Victims and Villains

Can you become addicted to marijuana? Or is just the effects? Dave Chappelle answers those questions through his 1998 comedy Half Baked. In our second chapter of Celebration of Diversity, we dive into our first stoner comedy as Chappelle gives us an in detailed breakdown of the culture and breaks stereotypes along the way.
