The good people at the comedy YouTube channel Nacho Punch have released a parody video in which “Neil deGrasse Tyson” rips a bong before beginning “to tell you how f$#%!\*g rad space is.” “We all were created from stars. Everything is star stuff,” says Parody Tyson. “This, this, this pizza. This cheese. And these pepperonis. Stars. They’re all—mmmm….how is that made from stars?” The whole thing gets pretty weird and kind of terrifying, which, if you are in fact lighting up before watching the real Cosmos, might be spot on. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/110701/cosmos-weed/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/110701/cosmos-weed/"},"headline":"‘Cosmos on Weed’ Puts the 'Grass' in 'Neil deGrasse Tyson'","datePublished":"2014-05-23T17:33:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:09:59.184Z","description":"We’re pretty sure these exact conversations happen all over the country while Cosmos is showing","url":"https://time.com/110701/cosmos-weed/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Marijuana","Pot","Parody","Weed","cosmos","neil degrasse tyson"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Denver Nicks","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/denver-nicks/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/110701/cosmos-weed/","name":"‘Cosmos on Weed’ Puts the 'Grass' in 'Neil deGrasse Tyson'"}}]}] ```
