4/20 Celebration: Best TV Shows And Movies to Watch on Netflix While You’re Baked
Times are stressful right now and we’re all looking for different outlets to help us pass the time. Luckily 4/20 is here. Usually, during 4/20 you will catch me kicking back and watching a bunch of movies with a joint or two to accompany me.
In the spirit of 4/20 (and since everyone is stuck inside), I made a list of movies and Tv shows that are perfect for today . Some of these movies might not be considered “stoner” movies but I like to watch them when I partake in the Devil’s lettuce, so I figured I’d share them with you. Happy 4/20!
Check out the list below:

But when the pill escalates crime within the city to dangerous levels, a local cop (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) teams with a teenage dealer (Dominique Fishback) and a former soldier fueled by a secret vendetta (Jamie Foxx) to fight power with power and risk taking the pill in order to track down and stop the group responsible for creating it.

Based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Greg Rucka and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (LOVE & BASKETBALL, BEYOND THE LIGHTS), THE OLD GUARD is a gritty, grounded, action-packed story that shows living forever is harder than it looks.
