If only getting bacon was this easy!

This past week, most of the southwest was hit with a nice winter storm, and many people in Las Vegas saw an unusual weather treat, snow!

Lets face it, almost nothing is better when you are stoned then to watch a funny movie. So in honor of the recent release of Pineapple Express, here is the Top 13 Stoner Movies of All Time!

Super High Me takes the concept from Super Size Me, where Morgan Spurlock eats nothing but McDonald's for 30 days straight, but replaces the burgers with pot. Comedian Doug Benson is well known for being an avid marijuana enthusiast, and in his latest film Super High Me he tackles this documentary head-on by first avoiding pot for 30 days, and then smoking 24/7 for 30 days. He continues to work his stand up gigs and goes through a battery of tests during the film to see how getting stoned impacts his life - he experiences minor weight gain and decreased lung capacity, but his intelligence scores and sperm count go up after the month of smoking.

9. Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Is there no stoner cooler than Jeff Spicoli, played to hilarious effect by Sean Penn? From the first moment we spy the pothead surfer, to his well-known movie quote: “All I need is some tasty waves, a cool buzz and I’m fine” – Fast Times gave us a taste of just how laid back a stoner can be. Bonus cool points for Spicoli’s exchanges with history teacher Mr. Hand, who is convinced all his students are smoking dope. Spicoli to Mr. Hand: “Hey bud, what’s your problem?”

8. Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle

A big shout out has to be given to both Harold and Kumar films – the original is the ultimate stoner munchy run gone awry. After getting stoned, pals Harold and Kumar go in search of the White Castle burger, which seems like a simple enough task. Hilarity ensues, including Neil Patrick Harris in all his Doogie Howser ecstasy glory and the boys score a giant bag of weed (the discovery sets off a montage of Kumar hanging out with the bag, having sex, getting married and working through marital problems with his new love). The second installment of Harold and Kumar finds the boys mistaken as terrorists when their bong looks like a bomb to passengers aboard a flight to Amsterdam.

7. Pineapple Express
Just released this week, Judd Apatow’s Pineapple Express is part stoner buddy comedy, part action flick, — but guaranteed to deliver laughs as it follows dealer and pothead in an unlikely adventure. Starring Seth Rogen as pot consumer Dale to James Franco’s pot dealer Saul, the two potheads end up on the run from a bad cop (Rosie Perez) and drug lord (Gary Cole) after Saul is witness to a murder. Seth Rogan naturally draws on his stoner experience and James Franco shows a funnier side over some of his serious roles. Pineapple Express is a new rare strain of weed that Saul explains is so special “it’s almost a shame to smoke it…it’s like killing a unicorn.”

6. How High
Silas P. Silas (Method Man) and Jamal King (Redman) smoke their friend. Well… sort of. When pal Ivory dies, Silas uses his ashes as fertilizer for growing marijuana. The pair smoke the pot – and in doing so, the ghost of Ivory is summoned, conveniently giving them the answers to their college entrance exam. They get by with a little help from a (dead) friend, landing acceptance to Harvard… but naturally, the magical weed is stolen and their luck runs out.

5. Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
If there’s one thing Kevin Smith carried through his many films, it’s the continuity of lazy stoners Jay and Silent Bob. The pair of slackers are featured in their own adventure in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, with the guys on a mission to get the money rightfully owed to them for the making of a “Bluntman and Chronic” movie – or shut it down completely. This is the farthest from standing in front of convenience stores the pair have traveled… and in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, it’s the potheads who save the day!

4. Cheech & Chong Up in Smoke
Cheech and Chong prove they are the godfathers of weed by taking their comedy routine to the big screen in their first full-length movie. With so many Cheech and Chong stoner flicks to choose from, we went with the original and probably the best of the series, Up in Smoke, if only for the prestigious honor of having the biggest joint in film history. For your viewing enjoyment, check out the video clip below, where Cheech declares “I can smoke anything” of his special blend made with Labrador (part marijuana, part dog feces ’cause his dog ate his stash man!)

3. Half Baked
If there’s anything that Jim Breuer is good at (and trust us, there’s not much water in his talent pool), it’s playing the half-baked halfwit. The comedic genius of Dave Chapelle gives the otherwise mediocre film a boost, plus appearances by Steven Wright, Tommy Chong, Janeane Garofalo, Willie Nelson, Tracy Morgan, Snoop Dogg, Jon Stewart, Stephen Baldwin and Bob Saget don’t hurt either. Thurgood (Chappelle) and his friends Brian (Breuer) and Scarface (Diaz) need to bail their friend Kenny (Harland Williams) out of jail but don’t have the cash, naturally. The slackers steal medical marijuana from the lab where Thurgood works and start their own business, called Mr. Nice Guy. A local drug dealer threatensto kill the guys for stealing business. Oh, and a pouch of Jerry Garcia’s ashes figures nicely into the plot too.

2. Dazed and Confused
It doesn’t get much better than this – following 70’s era high school kids on their last day of school. Dazed and Confused is more than getting high on the last day of school – there’s a lot of coming of age shit going on too that rounds this out to a great little movie. Among the circle of life (outgoing seniors hazing incoming freshman) and the look at all of your stereotypical highschool types (nerds, jocks, stoners, cheerleaders), you’ve got funny stuff like Ron Slater’s (Rory Cochrane) take on George and Martha Washington getting high: “Every day George would come home, she’d have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man. She was a hip hip hip lady.” Also notable is the pre-all-star cast here, including Ben Affleck, Adam Goldberg, Matthew Mcconaughey, Milla Jovovich, Joey Lauren Adams, and Parker Posey.

1. Grandmas Boy
Lest you think that Grandma’s Boy is the story of a mild-mannered guy who still idolizes his gramma, think again. Starring Allen Covert, who typically appears in pal Adam Sandler’s flicks, this Grandma’s Boy shows he can carry a stoner flick just by being the lovable loser. Passed over by critics and movie audiences, Grandma’s Boy stars Covert as Alex, a 35-year-old video game tester who loves to smoke pot with his roommate Josh. Only Josh spends all the rent money on hookers and the pair get tossed out of their place. Alex goes to live with grandma and her two friends (Doris Roberts, Shirley Jones and Shirley Knight). This is the perfect movie for any stoner, especially since its a lesser known movie there is a good chance you have not seen it yet.
