getting in to silly situations.

3) Rick and Morty (Hulu) - Yeah, the fan base sucks, but the show is legit hilariously great. RM goes in some mind bending places that weed really enhances. The show is cynical, but I think RM being a cartoon takes the edge off for me.

4) OG Twilight Zone (Netflix) - 1950's sci-fi is fascinating. The show has tons of, simple, yet great stories. Some of the stories have very outdated viewpoints, but that's one of the reasons why it's interesting. For example, one show had a guy tell a women to quit school and start a family, and he was presented as the voice of reason! Also, you can totally see all the Russia/Communism scare for many of the episodes. I also love how it's filmed during an experimental time for TV. Lots of weird/artful shooting angles, etc on sound stages that look amazing stoned.

5) WWE NXT (Hulu) - I'm embarrassed but I have to add it. NXT is WWE's minor league, which makes it way more fun and charming. I don't even watch the main WWE Smackdown and Raw shows. NXT is all I need.

6) The Eric Andre Show - Total craziness. Sometimes his talk show gets a little too mean spirited for my baked tastes, but when it's good it's a top tier weed show.

7) Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell (Hulu) - What if hell was run like an office?

8) Broad City (Hulu) - I love the girls and their hijenks. Seasons 1-3 are very strong.

9) Neon Joe - Season 1 only (Hulu) - NJ presents a world where there are werewolves and the greatest werewolf hunter speaks with an intentionally terrible cajun accent and only wears neon. So yeah, you know what you're getting yourself in to. Season 2 is just ok.

10) Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories (Hulu) - I totally understand if you hate Tim & Eric's main show, but hear me out. Bedtime stories have actual plots and it isn't always random nonsense. For reference, I HATE their main show enhanced or not. Not all the episodes are winners, but there are some legit bangers as well.

11) Toast of London (Netflix) - Stoned and looking for absurd British humor? Toast of London has you covered.

12) I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson (Netflix) - There's only been one season, but I think ITYSL is my favorite sketch comedy show of all time.

13) Schitt's Creek (Netflix) - Like Parks and Recreation, Schitt's Creek is a happy little show where likable characters with tons of chemistry get in hilarious situations. The first few episodes are uneven, but if you stick with it you'll be rewarded.


If you forced me to pick my top three stoner shows I'd go with "Comedy Bang Bang", "Rick and Morty", "I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson".

Legal marijuana would be ok right about now

i went 2 weeks ago and still have 1 and 3/4 joints and a chocolate bar that typically would last 2 weeks but i kinda wanna go in soon to stock up in case they have to close

place i go to had on their website they were only allowing 6 people inside at a time, was the first day they went to these steps. i took my lunch break to stop by (and get groceries) and it was fine, got some more joints and 1 more chocolate bar. had a cute budtender, should have asked her out, since you know, end times and all.

Made it through day one of self-quarantine without getting high during normal business hours. I am a paragon of steely discipline.

So I'm going to be trying edible gummies this weekend for the first time--any advice?

They are 10 mg so i really only plan on taking 3-5mg since it's my first dose. I'm not much of a smoker anymore, so with that said, what can i expect?

it's taken me my first 6 months in CO to figure out my edible dosage but i think i've finally found my groove and i suppose i'm also talking bang for buck...but since i've also smoked for quite a long time not sure how much tolerance difference there is between plant vs edible. i've found candies/gummies to be pretty weak, they are usually in the 2.5 to 5 mg range. for me, at 6'1 and 180lbs, 1 10mg chocolate bar piece (out of 10 in a bar) is pleasant, 2 pieces is a nice buzz and any more than that is just gonna intensify and intensify. I'm definitely more a fan of chocolate bar type than gummy/candy type of edible.

I would start with 10-20 mg. Be patient. It takes awhile before it really starts to kick in.

10-20mg...really?

I've read to start smaller than 10mg until you can find your tolerance.

i would think 10 for your first time would be fine, maybe a bit of "woohoo, got nothin else to do in this quarantine" but honestly would give a good baseline for you if you plan to take more. i forgot to mention, for me, it's always more of a pleasant body high...and when i was trying to find my sweet spot i would do combos of 2.5 and 5 candies and gummies and it just never felt like much. i mean, a little but kinda disappointing. plus, it can take around 45 mins or so to kick in so you might take a small amount, wait X amount of time, not sure if you are feeling, wait more or take a little more and then you wait more for that but maybe the 1st piece has started, so it can be difficult to determine...at least for me it was. then since feb i've been buying chocolate bars at 10mg a piece and starting at 10 is definitely a guarantee to be pleasant.
