Stoner Films
Stoner film is a subgenre of comedy film based on Cannabis (drug), marijuana themes, where Recreational drug use, recreational use often drives the plot, sometimes representing cannabis culture more broadly or intended for that audience. Genre The midnight movie scene in theaters of the 1970s revived the hectoring anti-drug propaganda film ''Reefer Madness'' (1936) as an ironic counterculture comedy. The broad popularity of ''Reefer Madness'' led to a new audience for extreme anti-drug films bordering on self-parody, including ''Assassin of Youth'' (1937), ''Marihuana (1936 film), Marihuana'' (1936), and ''She Shoulda Said No!'' a.k.a.

''High Times'' magazine, founded in 1974, began sponsoring the first Stony Awards in 2000, c ...
