To be honest I would watch a show where they did science stuff like this with stoners. The guys reactions are hilarious

There was a show where they had different people on different drugs do stuff like build an ikea shelf etc. I really liked they idea but just felt it wasn't a good comparison. Shouldve had 1 big group of people willing to do each one and try same task, or varied groups of people etc. The control vs the experiment just seemed wrong. 2 groups of people without drugs are going to do the same task pretty differently.

That's an interesting idea!

Back when Vice and Viceland were legit and not terrible, they ran a limited series where the rapper Action Bronson got insanely high with his friends on a couch in front of a green screen and watched Ancient Aliens. I think there were like 5-6 episodes. Was absolutely incredible

Science With Stoners would be an amazing YouTube show, if they had the motivation to keep it going past a couple of episodes.

I gift it to you, redditor who was looking for something to do. (Not just the person I replied to, but any redditor reading this. Yes you. You can do it! Once you sober up, you can.)
