A high-concept sketch comedy that mines absurdist humor from the collision between stoner logic and American history, prioritizing laughs over coherence.

Two young stoners mistakenly believe the American Civil War is being waged over the legalization of marijuana. They join the cause and embark on an epic journey that brings them face to face with the Union, the Confederacy, the Pony Express, and eventually Abraham Lincoln himself.
