Totally Baked is a 2007 stoner comedy film directed by Lee Abbott and starring John Oates, Brooke Hasalton, and Thomas Lyons. The film explores the hot-button issue of medical marijuana from the perspective of a tightly-wound, middle-aged father who finds his values challenged when he comes face to face with a group of marijuana activists wielding "loaded" weapons.
The film follows Dave Bertman, a 37-year-old father of one who is struggling to come to terms with his daughter's teenage rebellion. When medical marijuana activists storm his planned reunion barbecue with his college friends, Bertman finds himself forced to confront his own hypocrisy and preconceptions about the drug.
As the night wears on and Bertman finds himself getting more and more stoned, he begins to experience a series of hallucinatory visions that force him to question his values and beliefs. Along the way, he meets a diverse cast of characters, including a stoner couple running a local dispensary, a rowdy biker gang, and a ruthless drug dealer with a taste for violence.
Despite its comedic tone, Totally Baked is a thoughtful exploration of the complex issues surrounding medical marijuana and drug policy. Using humor and satire to challenge traditional cultural norms and push for change, the film is a call to action for those seeking to reform drug laws and embrace the healing potential of cannabis.
