Although cannabis is the focus of 420, many people also use the hangover holiday to appreciate their favorite foods , films and music on a higher level.
Films can be especially enjoyable under the influence of marijuana, as anyone who has seen Avatar: The Way Of Water after eating edibles can attest.
Let me tell you, it was out of this world literally! is how Jeff Dillon of Smoakland , a cannabis delivery service in Oakland, California, described his experience watching the film. The 3D effects had me feeling like I was floating in space, and that water whoa baby, that water was like a psychedelic dream. Im pretty sure I saw a unicorn swimming around in there.
Allison Krongard, co-founder of Her Highness , which describes itself as a female-forward cannabis brand, explained how cannabis enhances the film-viewing experience.
Cannabis heightens our senses, visuals and sounds are more vivid, it [keeps] you in the present and can draw you deeper into the story, she told HuffPost by email. When Im high I notice art, architecture and costumes more readily. Movies especially in a good theater are richer when youre high.

Krongards own taste in stoner movies doesnt lean toward sci-fi or fantasy, though.
Its very difficult to pinpoint a single favorite movie to watch stoned because Ive been consuming weed for 30 years, but it could be Madonna: Truth or Dare or [the Pitch Perfect trilogy]. I want to hear music when Im high and laugh. I want visual stimulation, and dont want to see anyone die or act miserable, no sad endings, pets dying or difficult plot twists.
I dont know why people love watching Inception high. Ive watched it 3 times stoned and Im still lost in the dream or the reality.
Considering Rob Sims played in the NFL before helping to launch the cannabis company Primitiv , its probably no surprise his favorite stoner flick has a football theme.

Avatar is hard to beat but one of my favorites is Any Given Sunday, Sims told HuffPost by email. Being a former professional football player it hits home and Al Pacinos dialogues cant be beat.
Sims business partner, Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee and former wide receiver Calvin Johnson Jr., admits hes torn between two films.
Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder, Johnson told HuffPost by email. I couldnt just pick one. But Pineapple Express is a classic comedy as it goes on the wild story involving the government and black-market cannabis.
Stephen Walden, the co-founder and COO of Farming First , a central California-based cannabis cultivator, admits he loves The Big Lebowski especially if he can get interactive with the film.

The Dude abides. The Dude also likes to smoke doobies, Walden explained to HuffPost. Being able to smoke a joint alongside Jeff Bridges while watching the greatest movie of all time is unmatched.
