Franco Turns Down Free Drugs

Actor JAMES FRANCO is frequently offered drugs by fans who confuse him with his pot-smoking character in stoner comedy PINEAPPLE EXPRESS.

Franco and funnyman Seth Rogen play two drug-users on the run from gun-toting villains in the new film.

And though Rogen has admitted he is a regular drug user, Franco insists he stuns fans by refusing to smoke marijuana with them.

He says, "Already, I have had people come up to me in cafes and say, 'Hey, you're James Franco, right? Hey, I can't get a hold of my guy - do you know where I can buy some good weed?'

"Even in class (at UCLA) I've had someone come up to me and be, 'Hey! What's up, man?' and give me a handshake and palm me a little bag of weed.

"I haven't done drugs, I haven't even smoked pot, since high school."
