Marijuana Shows Make Good Television
It’s just a fact sometimes stoney TV makes good TV. Marijuana shows are on the rise and networks are cashing in on their green rush. Reality TV and docudramas are in abundance, and don’t get me wrong I love documentaries, but in my opinion, nothing beats a good comedy.
In an effort to honor a couple of our favorite marijuana shows on TV here is our list of must watch TV.
Marijuana Shows Worth Your Time
The Showtime series Weeds was ahead of its time. Airing from 2005 to 2012 starring Mary-Louise Parker and Kevin Nealon, Weeds was chronicled a newly widowed wife trying to make ends meet by getting into the Cannabis business.
Parker’s character Nancy Botwin learns her way through the trials and tribulations of black market Cannabis. With trips to Tijuana and handling her territory in Southern California, she learns the business the hard way in a sense.
Definitely, a must watch binge and bong show worth your time. Learn more about Weeds and how to watch the series.
A newcomer to our list is Disjointed. As an original Netflix production. Disjointed has a little more leeway than shows of the past (which I love.)
The star of the show is Ruth, played by Kathy Bates, a Cannabis activist and dispensary owner. In here efforts to educate, medicate and recreate hilarity ensues. Although in its first full season, Disjointed is soon to be classic Marijuana TV.
Surprising enough one of my favorite characters is the straight-laced Tai Kwon Do instrctor, Tai Kwon Doug. His encounters with the “Druggies” and “Stoners” and trying to live the straight life.
This is not groundbreaking television, and the characters are shallow, but I could care less since I laugh my ass off every time I binge watch the show. (Yes, I have seen series one more than twice.)

Where do we start about this one? Technically this is not a stoner or marijuana-based TV shoe, but it is. Growing up in the 80’s this comedy is based on my aunt’s and uncle’s generation that I was too young to be in the know.
Trials and tribulations of relationships, growing up, school and friendships are at the forefront of That 70’s Show. Where the stoniness comes in was typically when the crew was hanging out in the smoke-filled basement. The smoke circle was chronicled with brilliant (or not-so) observations, terrible (hilarious) jokes about one another and far out statements.
Admittedly, the show jumped the shark once Topher Grace’s character moved on to “college.” But even with that, this show is not to miss and will be a hit after your next session.
