Disjointed

Disjointed is a humorous take on the thrills, chills, ups and downs of running a marijuana dispensary in Los Angeles. Starring Academy Award winner Kathy Bates, you’ll be doubled over laughing at the struggles of an up-and-coming dispensary trying to navigate the new world of legal marijuana in a place where weed is still federally illegal. This show has something for everyone and will leave you nostalgic for the simplicity of 90s sitcoms.

Grass Is Greener

If you’re longing for something more historical, Grass is Greener is definitely what you’re looking for. It’s a documentary that explains the in-depth history of cannabis prohibition in the United States and how the prohibition of marijuana has affected various groups of people, particularly minority communities, as well as the growth of the prison industrial complex. Other than that, you’ll also be educated on the cultural impact of cannabis by being exposed to your favorite cannabis celebrities.

Having fittingly premiered on 4/20, Cooked with Cannabis is one of the newest weed additions to Netflix’s lineup.

Every dish they produce is cannabis-infused. Watch along if you love competitive cooking shows and maybe even get inspired to try some of these recipes at home!
