What were they smoking in place of the Marijuana?


I know they weren't actually smoking marijuana. So, what were they smoking?

reply

Wow your a very Up person *she said with great Sarcasum*

have you ever been to The United States or do you just watch the news and think you know how the Whole country is?? Just Wandering becaus your Opinions of the country are wrong.

yes a Few case's of a kid finding a gun and shoting people has happend but its happend in Other countrys too, and its Not easy to buy a gun.. yes Ciggerests are legal to people of a Certin Age (18 and over) as is Alcohol to persons 21 and over (Most countrys its 18)

the US dosnt bomb countrys for no reason, and not everyone is 'Christian' there is a huge variation in race, religion and everything

Yes alot of celebritys do drugs this is true most places, and its illegal most places.

The Topic of the Post the OP wanted had Nothing to do with anything mentioned here.. they asked what the film makers used insted of real weed.

They used fake rope weed stuff (probly the same things they used in Knocked Up).

PIPER!

Don't call weed a drug, it offends me. It has killed zero people on overdose.

reply

Of course it is a drug.
Sure, no reported signs of fatal overdosing, however behaviour while stoned has caused many problems for both the user and innocent victims in society.

Fatal car accidents for one, and i dare say a fair chunk of people suffering from mental illness can track their problems back to their marijuana usage.

Tired of hearing how 'safe' marijuana is when i have seen/experienced first hand the negative effects.

Thats not to say that i am anti-drugs, infact quite the opposite.
Just the old argument that weed is a natural plant, so it must be safe, is a bit naive.

Could argue heroin from opium poppies is natural too, or cocaine from coca leaves.

Poisonous plants and weeds on this planet are deadly, mother nature is not always so kind and gentle.


Anyway, i loved this movie. It had all bases covered for any pot smoking gamer to enjoy, that includes a nice set of DD's.

reply

The heroin and cocaine comparison is off. Poppy seeds and coca leaves, in their natural state, aren't damaging. Their compounds are altered to form those drugs so that is not an apples to oranges comparison. There is no alteration done to cannabis buds, grow it, pluck it, trim the leaves and smoke it.

Warning: Smoking Pot could lead to becoming the most decorated Olympian in US history, or President

If you get to categorize marijuana as a drug, then so are Cigarettes and Alcohol. Cigarettes have more chemicals and process crap in it than weed ever has. In fact, Cigarettes have bonafide pharmacy grade "drugs" and chemicals in them.

And yet, Cigs are not drugs....gee.

So yeah, might want to exercise some perspective on that one. And weed is "safe". The worst that can happen on it is that your lungs probably dont appreciate it (depending on how you ingest it) and it stimulates your appetite leading to extra snacking, but that's about it. And wow, that happens when you get drunk too, yes? Except in the case of alcohol the affects are often far worse, plus hangover.

So yeah, compare it to cocaine and opium if you will...but it can just as easily be lumped in with cigarettes and booze, if not moreso. In fact, from legal to illegal, if you stacked cigarettes, alcohol, opium, cocaine and weed all together, which do you think is the least harmful of all those? Hm? Spoiler alert, it's a green herb and it's legal in some states already...

reply

so alcohol, coffee and telephones are drugs to?

'because they harm people and society blablablablbal'

weed isnt a drug its a plant, a herb a medicine... ;)

America bashing from a loser Dutchman who spells them 'sigarettes.'

""its illegal to attack innocent country's and bomb innocent people and go to war.""

I can't believe all of us American citizens do this. I wasn't aware of that. I'll have to do some research in a library in Amsterdam to get my facts straight. Hopefully I'll have time in between "Worlds largest bud contest" or the "Cannabis Cup." Douche.

""and besides almostr all actors and musician do drugs ""

HAHA. What a F'ing moron. Get some facts before we almost smell your horrid Dutch breath through the computer as you spew BS from your mouth.

Who said we are all Christians & read the bible? Learn some facts (and how to spell) before you start talking shat, as if you know anything about anything at all. Another nine ball who thinks Amsterdam is a place people actually would like to live. Funniest shat I've read in a long time. The place is a f'ing DUMP! Whores and drugs are fun to visit and kick back and put up your legs and chill for a week or two. Then we get to laugh at what a stinky sh!thole it is the moment we leave and go to the airport back to the best country in the world and losers like you have to stay and sell weed out of coffee shops. Hilarious.

Not all Americans think weed should be illegal just like not all Dutch are as uneducated as you about America.

You must have gotten too many Dutch Ovens from your lover in bed over the years and lost yourself some important brain cells. What a complete, dumb, moronic, angry, stupid waste of space.

Go back to school and lay off the weed until you can handle it. Paranoid, f'ing freak of nature.

Cigar and a waffle?...

It isn't as much of a "mind expansion" as it is the drug taking effecting and causing the user to think so.

reply

If Amsterdam is a dump, why go visit it in the first place? And if America is the greatest country in the world, why do you feel the need to leave and visit other places?

Don't hate on other cultures when you obviously don't know *beep* about them. Amsterdam is far more than weed and prostitutes, you just chose to visit that aspect. So what does that say about you?

Oh and some of the world's happiest people live in Amsterdam and the Netherlands, statistically people are a lot happier there than in America.

Oh and I am not from the Netherlands, but I am also not a brainwashed American who expects everyone to bow in their presence.

reply

....ever heard of a little movie called KIDS?.....they actually smoked real marijuana on camera.

reply

[deleted]

There's tons of different ways to fake buds, both smoking it and large amounts.

And yeah, two reasons you cant smoke on camera.

One, it's illegal, and everyone representing the actor will fill their pants and get in trouble.

Two, movies aren't shot linear. They may be smoking one scene, then shooting an emotional closeup the next. You wouldn't want to be cooked trying to do a serious scene.

On the commentary, Allen Covert describes it as "fake rope weed" which probably means something like pot without the THC.





"I'm gonna get nice and drunk; play some video games until my eyes bleed."

reply

actually they where smoking real weed, cuz Nick Swardson said on his Last Comedy Stand Up that Dante use real weed.
It wasnt on tv that Nick said it, it was on the DVD extended one.
They where most likely smoking stress, if they can function that well.
By now you have, realized you just wasted time reading my signature.

reply

Just saw this movie and watched the commentary. It stated that they were smoking rope, and that it sucked ass as they put it. Pretty sure they'd never allow actors to smoke pot on set or while filming. However after a shoot is done who knows?

reply

with the exception of a select few, the rest of you give potheads and Americans a bad name... it's a movie, who cares what they were smoking?

reply

Unless the movie is an indie like easy rider, on which Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda confessed to be smoking actually weed on the campfire scene.

reply

This is the biggest group of squares I've ever seen. When's the last time any of you have left your parent's basement?

Seriously... go out there and get in a little trouble. Do some things you aren't supposed to do. Life's too short to theorize about whether or not they were "actually" smoking pot on the set of "Grandma's Boy".

reply

And yet here you are on this thread board, replying just like everyone of us, how much of a moron you have to be to miss the irony while you were writing your "witty" reply. I bet you thought you would come off like a complete bad ass with that statement too.. LMAO.

reply

I like to think that a select few smoked weed on set.

Respect Cannabis!

reply

99% of the time it's a mix of natural legal herbs. Usually with a small amount of tobacco as well...
