The Truth Behind Pineapple Express

Ever wonder whether or not Pineapple Express is a type of weed? Well, in the movie we’re all told that it is a super rare bud that comes from the Hawaiian islands and has landed in California. Only one super crazy dealer has the stuff so panic ensues when they trace it back to a peddler that can pinpoint a guy who shot a cop.

Well, Pineapple Express does exist, but it’s nothing like you thought. It’s the name of a specific type of storm. That’s right. No Ganja involved. It’s the name of a storm when things get crazy on the west coast of California.’

Hey Buddy!

Hey Buddy!

Pineapple Express (also known as Pineapple Connection) is a non-technical, shorthand term popular in the news media for a meteorological phenomenon which is characterized by a strong and persistent flow of atmospheric moisture and associated heavy rainfall from the waters adjacent to the Hawaiian Islands and extending to any location along the Pacific coast of North America.

Bet you didn’t see that coming right? Well at least they referenced the actual term when talking about the bud. Here at Phi we educate you too! ;)

How bad did that make you want to see the movie? Well here’s a refresher to hold you over:

SUPERTROOPERS….LITTERING AND…….

supertroopers

Released in 2001, SuperTroopers wasn’t necessarily regarded as a stoner movie, but we can tell you from experience it is certainly a lot more funny when you’re stoned and really captured some of the paranoia that we all feel sometimes when smoking in a very humorous way.

When the SuperTroopers pull over three teenagers who’ve been smoking some phatties while on a road trip, things take a hysterical turn for the viewer, but turn into a horrifyingly bad trip for our 3 stoner friends.  Things get increasingly worse for these buds as the cops do a great job of scaring the crap of them, forcing them to promise the will never do drugs again.  Now, please “PHI” one up and enjoy this classic scene!!!
