The 90’s era is iconic for so many reasons and will be a forever vibe. 90’s music and fashion trends are in constant rotation even decades later, but 90’s movies hold a special place in a stoner’s heart. After the Cheech and Chong period in the 70’s and 80’s, the coined term “stoner movies” truly took off in the 90’s and on. Here is a list of the best 90’s stoner movies so you can really get into the mood of kicking back in true stoner style.

Half Baked

Often referred to now as a cult classic, Half Baked is one of those movies that get better with time. Although a complete failure in the movie theaters, this epic 90’s stoner movie co-written and co-starring Dave Chappelle is a favorite in the cannabis community over 20 years later. A light-hearted romantic comedy in New York City about four lifelong friends who are also heavy stoners, smoke some potent marijuana and end up getting into a situation involving a diabetic horse and becoming drug dealers to save their friend from jail time. Of course Dave Chappelle’s love interest is named Mary Jane and you’ll be giggling at other obvious references to ganja. Remember, this was set in the 90’s and cannabis was very much prohibited so any incognito reference to that good good is extra funny. Anything with Chappelle is hilarious and requires a joint to be smoked before watching, so roll up and get your movie munchies ready!

True Romance

This flick could be compared to Pretty Woman but the more unrefined version that involves a suitcase of cocaine. True Romance is a 1993 film featuring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, a call girl that was hired to sleep with Christian but instead falls in love with him and chaos ensues. Weed isn’t involved in this movie but since it is created by Quentin Tarantino it was a must to include. Every stoner loves a good action movie that is packed and filled with unrealistic scenarios that can be conveniently enjoyed from the comfort of one’s couch. This would be a great movie to eat an edible and just go straight into chill mode.

Clerks

Kevin Smith’s breakout film Clerks is an absolute legend in the independent filmmaking industry. Featuring Jay and Silent Bob later in the film, this movie is about two average dudes named Dante and Randal and the anything but ordinary day they had working at the convenient and movie store shops next door to each other. The two friends talk about life and the various difficult customers they come across, and eventually their personal lives are involved and of course it gets messy. Dante is in a love triangle the entire movie and the series of events that unfold will have you needing to be high in the first five minutes. Clerks is a movie that has been recognized as “historically, culturally and aesthetically significant” and was the reason Kevin Smith’s career launched. A popular movie choice over 25 years later, any Jay and Silent Bob movie is a stoner favorite and you must be as high as possible before watching!

Dazed and Confused

Quentin Tarantino once said that Dazed and Confused was one of the best films of all time and this coming of age story set in 1993 is one to pull at your nostalgia. Featuring a large cast of characters that eventually went on to be powerhouse celebrities (like Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey), Dazed and Confused is almost 30 years old and still a fan favorite. The movie is set in the early 90’s with a group of high school teenagers that are preparing for the incoming freshman and traditional hazing activities. The night involves a lot of hazing (which is totally not okay to do but in the spirit of celebrating the 90’s this was completely normal) and friendships/relationships are formed. This film is one of those movies that are nice to have in the background while you scroll through your phone aimlessly shopping for cool bongs online because you won’t miss much if you take your eyes off the screen for a minute or two. A nice movie to watch on a Sunday to give out those feel-good vibes, make yourself a nice brunch and top it off with a nice playlist including a bunch of throwback Aerosmith.

Homegrown

Another surprising box office flub, Homegrown is packed with celebrities like Billy Bob Thorton and Jamie Lee Curtis to really stick the 90’s feel-good vibes on you. This movie is about small-time marijuana harvesters getting way over their heads in the big leagues and chaos breaks out once the mafia becomes involved. Paired with a banging indie-rock playlist, this movie is another nostalgic choice that will have you wanting to bleach the tips of your hair and bust out all of your old flannels. Not to mention the appearance of the mullet hairdo - business in the front and party in the back is definitely a whole stoner vibe.

It was a special time to be alive in the 90’s, but letting these films become seasoned over time and revisiting is a must-have experience for anyone that wants to truly grasp the feels of the iconic 90’s. There is no better way to kick it back a couple decades than by lighting up a few joints or taking a couple of bong rips to get you into chill mode. Enjoy this list of the best 90’s stoner movies and to kick it up a notch by playing a little game: remember to take a hit every time you recognize a celebrity you know!

Remembering NFL in the 90's

By Jordan N
NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too. Like when Dan Marino won the title of the best all-time passing leader. Or when Jerry Rice

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

By Tanya
The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They

Lip Smacker's New Christmas Collection Brings Back Your 90s Favorites. All Of Them.

By Tanya
If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have

Die Hard's Reginald VelJohnson Reveals How Al Powell Got Him Cast On Family Matters

By Tanya
Watching Die Hard is like watching a little piece of history. It truly has remained one of the greatest movies of all time no matter how much time passes. Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person. Everyone obviously thinks of Bruce Willis when they think about Die Hard, which makes sense because he embodies John McClane in a way that makes him feel real, but he's not the only iconic

Trailer For New Nickelodeon Documentary Has Your 90s Favorites Spilling All The Secrets

By Tanya
Nickelodeon wasn't just a television network, it was basically a generation. Kids all over the country were bonded in this weird little family, obsessing over shows that our parents just couldn't possibly understand. They were for us. They weren't made to appeal to our parents, they were made for our enjoyment and so we felt a special connection to them unlike any other shows. Nickelodeon is still going strong today, but it's hard to remember that there was a time before the iconic kids network came around. The company may be a juggernaut now, but how did it get started?

Reptar Bars Are Back And They Are The "Superist" And The "Duperist" Versions Yet

By Tanya
Everyone remembers watching Rugrats as a kid, right? It was only the best kids' show ever. Those "dumb babies" as Angelica Pickles would say were a lot more clever than they let on, and in their many adventures they inspired us kids to believe that we could do anything. I mean, we don't have to question how or why a baby keeps a screwdriver in his diaper, because the logistics of where he got it or how he keeps it in there without hurting himself is beyond me, but that's not what matters here. What does matter is that these
