We've all been there. Eyes glazed over and surrounded by snacks, we scroll endlessly through the offerings on Netflix.

If you belong to the special breed of stoners who get weirdly productive while high, Netflix’s Tidying Up With Marie Kondo might help channel that Sativa-induced energy. The show is based on Kondo’s bestselling book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and involves mass decluttering, with Kondo helping folks sift through piles of stuff they might want to keep or shed based on whether or not a thing “sparks joy.” The ideal Netflix weed show for when you're sparking up some joy of your own.

There's nothing like getting the giggles while baked out of your brain and we honestly can't imagine a better time to enjoy stand-up comedy.

In Irresponsible Hart hilariously talks about his personal and very public ups and downs, guaranteed to have you literally laughing out loud.

If you weren't already aware of how perfect wildlife documentaries are as a Netflix weed show go-to, shame on you. Trust us, there's nothing more engrossing than watching nature documentaries when you're blazed.  Seeing animals do anything in slow motion as your brain slows to a crawl is one of life's greatest pleasures and David Attenborough's soothing voice is an added bonus. Experience the planet's natural beauty in spectacular scope with Our Planet, from the bluest oceans, to snowy mountain peaks and scorching deserts, you might even shed a tear.

American Vandal

American Vandal was Netflix's most-watched show of 2017, and if you haven’t seen it, getting high is a good way to binge the whole season. The series takes place in a high school and revolves around a crime: 27 faculty cars are vandalized with phallic images, resulting in a witch hunt for the perpetrator. The mockumentary perfectly satirizes the true crime genre, and you’ll actually find yourself caught up in the burning question: who drew the dicks?

Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman

Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman follows a Tokyo businessman (aka salaryman) who leads a double life, skiving off his day job to sample some of the city’s most indulgent desserts. But this is no regular food show, rather a mix of philosophical musings, office politics, and trippy sequences. Each episode is named after a Japanese dessert and features such glorious food photography that it'll leave you drooling — munchies or not.

Mac & Devin Go to High School

Sometimes you just need to go with the classics and press play on one of the best stoner movies on Netflix. While Mac & Devin Go to High School is no Friday or Half Baked, it deserves a spot on your smoking watch list. The movie follows Snoop Dogg's struggle to graduate from high school, assisted by a very fresh-faced Wiz Khalifa in his acting debut. The movie is classic stoner fare, with plenty of weed jokes and a particularly memorable dentist visit, not to mention a next-level soundtrack that gifted us the forever summer anthem “Young, Wild & Free.”

The Great British Baking Show

If you smoked a bit too much and are getting paranoid, what you need is the sheer wholesomeness and low-stakes entertainment of The Great British Baking Show. The series puts a group of amateur bakers to the test as they vie for the title of best amateur baker. As you can tell from the trailer above, there’s sharp criticism, drama, and lots and lots of delicious baked goods, so we recommend having some snacks handy.

The Circle

Reality TV is binge-worthy under normal circumstances, The Circle is especially addictive — The Circle while high? Out of this world. Delve deep into your paranoia and weed-infused conspiracy theories while watching the show which is equal parts Big Brother and Catfish. The trippy and all-too-real series features contestants who live in an apartment but never see each other,  live virtual lives and judge each other on social media.

Ultimate Beastmaster

While Ultimate Beastmaster is 100 percent not aimed at stoners, there’s no escaping the simple fact that it’s the best TV show to watch while high once you've exhausted the robust catalog of stoner movies on Netflix. Firstly, it's created by Sylvester Stallone, which is reason enough to watch. Secondly, it follows over-enthusiastic athletes as they attempt to pass an over-the-top obstacle course called "The Beast" in the hope of being crowned "The Beastmaster." The entire series is ridiculous, but once blazed, it levels up to a fall-on-the-floor-laughing viewing experience — trust us.
