Adult Swim show Rick and Morty is one of the most highly rated shows on IMDB. It has a passionate base of followers that would make Game of Thrones fans feel average. McDonald’s even brought back their Szechuan sauce—at select locations for one day only—as a nod to the show.
And while marijuana isn’t a central part of any character’s arc (Rick can access every drug in every conceivable universe if sufficiently motivated), it is a known part of at least some of the dimensions Rick and Morty live in and visit. In the end-credit scene of Lawnmower Dog (S1, Ep2), Rick is seen smoking pot with Scary Terry.
Of course, many fans of the show claim it’s so funny and smart that you don’t get anything more out of it when stoned. It’s already good enough.
Well, if the Meeseeks won’t accept “good enough,” I don’t see why we should. So in the interest of living up to Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s high standards, here’s a complete episode guide to watching Rick and Morty with weed.
A Cannabis Strain for Every Rick & Morty Adventure
Season 1
(S1, Ep1) Pilot
Grand Daddy Purple. This indica-dominant strain has been credited with starting the purple pot craze, much like the pilot episode marked the beginning of the Ricky and Morty craze—one that has only gained steam after three seasons.
“Holy cow, Rick! I didn’t know hanging out with you was making me smarter!”
(S1, Ep2) Lawnmower Dog
Super Dawg. Rick makes Snuffles the dog super intelligent and the duo start entering dreams inception style. So sit back and enter a calm, happy dreamlike state.
“Inception made sense!”
“You don’t have to try and impress me, Morty.”
(S1, Ep3) Anatomy Park
Speed Queen. Fantastic Voyage meets Jurassic Park. This body-shot of an episode pairs well with a body buzzing strain like Speed Queen. The indica hybrid offers a lazy, relaxing, but social high. Perfect for a day at Anatomy Park.
“Anatomy Park’s greatest attraction, young man, isn’t the music or the food or the… Pirates of the Pancreas.”
(S1, Ep4) M. Night Shaym-Aliens!
Sour Diesel. Aliens use virtual reality to try and get Rick’s recipe for concentrated dark matter. This one has layers, and Sour Diesel’s energizing, dreamy head high make it ideal for a story with more than a few twists.
“I mean, why would a Pop-Tart want to live inside a toaster, Rick? I mean, th-that would be like the scariest place for them to live.”
(S1, Ep5) Meeseeks and Destroy
Lemon Ice. Meeseeks only exist to help, but Jerry can’t be helped. Lemon Ice is a sativa-dominant hybrid with a strong head high that, like Mr. Meeseeks, can be a little hard to handle if you’re prone to anxiety.
“Grandpa Rick! Can you help me with my science homework?”
“Yeah, d— Just don’t do it.”
(S1, Ep6) Rick Potion #9
Sour Dream. Morty asks Rick for a love potion. Sour Dream is known for its euphoric, giggle-inducing, and social high. Perfect for cuddling up with someone special for a Rick and Morty marathon.
“I hate to break it to you, but what people call “love” is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it. Your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle, Morty. Rise above. Focus on science.”
(S1, Ep7) Raising Gazorpazorp
Mama San. Morty raises an alien child and learns a lesson about fatherhood. Mama San is a popular strain in Colorado that offers a relaxing, happy high and a small burst of pain relief perfect for parents trying to unwind with a bit of Rick and Morty while the kids are away at camp.
“Love… that’s all you care about! What about weapons?! What about domination of the enemy?!”
“Alright, that’s it! No more History Channel! This TV is for cartoons and video games only!”
(S1, Ep8) Rixty Minutes
Banana Stand Kush. Rick tunes the TV to receive every channel from every conceivable universe. What better way to watch than with a big yellow joint of Banana Stand Kush, a strain inspired by Netflix show Arrested Development.
“When two people create a life together, they set aside their previous lives as individuals.”
“Gimme a break! We’re not heroes for having unprotected sex on prom night.”
(S1, Ep9) Something Ricked This Way Comes
Hell Raiser OG. Summer works for the devil at a pawn shop. If Rick and Morty are raising Hell, it’s only right that you join them with Hell Raiser OG, an indica-dominant cross. It even has a lemon-pine aroma you might expect at a pawn shop.
