Mac and Devin Go to High School

Parents need to know that the 2011 Mac and Devin Go to High School is rapper Snoop Dogg's unapologetic tribute to the joys and benefits of getting high on marijuana, a case he makes without any real reference to possible drawbacks to the drug's use. A cartoon character called Slow Burn, shaped like a rolled marijuana cigarette, is the narrator. He provides a tutorial on weed and its various forms and nicknames: "kush," "Mary Jane," "the Green." Women are frequently referred to as "bitches." Bare breasts are shown as high school students have sex, sometimes with other students and in one case with a prostitute, and language includes "f--k," "s--t," the "N" word, "p---y," "ass," and "d--k." It's implied that in order to get out of trouble, a student who sells weed will have to perform sexual acts with the female principal. A student is having an affair with her father's best friend. A teenager reports that because his girlfriend is "saving it," she will only have anal sex with him. Mac and a girl find a yard-long joint in the principal's office and, with the P.A. system broadcasting their conversation to the school, they talk about how unimaginably "big" it is while they breathe heavily. A blond exchange student tells the camera that she'd give a "Swedish blow job" in exchange for weed. A woman in a skimpy leopard-print bikini runs her hands over her body suggestively. Two girls kiss. An assistant principal says he wants to fill the new substitute with his "man seed." Given that studies shows that younger brains are more susceptible to permanent damage from drug use, parents should be especially aware that setting the action in a high school and presenting the talented and likable rapper Wiz Khalifa may make marijuana use seem attractive to younger viewers.
