No pot smoking with Seth Rogen in Denver for "The Interview"

No weed, plenty of tequila at ‘The Interview’ in Denver with Seth Rogen

After Seth Rogen tried in vain to throw a cannabis-friendly cinematic experience in Denver on Dec. 8 for a special screening of “The Interview,” Rogen and co-director Evan Goldberg were left roaming the crowd with a bottle of tequila, pouring shots into the mouths of anyone within arm’s length.

Seth Rogen in Denver: He wants to smoke weed in theater, but where?

Seth Rogen says he will screen his new film tonight in a Denver movie theater filled with marijuana smoke and hundreds of his fans. But will that actually happen? Rogen says yes, but the city of Denver’s executive director of marijuana policy says no.

Seth Rogen threatens to ‘smoke weed in the White House,’ Snoop responds

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 stoner-actor Seth Rogen says he’s going to get high in the White House.

Remember when alt-country hero Ryan Adams was tweeting The Cannabist about, among other things, writing for the site and Egyptian pyramids? We do. The Cannabist will soon announce its new guest columnist. Will it be Ryan Adams, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Maher, Chelsea Handler or somebody else? And for what it's worth, per Adams' above question, Cannabist editor Ricardo Baca (@bruvs on Twitter) did go inside the great pyramid - long live Slayer. (Twitter)

Obama’s real talk: Pot ‘shouldn’t be young people’s biggest priority’

President Barack Obama wants young Americans to reconsider their political priorities. In a new interview with Vice, Obama talked extensively on marijuana law reform — and the president had a strong reaction to the fact that the pot topic was the “number one question from everyone on the Internet,” as Vice founder Shane Smith said in the interview.
