High Times' Potluck is a stoner comedy film released in 2002, written and directed by Alison Thompson. The movie's plot centers around Smilin' Jack, a cannabis seed salesman, and his friends as they face a series of setbacks and adventures in their pursuit of a good time. Smilin' Jack, played by Frank Adonis, is a middle-aged man who is passionate about marijuana. He spends his days traveling around the country, selling his famous brand of seeds to anyone who shares his love for the plant. Jack is joined on his journey by a colorful cast of characters, including the beautiful punk rock singer Mary Jane, played by Theo Kogan, and the aging hippie chick Mama, played by Sylvia Miles.

The film takes place over the course of one wild and crazy weekend as Jack and his friends attend a High Times Cannabis Cup festival in Amsterdam. The festival brings together stoners from around the world to celebrate their love of marijuana, and Jack is determined to enjoy every minute of it. Along the way, the group encounters a number of hilarious and outrageous situations, including a run-in with the law, a visit to a hot tub brothel, and a search for the rarest and most potent strain of weed known to man.

While the plot of the film is somewhat thin, the strength of High Times' Potluck lies in its characters and their interactions. The chemistry between the cast is strong, and the film does a good job of capturing the camaraderie and sense of community that exists among marijuana enthusiasts. The dialogue is full of weed-related puns and jokes that will have smokers rolling with laughter.

In addition to being a comedy, High Times' Potluck also has a message about the legalization of marijuana. The film takes a pro-legalization stance, arguing that marijuana should be legalized and regulated like alcohol. While the message may be a bit heavy-handed at times, it is a refreshing change from the typical "just say no" rhetoric that dominates most drug-related films.

The film's cinematography is nothing special, but it does a good job of capturing the hazy, trippy world of the stoner lifestyle. The soundtrack is also noteworthy, featuring a number of trippy and psychedelic songs that perfectly capture the film's mood.

While High Times' Potluck is certainly not a cinematic masterpiece, it is an entertaining and enjoyable film that is sure to appeal to stoners and fans of raunchy comedies. The film's humor is unabashedly low-brow, but it never feels mean-spirited or offensive. Overall, High Times' Potluck is a fun and lighthearted film that celebrates the joys of marijuana and friendship.
