From the NY Times Film article on Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantánamo Bay:

In this cheerless landscape “Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantánamo Bay,” the sequel to the 2004 cult favorite “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle,” creates its own category: the stoner protest film.The hookah saves the world.
