The Pineapple Express actor explained: "It's just a tool we use to make our experience more palatable, and some people need those tools a lot more than others."
He added: "For me, it's like shoes. For you, it might be like sunglasses. Not everyone's the same. If someone doesn't need to smoke weed? Great. It's the same as someone telling me they don't wear glasses.
"Mazel tov! You don't wear glasses. I do!"

Mark added: "He was really smart and could take things teachers said and twist them against them, making the class laugh at them and embarrassing them."
Sandy added that Seth would "make some teachers cry - but one of his favourite teachers used to tell us she had to send him out of the classroom because he was making her laugh so hard."
