Top 7 Documentaries to Watch While High

We currently live in an era of information overload. Whether it's your favorite podcast to listen to on your commute or the tweets getting sent to your phone at high speed, we are getting inundated with information about every single miniscule thing you can imagine. One way to deliver information to the mass public in an enticing way is through documentaries, and the more controversial the topic, the better. When you want to learn something new but also mellow out at the same time, bringing in your favorite herb, weed, is always a recipe for a fun night ahead. We've made a list of the best movies to watch high, but now sit back and relax with the best documentaries to watch when stoned. 

Tips for Having the Best Stoner Documentary Night 

1. Set the Scene: You want to have the stoner viewing party in the comfiest, coziest space that you can find between you and your friends. Make sure there is enough room for everyone to lay down and get comfortable, with blankets and pillows on deck.
2. Get the Snacks Ready: No sort of movie night or viewing party is really prepared without the proper munchies to go with it. Get a consensus from all of your friends on what you'll need - we suggest an array of things to satisfy both the salty and sweet cravings. If you're feeling fancy create your own charcuterie board and stock up on your favorite cannabis-infused drink brands. 
3. Choose the Right Strain: The age-old question circulates around indica vs. sativa, and which one is better? Having both on deck is never a bad idea, but make sure the mood and setting is right for whatever you so choose. Having the right strain is paramount, but make sure the accessories are ready, too. This means have your rolling papers, bong or bowl at the ready.