“Don’t pay for cool stuff with your soul. Pay for it with money. You know, like how every store in the world works?”
(S1, Ep10) Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind
Houdini. Evil Rick and Evil Morty make an appearance in this Rick-laden and sometimes disturbing entry in the series. The sedative body high in Houdini (indica) will keep you glued to the couch for every twist and reveal this episode has to offer.
“Turn your boring, old Morty into a… hot fashion statement… with some Morty dazzlers!”
(S1, Ep11) Ricksy Business
Northern Lights. Jerry and Beth attend a Titanic reenactment that goes horribly wrong. What better way to enjoy this episode than with Northern Lights, one of the most famous indicas ever to cross the Atlantic.
“Morty, do you know what “wubba lubba dub dub” means?”
Season 2
(S2, Ep1) A Rickle in Time
Girl Scout Cookies. Time can only stand still for so long in this Rick and Morty season premier. Winner of multiple Cannabis Cup awards and lauded for its high THC levels, hybrid Girl Scout Cookies will let you slow time just like your favorite characters.
“This is why you don’t freeze time, you guys. It’s incredibly irresponsible.”
“And you did it so we could clean the house after a party?!”
(S2, Ep2) Mortynight Run
Amber Waves. Rick leaves Jerry in a daycare designed for Jerries. Find your own pain relief with high-CBD, sativa-dominant Amber Waves so you can enjoy this fun, Jerry-heavy episode.
“What kind of business do you do in a garage? Y’know, this seems a little shady.”
“Right, yeah, like nothing shady ever happened in a fully furnished office? You ever hear about Wall Street, Morty?”
(S2, Ep3) Auto Erotic Assimilation
Power Kush. Rick meets an ex-lover planning to assimilate the universe. Join Unity and become one with the universe with Power Kush, a sweet and skunky indica with a high that’s both physical and cerebral.
“’World peace achieved.’ Nice. Little weird to publish a paper about it for yourself, but hey. So, what’s next?”
(S2, Ep4) Total Rickall
Jack Herer. Alien parasites plant fake memories and Mr. Poopybutthole spends some time with the family. Keep your head clear with Jack Herer, the blissful, creative sativa known for its consistently high quality and potency.
“Get off the high road, Summer! We all got pinkeye because you won’t stop texting on the toilet.”
(S2, Ep5) Get Schwifty
Durban Poison. A massive head appears, holding the world hostage and demanding an original song. Durban Poison is a sweet-smelling, energetic sativa great for staying productive. You know, in case you need to write and perform a song to save the world from a Cromulon.
“Mr. President, if I’ve learned one thing today, it’s that sometimes you have to not give a f***!”
(S2, Ep6) The Ricks Must Be Crazy
Chem Dawg. Rick uses a tiny universe to power his car. Chem Dawg is a relaxing, euphoric hybrid credited with being the original source for powerhouses like Sour Diesel and OG Kush.
“Oh, man! Where are we, Rick?”
“Morty, remember eight seconds ago when—when you said “Go inside what?” and I said “The battery”? And then we showed up here and I wasn’t like, “Whoa, this is unexpected. This is not what I was expecting, Morty. What a perplexing mystery this is.”
(S2, Ep7) Big Trouble in Little Sanchez
Critical Mass. Rick puts his consciousness in the body of a teenage clone to hunt a vampire. Too much Rick in one body can be problematic, and Critical Mass got its name for having bud so dense it can reach ‘critical mass’ and snap the branch.
“I got bored and then I remembered this morning how I blew Summer off and I thought, ‘Hey, why’re you such a grumpy douche, Rick? Go to the garage, transfer your mind into a younger clone of yourself, and get embroiled on in some youthful hijinks. What’s the BFD?’ So here I am. I’m Tiny Rick!!”
(S2, Ep8) Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate
Prickly Muffin. Rick and the family watch interdimensional cable at the hospital after Jerry ingests bacteria Rick was storing. Another episode about interdimensional cable calls for another strain inspired by popular TV series (this time Bojack Horseman).
“All right! That’s enough! You guys are talking about my species! We understand genocide! We do it sometimes!”
(S2, Ep9) Look Who’s Purging Now

