So apparently getting high in the White House (or at least saying that you did) is the new gold standard for celebrities who love weed.
Remember when Willie Nelson smoked up on the White House’s roof? He does — kind of.
Snoop Dogg maintains that he got stoned inside the White House — “in the bathroom,” he said.

And now we can add actor (and proud stoner) Seth Rogen to that list, according to a tweet he sent on Wednesday: “I gonna smoke weed in the White House ya’ll.”
I gonna smoke weed in the White House ya'll.

Rogen’s tweet was likely a nod to Tuesday’s election, which saw Washington D.C. voting to legalize its own grow-and-give recreational marijuana model. Other states that legalized it on Tuesday were Oregon and Alaska, which will soon join Colorado and Washington with legal recreational cannabis sales.
Snoop Dogg responded to Rogen’s tweet, of course, because that’s what Snoop Dogg does: “Been there done that.”
@sethrogen been there done that

And then Rogen sent back a doctored picture of he and Snoop Dogg getting ripped inside the Oval Office while President Barack Obama talked on the telephone: “Next time we make it a cross joint.”

When Rogen first announced his intention to get high in the White House, some of his followers got creative with their responses.
@Sethrogen In the highest office in the land!

@Sethrogen Indeed it was the late great Nate Dogg who recommended that you partake daily.

@Sethrogen Possessing weed still illegal on federal property, just FYI.

@Sethrogen you smoke weed?

@Sethrogen @shanedingman But do the laws say anything about Canadian comedians smoking weed at the White House.

@Sethrogen – I'm sure @willienelson has beat you to it, many times, but hey, enjoy!

.@Sethrogen Is James Franco still your dealer?
— Brenton King (@brentonkiing) November 5, 2014
Two potential problems here.
1. Remember when Rogen told the world that James Franco doesn’t get high? “I’ve never smoked weed with James Franco,” Rogen said, “because he doesn’t smoke weed.”
2. And since “federal lawmakers have the power to quash any District law they don’t like,” will legal marijuana last in Washington D.C.? Time will tell — and something tells me Rogen will be keeping an eye on Congress’ actions.
