The date April 20th has become culturally associated with cannabis consumption. This association has led to the creation of a tradition of viewing films specifically chosen for their perceived suitability to enhance the experience of altered perception often associated with the date. These films may include comedies, science fiction, or films with psychedelic visuals or themes.
This tradition offers a communal and lighthearted way to observe the date. For some, it provides an opportunity to engage with media in a novel way, potentially finding new interpretations or appreciating existing works through a different lens. Historically, counter-culture movements have embraced symbolic dates and rituals, and this practice falls within that broader social pattern. The selection of films can reflect individual or group preferences, ranging from cult classics to mainstream releases.
