In his Playboy interview, Top CelebStoner Seth Rogen reveals he was once arrested for marijuana in Los Angeles, Adam Sandler is his hero, Pineapple Express sidekick James Franco doesn't smoke weed and MTV is "nightmare" to deal with and "insanely stupid."

Here are the highlights:

The Pot Arrest
"When I first came to L.A. I got caught smoking weed on a beach in Malibu and had to go to court. It was the craziest thing ever. I was thinking, We’re in Los Angeles. There are probably 400 people getting murdered at this second, and these two cops are taking an hour to write up my court summons for smoking a joint on the beach. That just seemed so fucking ridiculous to me."

Adam Sandler
"He is just one of those comics every guy my age loved when we were growing up. Whenever one of his movies came out, we felt as if it belonged to us. We went to to see Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison, and we were like, Ah, this guy is making movies for us. We're his audience."

James Franco
"James Franco doesn't even smoke weed. I hope I haven't ruined it for anybody. Franco and I have never smoked weed together. We always marvel at that."

The MTV Movie Awards Controversy
"MTV is insanely stupid. They knew well in advance what we were going to do. We sent them a script a week earlier. When they cut away in the middle of our bit, it made it seem like it was a much bigger deal than it actually was, and it effectively ruined out joke... I'm not offended as a pot smoker; I'm offended as a comedian...

"I think they were being hypocritical. The have shows like The Real World, which is all about drinking and fucking. If that's their idea of entertainment, then our goofy little joke about smoking a fake joint should be harmless. They're documenting the lives of promiscuous young people without any of the repercussions. Not that I care. I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed to show that. I'm just saying if that's your idea of acceptable behavior, don't give us a hard time about one stupid joint...

"MTV has always fucked us. It was nightmare doing interviews with them for Pineapple Express. We were on TRL, which thank God is over. I never have to go on that fucking show again... It wasn't even live. It was all a big lie. It was painful because Franco and I went on to promote Pineapple Express and the producers told us, 'Okay, you can't mention weed at all.' That just stunned me. The movie's about weed!. How would we even describe it? Why are we here if we can't talk about weed? That's just so silly and absurd to me. It's like bringing on the cast of the Transformers and telling them, 'You can't talk about robots'."

pineapple express should've won all the awards it was nominated for. seriously, that movie was just pure genius. i love it! and i started loving both james and seth after seeing it.

and i have to say; seth said all that he intended very well in this interview. he and james have to deal with so much shit for the whole weed "controversy". they're both so amazing they should be able to do whatever the fuck they want. ha.

I think Rogen nails it on this, I'm not a smoker but the laws and social taboos are just crazy.

The Opium Den, my new internet talk show, premiers April 9th at 9PM Eastern.

The program will address the pleasures of getting high, and the pitfalls, which are almost universally getting caught in possession.

If you are tired of all the bullshit propaganda about drugs and want to help strike a blow against prohibition, then please tune in and help spread the word.

And if Seth Rogen or his publicist read this, I'd love to have Seth be my guest and do a live interview on the joys of getting high.

Pineapple Express is amazing. It is a good movie on its own, but then, you watch it high, and your chest hurts cause you never have laughed so hard. Then, even when you watch it sober, cause you're with those friends, yes the ones with the curfew from their mom and the bruises from their alchoholic dad, (so I'm not gonna even take anything that distorts me cause I don't wanna be like him, boo hoo, who's dad isn't alchoholic, you just gotta drink and smoke to forget that shit, you won't become like him, you have the internet) and while you are sober watching the film you are laughing much harder then your other friends because after watching PE high once, every time feels so much better. Every moment of Seth Rogan is brilliant. Like, I think, I should hang out with him. Me and him would get along so well, because, if worst comes to worst and he is all like, whats up, and I'm all giggles cause I am talking to Seth Rogan, we can be like, smoke weed, and then everything is fine, except when you get arrested, that sucked, but, fuck it, I'll go to court, get my fines or whatnot, and then, go crazy, summer 09, fuck yes.
I feel like Jesus Hitler was in worst taste then it seemed when I typed it at 3am. Also, idk if that is a website. Lastly, this was not about idioms.
