Which 2008 comedy had the tagline "Put this in your pipe and smoke it"?

The story behind the answer

Which 2008 comedy had the tagline “Put this in your pipe and smoke it”? The answer is Pineapple Express.

Released in 2008, Pineapple Express is an action comedy directed by David Gordon Green and written by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Judd Apatow. It stars Seth Rogen as process server Dale Denton and James Franco as his marijuana dealer, Saul Silver. The tagline appeared in the film’s promotional materials and plays directly on the story’s cannabis theme.

The plot begins when Dale witnesses a corrupt police officer and a drug lord committing murder. He leaves behind a rare marijuana strain called Pineapple Express, then goes on the run with Saul after realizing the criminals may be able to identify him. The movie combines stoner-comedy conventions with buddy-film, crime, and action elements.

A common mix-up is confusing the title with the film’s fictional cannabis strain: Pineapple Express is both the movie’s name and the strain central to the story. It is also sometimes described simply as a stoner comedy, though its plot includes substantial action and crime-thriller elements.
