When the THC or CBD kicks in, it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy some quality TV. Though there's an abundance of shows across all genres on every streaming platform these days, we think these four series, a mix of old goodies and newer must-sees, are all apt choices for your next chill night in, whether you partake or not.
DAN DA DAN
With a full 12-episode first season already wrapped, and a second set to start airing this July, this wacky, manga-based anime series — an instant hit in both its print and digital forms — revolves around aliens, ghosts and a squad of quirky high schoolers who suddenly get sucked into this supernatural spectacle. With tons of trippy animated scenes of said aliens, and even a malicious granny spirit who literally steals protagonist Okarun's um... balls (I'm serious), your Dan Da Dan viewing experience may well be even more enjoyable after popping a relaxing edible. It's an action-packed series with wildly creative, vibrantly colorful action scenes, relatable character interactions, a super unique plot and tons of humor. Watch on Crunchyroll, Netflix, Hulu, and Apple TV (CHEY SCOTT)
ADVENTURE TIME
Come along with 12-year-old Finn and his magical dog companion, Jake, as they navigate the post-apocalyptic, whimsical Land of Ooo in the span of Adventure Times' 10 seasons. In this cartoon, Finn and Jake battle strange creatures, thwart evil-doers like the Ice King and the Lich, and explore their inner turmoils while questioning their purpose in life. The short episode format, roughly 11 minutes each, makes this bite-sized show perfect for the munchies. Feast your eyes on the vibrant colors and fantastical elements, your ears on the electronic/indie soundtrack, and prepare for some giggles courtesy of the show's quirky comedy. Watch on Cartoon Network, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Max, Apple TV and YouTube TV (DORA SCOTT)
I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE
There's no feeling quite like laughing your ass off while high on life and other things. I Think You Should Leave is the perfect show to watch if you're craving some ab-forming belly laughs. With each episode coming in at under 20 minutes, Tim Robinson's absurd sketch comedy show is entirely binge-worthy (there are three seasons so far) and impressively unpredictable. Sketches range from hot dog-shaped cars driven by a hot dog costume-donning Robinson crashing through the window of a retail store to bodies floppin' out of coffins. The cast and, of course, Robinson, are basically hosting a cringefest in the best way possible — it's something you have to experience firsthand to fully understand. And once you do, you'll never get into a car without your fedora and cigar again. Watch on Netflix (MADISON PEARSON)
CHARMED
Although Charmed finished airing before recreational cannabis was legal in any state, I think it's one of the best shows to blaze through while baked (and it probably was then, too). The eight-season paranormal drama follows the three Halliwell sisters who come into their powers as witches after their Grams dies. Very quickly the trio learns that their very existence as the "Charmed Ones" makes them the most powerful witches to ever live — and the most targeted. Each episode it feels like a new demon or warlock or creature is after the sisters, even as they attempt to lead average lives. The early 2000s TV magic is also a trip to watch under the influence as it all just feels quite silly. Watch on Peacock, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV and Youtube TV. (COLTON RASANEN)
