Teddy: 'Cause grass helps you see things clearer.
Jack Melon: I thought it was supposed to cloud things up.

Skateboarding = Pothead, 20 July 2007
7/10
Author: lzevon from Rhode Island

I have fleeting memories of this movie... I remember the swimming scene and the brother getting cracked on the head with the oar.

I also remember he had this cool little box on the bottom of his skateboard that he used to store his weed. I thought for a pothead that was pretty inventive. I'm surprised a line of skateboard 'trunks' (boots for your Brits) never ensued. I did a lot of skateboarding in those days and grinding or rail sliding was not as popular. The style then was more old school - laid-back carving to which smoking weed is conducive.

I found this movie for sale in only one place, Google the words "STONED DVD 1980 TV movie Scott Baio"
