Weed in movies

[crudemood]

i've always been curious, ive watched alot of movies and always wondered this. in movies they obviously dont use real weed but there is stuff that looks alot like it

do you suppose its the legal bud they use? what is that stuff?

[orangeman]

I dont know but in some movies it doesnt even look like weed. Like in Half Baked that shit was literal grass (or atleast it looked like it). Only time I seen weed that looked real on t.v. was that weed on the show Weeds. And that weed could've been from a hemp plant that has no psychoactive chemicals in it at all anyways lol.

[Professor Dan K.]

watch grandma's boy then, that was a funny ass movie.

[DannyMan]

Man.. everytime I see people smoking weed in movies I always look at their expression and behaviors to see if they're actually getting something out of it, hahaha. I know they're actors.. but you can tell right away when someone is getting ripped progressively!

I just always wondered if there was a few badass actors that actually brought real J's on the set during a shooting, now that'd be some cool shit!

Puff, Puff, Pass with Danny Masterdon, bro.

Great movie.

[OniEhtRedrum781]

I saw an interview somewhere with the cast of Grandma's Boy talking about the fake weed they smoked in the movie and they were all pissed cuz it tasted like shit..

lol, that weed in Half Baked looked like the schwaggiest of the schwag

I've also been wondering this for ages, i've come to the conclusion that Trailer Park Boys DOES use real weed, it looks exactly like it, they grind it up, and smoke it. And then they have the issue with the feilds of weed. Like, yeah, they could all be plastic, BUT in one episode ricky took a blow torch to em so they must be real otherwise he would have smoked plastic.

Cheech and Chong called it "Stunt weed".
I am willing to bet you that sometimes it is easier to use the real McKoy they can take off of any one of the crew and tell them it was stunt weed.
I have friends that work in the studios and they are stone cold stoners with weed stories from work that blow my mind.
I was watching MAD TV repeats on Comedy Central and they did a skit about weed and the stash looked all too real to me.

The plants in Weeds are fake, made of silk and wood. They are made by a lady in Massachusetts; who normally sell's them to police (for training proposes) The show bought so many, it wiped out her inventory.

Its probably Oregano, man that stuff looks like green.

[Melton420]

Yes Puff Puff Pass was a great movie!

[Melton420]

..... Its Complex!

I wouldn't imagine it being too hard to come across fake weed, especially if you are in the movie buisness. Its just another prop.

Mitch Hedburg told a joke, he said he once smoked fake pot in a movie with some guy. Then he said "Don't buy pot from movie sets" only it was funny when he said it.

Most of the time you don't even see the 'weed' up close though, so I wouldn't imagine it being too hard. A lot of things can look like weed from a far enough distance. Just get a bag of oregano, and if you don't want shake, take some wax and shape buds, try it sometime, it can look somewhat convincing.

half bajed is a graet movie:D

[DazedandConfused]

I wouldnt be surprised if every once ina while in cheech n chong they were smoke real j's. they were real stoners man

they could of easily got away with it. i think the way to do it is to make it so obviouse that everyone thinks they wouldnt be that stupid to smoke weed in front of the camera and that it cant possibly be weed

[suhl]

they call the stuff stunt weed that is used in weeds too and it looks real. although the guy that plays andy looks to get ripped whenever they smoke. if they dont do it it has to be due to some kind of added legal issue(other than just posessing and smoking it) otherwise theyd probably ust use real weed

[make it legal]

I heard there is only one movie in history that used real weed. I forget what it is thiugh.

[NightProwler]

i think its possible that they would use real weed, and then when they put it out in public, they just tell the athoritys it was just some grass or something

then again it could just be the plant the legal budz grow from.







BAM.

[chisme]

oh yeah in how high i u go to the extra features redman take the camera man in the back and shows him "something" wraped up in foil.... but he doesnt actualy show it........either really smart or really dumb

[Nausicaa]

I imagine they just use stuff like the "smoke bud legally" ads that are plastered all over this and every other cannabis site on the net. Doug's character from Weeds was talking about it in one of the podcasts. He claims he's never been high...

Andy from Weeds obviously smokes in real life. He just nails everything about it.

[Oneironaut]

What about that one Cheech and Chong movie where they go to Amsterdam? They definitely had to be smoking real buds in that one.

BAM.

Nah it WAS a weed plant. Hang on, i'll try to find the link.

Ok, i cant find the blow torch bit cos there's too many vids to go through, but eventually you'll see it if you watch all the shows.

Alot of theories on here. This one makes the most sense to me.
Alot of the times I really think its real weed when all the stoner symptoms are there, red eye the most though.

Mystery solved!
