Whether it makes you laugh, scares you, makes you rich or sends you into the shade, weed, from its consumption to its business, is a perfect breeding ground for scenarios.
Zeweed has reviewed a few stoner-movies: from Pineapple Express to Sauvages, while suggesting tracks on Spotify to listen to( while reading the article) and tips on weed to smoke in front of the film mentioned
-Pineapple Express (2008)
Seth extra
Written by Seth RogenSeth Rogen is an avid smoker (He recently launched his own brand of weed on the market ), “Délire Express” brings together James Franco, Danny Mac Bride , Craig Robinson and Bill Haderfor a very hysterical comedy, very barred and well-rolled.
The pitch: a ganja-loving geek and his dealer find themselves with cops and bad guys on their tail after Seth Rogen happens to witness a murder ordered by a customer of his dealer friend (James Franco). Of course, throughout the film, the two lascars are under the effect of an ultra-strong weed (which, for the record, would later give its name to a now-famous sativa/indica hybrid: the pineapple express).
The second production (after Knocked Up2007) of a series of properly disjointed feature films, by or with Seth Rogen (This is the end , Sausage party, Secret Party-The Night before )

Wild (2012)
Oliver’s Stone movie
Admittedly, the image of the stoner as portrayed in cinema isn’t exactly glamorous. The charisma of the couch-surfer in pyjamas, firecracker on the lips and zapper in hand is hard to match with the sculpted body of Malibu’s ephebes. It’s hardly surprising, then, that in this kind of vibe , appearances by both pretty women and good-looking guys are non-existent in ganja-movies. Or at best, they’re used against the grain. In “Sauvages”, Oliver Stone seriously dusts off the genre.
With Blake Lively (Gossip Girl), Taylor Kitsch (John Carter, Lone Survivor) Benicio del Toro and John Travolta in the cast, we’re putting the bathrobes in the closet and breaking out the chrome guns and oiled pecs. And instead of sitting on the sofa like a piece of shit in front of X-Files S07E18, we’re fucking sportsmen on it…
The pitch: Ben and Chon (Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Taylor-Johnson) have developed a super-strong weed (which happens in two out of three stoner movies). But they don’t want to sell it. So Benecio del Torro and his buddies, from a Mexican cartel, kidnap their girlfriend (Blake Lively). Friendly, the two dudes go and get her back. So much for the story. The form, on the other hand, is furiously reminiscent of ” Natural Born Killers ” . The calibrations and grains of film change at a pace fast enough to make a chameleon’s heart ache, while the editing is as fast-paced and hysterical as a Chihuahua on amphetamine. You emerge in the same torpid state as the heroes after a fat bong of their magic ganja, minus the high, plus the headache. The most raunchy and mainstream of the films in this selection, where only Blake Lively’s curves or, depending on your taste, Taylor Kitsch’s bulging, tanned muscles, , will be of any interest.
