The cast of Weeds does not, as fans and James Franco might've hoped, smoke real weed during scenes where characters are filmed smoking weed. Says castmember Elizabeth Perkins: "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 while she's on the subject: "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."
