Singapore’s draconian drug laws were the only thing that could stop Seth Rogen from toking for a few days.
The famous stoner talked about one particular time he had to park his cannabis habit when asked if it was true that he gets “high every single f***ing day” during an appearance on “The Howard Stern Show” Wednesday.
While the “Pineapple Express” actor said Stern’s intel was mostly accurate, he told the shock jock, “I think in 2012, 2011, I was in Singapore for three days so those days I didn’t smoke weed because they will literally fucking kill you if you smoke in that country.”
Then with a laugh he said, “They put a little thing in your passport when you arrive that says ‘If we find drugs on you we will execute you.’”
The use of cannabis, recreational or otherwise, is completely illegal in Singapore.
Being found with weed can result in imprisonment and fines for the average user, but people guilty of trafficking, importing or exporting the substance can face the death penalty, according to the Central Narcotics Bureau of Singapore.
When Stern suggested that Singapore’s hyper-strict laws would be a “good deterrent” for the chronic cannabis user, Rogen joked that, “If you ever have a drug problem, go to Singapore.”
The actor, who currently stars in the entertainment industry satire “The Studio,” talked about his relationship with THC during a recent interview with The Guardian.
“I’m not physically gifted in many ways, but there’s one way in which I am, which is my ability to process weed,” he told the outlet. “And to me it’s a very therapeutic part of my day-to-day journey, which I don’t even question or think about anymore, honestly.”
