Silas (Method Man) and Jamal King (Redman) are two stoners living in the inner city. Silas is a weed grower, with aspirations of getting his own high tech growing lab. Jamal is just a lazy bum, living with his mom. After Silas's friend Ivory sets his new dreads on fire and falls out a window to his death, Silas decides to use his ashes in a special new weed, and take the THC's to get into college. Meeting Jamal there, they smoke it up, and discover they can see Ivory's ghost, and he can give them all the right answers. With perfect scores, the new friends are accepted into Harvard, much to the uptight Dean's dismay. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Ivory was shown getting burned by the fire due to passing out with the cigar that was in his mouth falling out and burning his dreadlocks, causing his entire body to ignite as he falls out of the window and shown hitting the pavement while the flames around his corpse engulf. It is later revealed after his demise that he actually survived the fire. What really killed him was an oncoming bus that ran him over after his celebration of temporary survival. | |
