I watched this movie back when it came out and it was good even to someone critical of drug use like myself, and now 2 decades on i agree its dated as older movies are, but the pro-offended people giving it 1-star ratings are overreacting
ive seen this across plenty of movies over imbd, people who think "theyre so cultured" by applying 2020's movie standards to decades old movies, ignoring that standards were different then.

pay no heed to the haters
as dimwitted as the people whom it portrays
"Half Baked" is probably the best example of a movie that you sit around in your underwear and watch. A stupid - and I assume deliberately stupid - attempt at re-creating the spirit of Cheech and Chong, they just do any ridiculous thing that they want as three pothead friends (Dave Chappelle, Jim Breuer, Guillermo Diaz) try to raise money to bail a fellow stoner (Harland Williams) out of jail. There are some funny scenes, namely the hallucinations, but I recommend just sticking with Cheech and Chong. Pretty worthless, unless you're willing to accept something totally silly. Featuring appearances by Jon Stewart, Willie Nelson, Clarence Williams III and Tommy Chong.
The Essential Stoner Comedy
The story of three not so bright men who come up with a series of crazy schemes to get a friend out of jail.
With all due respect to Cheech and Chong, this is probably the greatest marijuana-themed comedy ever made. I am not a smoker, but I still find the antics here funny and there are just so many clever and original lines that you cannot help but love it. Dave Chappelle is the perfect leading man, and it would be great if he had stayed in show business.
You also have to love the cameos. This film more or less gave a second wind to Bob Saget's career. We get Jon Stewart before he was culturally relevant, and both Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg, the two modern icons of marijuana culture.
