Though the fakes are legal and don’t provide a high, sometimes they can make the actors feel a little buzzed. On Showtime's "Weeds," for instance, where potheads Doug and Andy are often lighting up, the herbal tobacco makes them feel a little lightheaded, says "Weeds" executive producer Roberto Benabib.

“According to them, it gets them higher than regular marijuana,” he says. “They end up smoking so much of it they get very lightheaded, and they don’t like it. Sometimes they do take after take, and you will see them getting woozy because it has a strange effect on them. But it’s totally legal, and it is what we are supposed to use.”
