7 YouTube Channels to Watch While High

If you're going to blow a high in a YouTube rabbit hole, why not make it good?
If you're going to blow a high in a YouTube rabbit hole, why not make it good?

There’s just something about getting high that makes you want to keep consuming: hilarious TV shows, trippy films, instrument-heavy music, immersive art, etc. Cannabis inspires curiosity and creativity, and in the age of the Internet, there are plenty of opportunities for weed-induced exploration just waiting for us at the tips of our fingers.

Of course, there’s one platform in particular that allows for hours of endlessly scrolling through tutorials, educational videos, and WTF moments caught on candid camera: the holy grail of random Internet shit, YouTube.


These seven YouTube channels are fan favorites to watch while high, and we highly recommend you do the same.

1. Primitive Technology

Primitive Technology is a YouTube channel featuring Queensland man John Plant, who creates various tools and materials using nothing but things found in the wild.

Each video – featuring Plant wordlessly working at a pace so soothing it’s practically ASMR – is accompanied by cut and dry descriptions of Plant’s process, with incredible statements like: “It should be pointed out that I do not live in the wild and that this is just a hobby” peppered throughout.

Yes, I suppose it should.

2. Brave Wilderness

Featuring Animal Planet host Nathaniel “Coyote” Peterson, Brave Wilderness documents and educates viewers on the “wild world of adventure.” 

Peterson records close-up interactions with animals, explores folksy phenomena like Bigfoot, and even cuts off a rhino’s horn at one point.

3. The Slow Mo Guys

If you don’t feel “high enough,” you certainly will after checking out The Slow Mo Guys. To put it bluntly, this YouTube channel features a bunch of shit in slow motion, like diving into mousetraps, belly-flopping onto a six-foot water balloon, and other strangely aesthetically-pleasing experiences.

4. CrashCourse

Looking to learn something new? CrashCourse is your one-stop-shop for a random, beautiful amalgamation of real-life-applicable topics, like managing finances, making loan payments, transitioning from student to employee, and all of the other mandatory life skills we never actually learn in school.

5. Kurzgesagt

Named after the German word for “in a nutshell,” Kurzgesagt is an animated channel that breaks down educational content in a minimalist, easily-digestible fashion.

Viewers will learn about topics like climate change, optimistic nihilism, and brain-eating amoeba – and being high while doing so is the cherry on top of enlightenment.

6. Vsauce

Vsauce features videos with no real rhyme or reason – just a unified intent to “feed the curious and illuminate the amazing.” 

The channel explores some of life’s craziest questions, like: Did people used to look older? Do chairs exist?

7. Omeleto

Omeleto is the home of the world’s best short films, and their YouTube channel allows the public to access the critically-acclaimed work that has graced the screens of the Oscars, Sundance, Cannes, and more.

Perusing their channel, you’ll be swept up in a series of short-but-intimate stories, like a homeless teen meeting a deaf-blind man, a father being cut off from his son, and two strangers at a wedding reception making an unexpected connection

I’m not crying…you are.

NY Movie Theaters: High on Cannabis Lounges

In the dimly lit ambiance of New York City's historic movie theaters, the scent of buttered popcorn has long been the olfactory hallmark. However, as cannabis legalization sweeps across the state, a provocative question emerges: Could the future of cinema include the aroma of cannabis alongside the traditional concessions?

The Current Landscape of Cannabis Consumption Lounges

New York State’s Clean Indoor Air Act (CIAA) casts a long shadow over this budding idea. Enacted to safeguard public health, the CIAA prohibits smoking and vaping in most indoor workplaces, encompassing bars, restaurants, and, notably, movie theaters. The act defines smoking expansively, including the burning of tobacco, cannabis, or cannabinoid-hemp products. Violations can result in fines up to $2,000 for each infraction, underscoring the state’s commitment to maintaining smoke-free public spaces.

DEA's Anti-420 Fail

In a move that seems more like a relic from the “Just Say No” era than a contemporary public health initiative, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is backing an “Anti-420 Day” campaign aimed at recruiting high school and college students to produce anti-cannabis content for Instagram. This initiative, which also aims to address drug abuse among high school and college students by highlighting its impact on education and behavior, is spearheaded by the anti-cannabis nonprofit Johnny’s Ambassadors. It offers modest incentives—$25 to $50 Amazon gift cards—for videos warning peers about the purported dangers of THC use.

A Disconnect from Current Drug Policy Realities

At a time when more than 23 states have embraced full cannabis legalization and public opinion has shifted significantly in favor of reform, the DEA’s endorsement of this campaign appears tone-deaf and regressive. The agency’s attempt to “flood” social media with anti-THC messages not only disregards the evolving legal landscape but also undermines efforts toward normalization and informed discourse surrounding cannabis use. A multifaceted approach to drug abuse prevention, which includes increased resources for prevention and rehabilitation, is necessary to address the complexities of drug addiction. This contrasts sharply with the DEA's current strategies that emphasize law enforcement and interdiction over public health-focused measures.
