Seth Rogen has only stopped smoking weed for 3 days in past 14 years due to seriously dark reason
As nearly everyone knows, Seth Rogen genuinely adores cannabis. He has consumed marijuana joints daily since his early twenties, stating that it renders life "more comfortable, more palatable and easier to process." Few dispute this logic. However, Singapore authorities apparently do - Rogen disclosed that a brief visit to this nation forced him to abandon his daily routine for approximately 72 hours. This represents significant news for someone who typically allows nothing to separate him from his cannabis - not even his substantial responsibilities writing, directing, executive producing and starring in his new AppleTV+ show "The Studio."
He recently informed LADbible Group that he maintains a "little stoned all the time" state, a practice he has followed for twenty years - making those three cannabis-free days distinctly memorable.
During a conversation on "The Howard Stern Show," he revealed Singapore stands as the single location where he could not enjoy cannabis.
Explaining his reluctance to take chances during his 2011 journey to the Southeast Asian nation, Rogen stated: "They will literally f***king kill you if you smoke weed in that country. They put a little thing in your passport when you arrive, that says: 'If we find drugs on you, we will execute you'."
Singapore enforces extremely strict drug regulations, which include cannabis, as consumption remains prohibited both recreationally and medically. Possession or use carries possible penalties of ten years in jail, substantial financial penalties, and potentially caning. Individuals caught moving, bringing in or shipping out cannabis may face capital punishment.
This explains Rogen's caution, though he admitted occasionally traveling with cannabis items accidentally. The "Pineapple Express" actor added: "I can't tell you how many times I've flown places and then got there and opened a pocket or something and be like, 'Oh sh*t, there's a f***king roach in my pocket!' So that was a scary walk through the airport in Singapore."
Stern noted that execution threats serve as an effective deterrent against drug use, to which Rogen responded: "Getting killed is a good deterrent. If you ever have a drug problem, go to Singapore."
When questioned about experiencing "withdrawals" during his cannabis-free period, the actor said he managed well, mentioning he had other legal recreational options available. "I was okay," Rogen confirmed.
"There's plenty of other things to get f**ked up. Luckily you can just drink yourself into oblivion in Singapore. They don't give a sht about that!"
Rogen noted that Singapore offers numerous alternative intoxication options. He mentioned alcohol consumption as a perfectly acceptable substitute, pointing out that Singaporean authorities show no concern about people drinking excessively in their country.
The actor's rare cannabis break stands out as an unusual interruption in his otherwise consistent marijuana usage pattern. While he willingly paused his habit to comply with Singapore's severe drug laws, he clearly found other legal ways to enjoy himself during his visit.
This singular exception to Rogen's cannabis routine highlights the extreme contrast between Singapore's strict drug enforcement and the actor's typical lifestyle. Despite his strong preference for marijuana, Rogen demonstrated his ability to temporarily adapt when faced with truly serious consequences, choosing personal safety over his usual habits during his three-day stay in the country.
