South Park
Known for its outlandish and often controversial humor, South Park has been a beloved comedy series since its debut in 1997.

In Cooked with Cannabis, top chefs from all over the United States come together to compete and show off their cannabis culinary skills.

Bong Appetit
Just as cannabis was beginning to become mainstream, Bong Appetit exploded onto the scene as one of the first legit weed cooking shows. In its first season, each installment featured a different world-renowned chef as they completed a multi-course, mind-blowing meal that was infused with cannabis. As the show has progressed, it has taken on the same competition format as many other shows on the market, but still maintains its reputation for excellence.