“I just did, Morty. Here’s dessert. F*** you.”
Season 3

Blueberry. Rick’s in prison in this highly anticipated season premier. It only seems right to honor the return of Adult Swim’s perennial hit with one of your own. Many smokers wait all year to get their hands on a bit of Blueberry bud.
“I want that Mulan McNugget sauce, Morty! That’s my series arc, Morty! If it takes nine seasons, I want my McNugget… dipping sauce Szechuan sauce, Morty!”
(S3, Ep2) Rickmancing the Stone
Atomic. Mad Max meets mad Morty, and the only way to celebrate such an explosive pairing is with a powerful head rush and body high like you get with the super potent hybrid Atomic.
“Summer, next time we’re hiding in a chlorkian echo nest, can you do me a favour and turn your ringer off?!”
“It’s called carpe diem Morty. Look it up.”
“You look it up, you don’t- you don’t even know what it means.”
“That’s because losers look stuff up while the rest of us are carp’en all them diems.”
(S3, Ep3) Pickle Rick
Edibles. Rick turns himself into a pickle in this odd and endearing episode. So in honor of characters becoming food, we’re recommending edibles for this episode.

“And?”
“’And?’ What more do you want tacked on to this? I turned myself into a pickle and 9/11 was an inside job?”
(S3, Ep4) Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender

(S3, Ep5) The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy
Golden Goat. Rick takes Jerry on an adventure, and Golden Goat offers just the right balance of happy, uplifting, and super potent for such a silly (but surprisingly heavy) episode.
“I survive cause I know everything, that snake survives because children wander off, and you survive cause people think ‘Ooh! This poor piece of s*** he never gets a break! I can’t stand the deafening silent wails of his wilting soul. I guess I’ll hire him or marry him.’”
(S3, Ep6) Rest and Ricklaxation
Bruce Banner. Rick and Morty go to the spa to get some toxins removed. As the namesake for the Hulk and one of the most potent strains ever tested at the HIGH TIMES Cannabis Cup, this powerful sativa hybrid is just right for a bit of Rest and Ricklaxation.
“Now who can tell me the common denominator of these two fractions? You don’t know or you’re just bored?”

(S3, Ep7) The Ricklantis Mixup
Skywalker OG. Ricks and Mortys are living in the Citadel, and you can join them in a galaxy far far away with Skywalker OG, a potent indica-dominant strain with a strong body high.
“Seems like a good time for a drink and a cold calculated speech with sinister overtones.”

Memory Loss. A sativa known for a strong mind high that leaves some smokers disoriented and forgetful, Memory Loss is the perfect companion for this episode about revisiting lost memories. I think. I don’t remember.

(S3, Ep9) The ABCs of Beth
OG Kush. Rick and Beth travel to Froopyland, a world Rick made for young Beth. As the strain that birthed some of the most popular cannabis varieties on the West Coast, the stress-squashing OG Kush is a natural pairing with this story about the birth of a world.

(S4, Ep3) One Crew Over the Crewcoo’s Morty
Green Crack. Someone stole the thing Rick and Morty were trying to steal. You may not be cracking safes, but a little Green Crack goes a long way with this episode: an uplifting sativa that won’t leave you jittery, and a sweet citrus profile worth hunting for.

Tiger’s Milk. The spaceship gets a flat tire and a snakebite leads to a bit of time travel. Smoke a bowl of Tiger’s Milk for a cerebral, borderline psychedelic high perfect for meeting intelligent space snakes with Rick and Morty.
“That’s a sample by the way, it wears off after 10 hours and after that it’ll cost you 30 bucks.”
