What Does "Weeds" Use For It's Fake Pot and Cocaine?

nydailynews.com — Ever wonder what movie actors are really smoking and snorting when they do a line of coke or lift a joint to their lips? Though the fakes are legal and don't provide a high, sometimes they can make the actors feel a little buzzed.

  • Astark, on 07/02/2009, -1/+155Yeah, so you spend 8 grueling hours doing 10 takes of a scene of you smoking fake pot and snorting fake coke, then you go back to your trailer and unwind... With a little pot and coke.
  • inactive, on 07/02/2009, -3/+153i like how the fake weed is probably more harmful than actual weed
  • nahsrocketeer75, on 07/02/2009, -1/+122That's their story and they're sticking to it.
  • inactive, on 07/02/2009, -12/+116Its*

    For the love of God
  • IgorUnchained, on 07/02/2009, -1/+87 I got to be in a movie. I had a small scene in a movie but I got to act with Peter Frampton, he was in the movie. And we had to smoke pot for our scene but it was fake pot. Do not buy pot at a movie set. But I got to smoke fake pot with Peter Frampton. That's a cool story. It's as cool as smoking real pot with a guy who looks like Peter Frampton. I've done that way more.

  • Mittens27, on 07/02/2009, -3/+60We were once filming a movie for film class and we were doing a scene where we were snorting cocaine, all we had on hand was flour. So, we blew out our nose instead of inhaling. Apparently, it looked so real that someone came over and joking snorted the flour. Their eyes turned red and watery and they started screaming, nose bleeding. It was pretty funny.
  • inactive, on 07/02/2009, -0/+52Dugg for correct use of both their and they're in the same sentence, a rarity.
  • smashblu, on 07/02/2009, -1/+40I know a guy who talks to people like that. He's a real douche bag and has no friends.
  • amcnair, on 07/02/2009, -0/+35In the movie "Homegrown" they made detailed silk replicas of real marijuana plants. Apparently they looked real enough that locals kept stealing them off the sets after hours.
  • cheddaro, on 07/02/2009, -7/+38I like how burning anything and inhaling the smoke is pretty bad for you, regardless of what it is.
  • webcrumb, on 07/02/2009, -0/+27Ah, internal bleeding. That old classic standup routine.

    As an aside, some of my friends once tried snorting sherbet. They foamed at the nose.
  • treas, on 07/02/2009, -1/+28inhaling combusted matter is always bad for you, some things are just worse for you when combusted.
  • bradleyland, on 07/02/2009, -2/+28I have to wonder if you speak to people like this in person.
  • appleofdischord, on 07/02/2009, -25/+51"Its" not "it's", you *****.

    Also, you capitalized "for" but not "and". If you're not going to follow the rules, at least be consistent about it.
  • GeyserShitdick, on 07/02/2009, -1/+24um
  • p51d007, on 07/02/2009, -2/+23We had a guy at work quit because he failed a pee test. Popped positive for mary jane. Personally, I could care less, but since we have to drive company vehicles in the course of work, I can see where, being a lawsuit happy company, they would want to make sure everyone was "clean". He came back to the shop, before he left and said "you know, life's too short...to stop smoking weed. We had a good laugh, and I cranked up photoshop for 20 minutes.

  • InfamousAtheist, on 07/02/2009, -0/+16I love the quote from the editor at hollywood.com "These are things that can be irritating to the nose, but I’ve heard that real coke is irritating, too.”

    He's "heard." Ha ha, yeah, I heard that too!
  • IllBeBack, on 07/02/2009, -0/+15I would like to stash MY weed inside her panties.
  • ExoticKosher, on 07/03/2009, -0/+15I miss Mitch...

  • endigger2, on 07/02/2009, -4/+18Officer, I swear it's oregano!
  • Shazbuckle, on 07/02/2009, -0/+13I vaporize my weed.

    More THC, less tar.
  • Tyrghast, on 07/02/2009, -2/+14[on Wizard Weed] "You can roll it into joints and put it into bags,” Butcher says. “And it definitely doesn’t get you high.”

