Weeds Cast Smokes Fake Marijuana | Hollyscoop
Actress Elizabeth Perkins, who stars in Showtime’s hit TV show ‘Weeds’ insists that the cast only smoke fake marijuana, but when asked about the real stuff–she’s all for it!
Perkins says the producers of the show supply them with fake weed that doesn’t actually get you stoned.
She says, “It’s a combination of herbs that don’t get you stoned. If we smoked real weed, we wouldn’t get anything done over here.”
But Perkins insists the real drug is harmless. She added, “I think it is crazy that it is illegal, and I think it is crazy that people are in jail once they get busted with small amounts of marijuana. I just don’t see it as that dangerous of a narcotic.”
Yeah, but if it wasn’t illegal, you wouldn’t have a job on the stoniest show on cable!

I am the producer of The NORML Network, the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog, and NORML's Outreach Coordinator. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" and I travel across the country to educate people on marijuana reform. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to give voice to the Marijuana Nation and to speak for those who can't speak up.
It is pretty ridiculous though, how people are thrown into jail for a small amount. Jails are overcrowded as it is.
This might be slightly off subject, but I have found some tiny weeds that resemble Marijuana, EXACTLY. I mean, they look EXACTLY like weed. Not lupine, not Japanese maple, not cleome, not Jatropha multifida, not false Aralia, not Texas Star Hibiscus, not Kenaf, not Tagetes minuta, not stinging nettle, not catnip, not Potentilla pulcherrima, sooo… What the Hell is this stuff.
