James Franco says pot isn’t so bad
Pineapple Express heartthrob James Franco is opening up about playing a goofy marijuana dealer and how he feels about smoking pot.
“I don’t consider weed to be any worse than having a beer,” he told AOL’s Moviefone, adding that he first got stoned watching the film Dumb and Dumber.
Franco, 30, stars opposite Seth Rogan who, in the film, plays a stoner who witnesses a cop commit murder. The two characters spend the rest of the movie on the run from police.
Rogan, 26, says he related more to Franco’s character in Pineapple Express than he did to Katherine Heigl’s character in Knocked Up.
“I’ve never gotten a girl pregnant before, but I have had a weed dealer that I couldn’t get rid off.” he joked. Rogan also revealed that the film Friday with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker “made me want to get high,” and that the film’s title is actually named after a type of premium marijuana.
Ahh, the things you learn!

I know Franco graduated from UCLA, but he must have not have been pay attention to this coursework. Pot is actually worse than beer or any type of liquor. It gets into your bloodstream faster, and this is way to promote drugs to teenagers watching your movies.

I totally disagree, Idiot. How many people get crazy on pot and kill people in automobile wrecks or commit murder? Pretty much none. Do the research. Pot is DEFINITELY not worse than liquor or beer.

You can’t judge something that has a bad reputation for NO reason. Unless you’ve done it personally, there’s nothing you can say to be against it. I feel like drinking alcohol is worse.