    He sounds a little disappointed at that
  • Reveillark, on 07/02/2009, -0/+12Chill, Winston
  • Yage2006, on 07/02/2009, -0/+11Why don't you go back to watching little house on the prairie then *****.
  • LucasPorto, on 07/02/2009, -0/+10Instead of real pot and cocaine we use real pot and cocaine
  • lucidgoo, on 07/02/2009, -1/+11that is absolutely hilarious! X-D
  • Enhor, on 07/02/2009, -1/+11There has been some cases where actors really smoked weed during a shooting. The only I one coming to my mind right now is Evil Dead, but the scene was later re-shot because of the actors "uncontrollable behavior".
    I guess I must have happened in other small budget movies.
  • rusnak167, on 07/02/2009, -0/+10They should use dried mint leave and crushed altoids as substitutes.
    Feel the Burn
  • MMusick, on 07/02/2009, -2/+12The worst was the fake plants in 'Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.'
  • paperclipsNsoup, on 07/02/2009, -1/+11Don't get me wrong. I LOVE pot.

    But smoke is bad to inhale. Period.

    Granted, there may be chemicals that are good or neutral in the smoke, but the smoke tar builds up on your lungs and can cause COPD, or emphysema. The hot smoke can cause throat and lung irritation, which can make you more prone to bronchitis, and pneumonia increasing your chances of infection and even slightly increasing your chances of throat or lung cancer. There are better ways to get those chemicals in you than smoking, such as baking.

    Me, I don't care, I'll smoke it all day and night... Then have brownies and milk. And I always make my brownies with the special ingredient.





    Love
  • Barackalypse, on 07/02/2009, -1/+11OR, you could just cast Gary Busey and he'll take care of supplying the "fake" cocaine for shooting.
  • charlie6969, on 07/02/2009, -0/+9Great pic!
  • eink21, on 07/03/2009, -1/+10When I'm reading a comment/blog post/whatever and I see that the person doesn't know the difference between its/it's, of/have, or your/you're, I immediately place zero value on anything they have to say.

    People - listen to the "grammar nazis" ... stop sounding like third graders unless you want a whole group of people (read: educated people) to instantly label you as retarded.
  • Rivetgeek, on 07/02/2009, -1/+10Well, the one above mine does at least.
  • funkboy27, on 07/02/2009, -4/+13I did a scene from the play Hurly Burly when I was in acting school, and I never really found my character until I decided to add snorting coke to it. My character does several lines after just waking up while talking to his buddy. I decided to use Powdered sugar after hearing that's what they use in movies, and man.. I may not have gotten high from it, but talk about a sugar rush! lol

    I remember talking to someone from the audience afterwards and they told me they were thinking "Is he really snorting that??" I guess I didn't have to actually do snort it, but hey.. it was part of the journey :P
  • paperclipsNsoup, on 07/02/2009, -1/+9The IT manager at my work used to do that after a beer or two.

    Then I told him to shut the hell up.

    He stopped doing it in person, but he still loves correcting emails.
  • appleofdischord, on 07/02/2009, -0/+8I was just feeling uncharacteristically belligerent.
  • zomgwaffles, on 07/02/2009, -1/+7"According to them, it gets them higher than regular marijuana,”

    BILLY MAYS HERE AND I CALL *****!!!
  • WhiteHatTrick, on 07/03/2009, -0/+6I once read an interview with the dude whos the "fake pot guy" for the show weeds (best job ever?) and he said that he occasionally snuck a few real buds into some scenes. And I have to agree with lock stock. Otherwise its a great film though.
  • gbv23, on 07/02/2009, -1/+7Maybe they film in one of the 13 states where cannabis is somewhat "legal" (with a doctor's note)

    /norml-bot
  • Governator88, on 07/02/2009, -0/+5+1 Pacino
  • inactive, on 07/02/2009, -2/+7I like how what the ***** are we talking about?
  • charlie6969, on 07/02/2009, -0/+5This article is just sad.

    Frankly, it is sad that tobacco is perfectly legal and marijuana is still Illegal.
    (Not condoning taking anyone's smokes.lol Just should be a personal choice; not illegal.)

    But, there ya go...
  • IMustBeEmo, on 07/03/2009, -0/+4Not always; appleofdischord's use of quotes is correct.
  • Philbert, on 07/02/2009, -0/+4They don't say what they actually use for the fake live plants, just that they're expensive.
