For this movie, consider serving some classic munchies like popcorn, pretzels, and nachos with a side of cannabis-infused cheese sauce to elevate the experience.

Pineapple Express

2. “Pineapple Express” (2008)

Get ready for a wild ride with “Pineapple Express.” This action-packed comedy takes you on an adrenaline-fueled adventure with Dale and Saul, an unlikely duo caught up in a dangerous predicament after witnessing a murder. Throughout their escapades, expect side-splitting humor, high-energy action scenes, and, of course, some potent strains of cannabis. To match the movie’s title, create a tropical-inspired menu with pineapple slices and mango, coconut shrimp, and refreshing cannabis-infused fruit smoothies.

Half Baked | Universal Studios

3. “Half Baked” (1998)

   

Prepare to have your sweet tooth satisfied with “Half Baked.” This stoner comedy follows the hilarious misadventures of four friends who venture into the world of cannabis-infused baking. Witness their attempts to raise bail money for their incarcerated friend by selling a line of pot-infused treats. For this movie night, indulge in infused brownies, cookies, and gooey caramel popcorn to get fully baked.

4. “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle” (2004)

Craving some late-night munchies? Join Harold and Kumar on their epic journey to satisfy their hankering for White Castle burgers. Along the way, these two buddies encounter absurd and outrageous situations, all while indulging in their fair share of cannabis. For this hilarious road trip film, create a menu with mini sliders, loaded fries, and cannabis-infused milkshakes to elevate the fast-food experience. This is a great opportunity to check out the new French-Hi sauce from Good & Hi.

The Big Lebowski

5. “The Big Lebowski” (1998)

Get ready to abide with “The Dude” in “The Big Lebowski.” Jeff Bridges delivers an iconic performance as the laid-back, White Russian-sipping, cannabis-loving character known as “The Dude.” This quirky film follows “The Dude” as he becomes entangled in a case of mistaken identity and finds himself in some bizarre predicaments. To complement the movie’s relaxed vibe, serve White Russians (with or without cannabis-infused cream) and a spread of cannabis-infused snacks like chips, cheese and crackers, stuffed mushrooms, and chocolate-covered strawberries.
