Cannabis cooking shows

Watching cooking shows has become a very popular pastime for many Americans. Combine those traditional shows with foods infused with cannabis and you have a million-dollar idea. Weed cooking shows are becoming more and more popular as the stigma surrounding its use and legalization soars. We have compiled a list of some of the newest and best cannabis cooking shows and where to watch them.

Cooked with Cannabis

Combining a fast-paced cooking challenge with cannabis, this Netflix show delivers everything we would want in a cooking show.

Bong Appetite

Debuting on Hulu in 2017, Bong Appetite is a cooking show that brings together chefs to create cannabis-infused meals for themed dinner parties. Seen as more relaxing than other cannabis cooking shows, the chefs passionately talk about how their dishes are made and how they infused them with cannabis.

Munchies

Found on Amazon Prime, Munchies is an entirely different ball game than the other mentioned cooking shows. First aired in 2016, Munchies features comedians who get high and then try their hand at cooking a specific dish. While there isn’t much to be learned from this show, the antics, and humor are worth the watch. While it has been described as a bit chaotic, it is still a good, short 15-minutes per episode watch.

Other cannabis shows

Weed the People

While many states are now fighting for the legalization of recreational cannabis, many people had to make an even harder fight for medical use for themselves or their children. Filmmaker Abby Epstein and TV host Ricki Lake, along with the crew at Netflix, follow pediatric cancer patients who have used medical cannabis and their families who have fought extremely hard for them to get the treatment that helps them. In addition to the patients, the hosts also speak with cannabis doctors and professionals who wholeheartedly offer their unwavering support for the medical use of cannabis.

Grass is Greener

This documentary, available on Netflix, takes a deep dive into the history of cannabis and cannabis prohibition in the U.S. through the lens of music and race. Hosted by hip-hop legend Fab 5 Freddy, Grass is Greener features a host of celebrity guests such as Snoop Dogg, Chuck D., and Damien Marley. The film opens with music and weed icons of the jazz age, including Louis Armstrong and Count Basie, and the government’s push to ban cannabis. It also highlights how films like Reefer Madness and other racist propaganda were used to push the narrative of the “dangers” of cannabis. The history of cannabis in America has long been intertwined with the music of America and Munchies takes a look at how race has played into the entire narrative.

Murder Mountain

Murder Mountain is a Netflix documentary about the dark side of Humboldt County (California) legends and the mysterious number of people who go missing within its borders. From the outside, Humboldt County has long been seen as a green fantasy land brimming with high-quality cannabis at every turn. Full of striking footage throughout the Emerald Triangle, Murder Mountain closely follows the case of 29-year-old Garret Rodriguez, who was found murdered there in 2013. While some locals feel the documentary smears the name of Humboldt County, Murder Mountain shines a light on an otherwise hushed part of the quiet community.

Have a Good Trip

While not necessarily about cannabis, Netflix’s Have a Good Trip is a movie about the use of psychedelics and celebrities telling their stories about their experiences using them. First aired in 2020, Have a Good Trip is hosted by Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson) as he interviews a vast array of A-and-B-list celebrities as they share their hilarious experiences with psychedelics. Even if you’re not into them yourself, it is very entertaining to watch while stoned.
