Seth Rogen says he stopped smoking weed for three days for a terrifying reason
Rogen explained that it was 'scary' for him
Seth Rogen shared the reason why he stopped smoking cannabis for three days, and it’s scary.
If you could pick a random Hollywood stoner’s name out of a hat, you’re sure as s*** looking at a high chance of getting Rogen.
His movies feature weed almost all the time, his days are spent with a bong and some good creative juices flowing and he’s the most chill guy ever, so you know the stuff is working for him.
He and Snoop Dogg even went out and gave some advice to newbie stoners about how to smoke properly.

By the way, before any Karen's get involved, we are not condoning drug use of any kind... but cannabis is popular, and people need to know how to do it right.
Speaking to Howard Stern in 2022, Rogen and Snoop were asked about getting high together, which is when Snoop said it's vital to pace yourself.
It’s some solid advice, there.
Anyway, despite his love for the stuff, Snoop took to Instagram to announce he has quit smoking weed and wrote: "After much consideration and conversation with my family, I've decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time."
Similarly, Rogen went on to take a short break from the devil’s lettuce because of one terrifying reason.
Appearing on the Howard Stern Show, the producer and actor detailed a moment where he had to give up smoking for three days.
“I was in Singapore once, you can’t smoke weed there.
“Other than that, I think in 2012- 2011, I was in Singapore for three days. So those days I didn’t smoke weed.”
But why didn’t he smoke weed there?
Well, their drug laws are very, very strict, and it could have landed him with more than a little jail time.
Rogen said: “Cause they’ll literally f****** kill you if you smoke weed in that country.”
“They put that little thing in your passport when you arrive, and it says ‘if we find drugs on you, we will execute you’.”
The comedian added: “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve flown places and then got there and opened a pocket or something and it’d be like, oh sh**, there’s a roach in my pocket.”
Calling it a ‘scary walkthrough at the airport in Singapore’, he shared that this was why he took the break from smoking it up.
By the way, if anyone was wondering who the other three people would be in that hat I talked about at the start of the video, it’s James Franco, Tommy Chong and Woody Harrelson.
Basically, Singapore’s approach to drug supply and those who are buying it has been very strict indeed, which has allowed the nation to remain relatively drug-free.
According to the Central Narcotics Bureau: “Our drug control policies are also underpinned by evidence and research. Cannabis is clearly addictive and harmful, and there is no scientific evidence of the safety and efficacy of raw cannabis use.
“This supports our position that cannabis should remain an illicit drug. Decriminalisation and legalisation of cannabis is not the way to go, especially when our drug situation is well under control.”
For possession or consumption of cannabis, you can expect to get up to 10 years of imprisonment, or a $20,000 fine, or both.
For illegal traffic, import or export of the drug, you might end up with the death penalty…
So, that’s scary.
