Reddit’s Funniest “Too High” Stories: From Mildly Baked to Completely Unhinged

The internet is full of funny weed stories, but Reddit is where the truly unhinged ones live. There’s something about the anonymity and camaraderie of stoner subreddits that makes people confess their most ridiculous, embarrassing, and surprisingly wholesome high moments.

We scrolled through the depths of r/trees, r/weed, and r/AskReddit to bring you the best “too high” stories the platform has to offer. Some of these funny weed stories will make you laugh. Some will make you feel better about your own choices. And one involves a toilet getting shot for reasons that remain unclear to this day.

These funny weed stories range from “mildly relatable” to “how are you still alive?” Consider this your guide to the full spectrum of cannabis chaos… and maybe a reminder to pace yourself next time.

These funny weed stories often start with the most mundane moments. One Redditor shared a too high moment so relatable it hurts:

“Checking my left pockets for my lighter, with my lighter in my right hand. Then I put the lighter in my left hand so I can use my right hand to check my right pockets for my lighter. This process repeats until I realize what is going on.”

This is peak funny weed stories content. A person trapped in an infinite loop of their own making. We’ve all been there. The lighter was in your hand the whole time. It’s always in your hand.

From the same Reddit thread comes a gravity bong story that redefines “couch lock”:

“I was pretty much a weed noob, and my best friend came over and he made a 2L gravity bong… While he sat speaking to my gran for 3 hours about her substance history I slowly fell off the chair… FOR 3 HOURS. I was at a 70 degree angle in the first hour, by the second I was literally 45 degrees and by the third hour I was on the floor.”

The mental image of someone gradually sliding off a chair in slow motion while their friend casually chats with grandma is comedy gold. These are the funny weed stories that keep us humble.

Not all Reddit “too high” stories are lighthearted. Some take a hard left turn into absolute chaos. This one is a wild ride:

“I was picking up a bag and I was hanging out smoking with my guy. Suddenly the front door of the apartment gets kicked in and a very large black guy walks in with a pistol. He doesn’t look at me or my guy and just walks by us and down the hall like we don’t exist. Before either of us could say anything we hear a single gunshot and the big dude walks back out like nothing happened.”

The twist? “We went back to the bathroom and sure enough there was a bullet hole in the bottom of the bowl. No idea what that guy’s beef was with the roommate but that toilet sure paid the price.”

Some funny weed stories leave you with more questions than answers. This is one of them. What did that toilet do? We’ll never know.

This wholesome pickup story proves that funny weed stories aren’t always chaotic. Sometimes they’re heartwarming:

“Went to meet my dude at a local park for a pick up. I walk up to his car, he winds down his window, and his dog just launches itself through the window. Just this Staffie missile taking off into the park.”

After an hour of chasing the dog, which was a gift from the dealer’s late father, our hero finally catches it with treats from their own pocket. The reward? “I was only there to pick up a Q, he gave me a half as a thank you and always added an extra 3.5g when I picked up off him.”

That’s on being in the right place at the right time… with some dog treats.

This legendary Reddit tale is peak Reddit content:

Two friends are smoking at an abandoned train station in South Africa at 1am when a white owl lands on the platform. They lose their minds. A white owl? HERE? It must be a spirit animal, a sign from the universe. They take a photo with a disposable camera. They high-five. They hug. They smoke another joint in celebration.

Weeks later, the photos get developed.

It was a seagull.

“But it was a fucking SWEET seagull, though.”

This is why “too high on weed” stories exist. The complete conviction, the spiritual awakening, the devastating reveal, the nonchalant acceptance. It’s perfect.

Sometimes the funniest weed stories are about pure audacity. From the same thread:

“One time when I was high I got pulled over and 4 sheriffs handcuffed me, searched my car (without asking) after an hour and half didn’t find anything. I got back in my car, found a roach in the cup holder, sparked it up and rode off into the sunset.”

The sheer energy of this story is unmatched. And this person’s immediate response to freedom is to light up the roach they somehow missed. While it sounds picture-perfect, it’s our duty to remind you that driving high is illegal and should be avoided at all costs.

This classroom comeback is exactly what you want to see when you search “funny high stories Reddit”:

Three friends walk into class absolutely blazed after smoking a gram of “proper chronic” fresh off a T-break. The teacher, apparently “cool” about these things, quietly approaches and asks, “How high are you?”

The response: “It’s actually pronounced, ‘Hi, how are you?’”

“The thing is, everyone in the class heard and completely lost it.”

This is the kind of quick wit that only emerges when you’re either completely sober or completely gone. There’s no in-between.

This eye drop saga is one of those funny weed stories that’s painfully relatable:

“I was putting on eye drops. Left eye, no problem. Right eye, kept missing. Realized after the 5th try that I was still holding my left eye open and closing my right eye. I wasn’t alone. My friend had watched the whole time but was too high to notice my mistake.”

Two people. One shared brain cell.

This driving story needs a disclaimer:

“While in high school on a Friday night after leaving a party, my friend and I were driving around stoned out of our mind. I was the driver, and I instantly swerved to miss a tree and almost hit the guardrail. Soon after, I realized the tree I swerved to miss was actually my air freshener.”

Important note: Don’t drive high. It’s dangerous, illegal, and apparently, your pine tree air freshener becomes an actual pine tree. Funny weed stories that involve cars are only funny because nobody got hurt. 

Some funny weed stories led to accidental genius. This microwave hack is peak stoner efficiency:

“I microwaved something and when I opened the door to get it, because it wasn’t centered on the turning plate, it was a bit further from the door. So I closed it and restarted the microwave another 5s to get it closer to me so I didn’t have to reach so far back to get it.”

This isn’t dumb. This is innovation. The rotating plate exists for a reason, and this person found a secondary use.

Not all funny weed stories are purely comedic. Some are surprisingly moving. This one is a prime example:

A 79-year-old grandfather dying of bone cancer was told by doctors to try cannabis for his nausea. He’d fought in WW2, never touched illegal drugs, and believed anyone who smoked weed was “a total loser.”

His grandkids brought over a bong.

“We got him really high and he laughed and he cried and we listened to Johnny Cash and it was a pretty amazing experience for all of us. It wasn’t so much getting high that was a revelation for him, it was the fact that he understood finally that people can smoke weed and not be total drugged out losers.”

The weed relieved his nausea when a $750-a-pill medication couldn’t. Grandma made pancakes. They left the bong, and he used it daily for the last two weeks of his life.

The thing about funny weed stories is that they’re universal. Doesn’t matter where you live, what you smoke, or how experienced you are. Cannabis will humble you eventually. You’ll search for something that’s already in your hand. You’ll microwave food an extra five seconds just so you don’t have to reach.

These “too high” stories from Reddit prove that our stoner community is nothing if not honest about our most ridiculous moments. So stay lifted, stay humble, and maybe double-check that your spirit animal isn’t just a really confident seagull.
