Is pineapple express real

Answer 1

The Marijuana used in the movie Pineapple Express contained synthetic Tetrahydrocannabinol. (better known as THC, the active ingredient in marijuana that gets you high) So to answer your question, the weed did get them "high" or "stoned", whatever you may call it, however the weed was not of an illegal variation.

Synthetic Tetrahydrocannabinol serves the purpose of trying to best mimic the effects you receive from marijuana as possible, without using the actual active ingredients in marijuana.

Answer 2

The name "Pineapple Express" was given to the weed in the movie specifically because it sounds like a real strain, but is not. Pineapple is a real weed, and I believe there is another strain called _____ express, so the two names were combined to come up with this.

Someone might try to tell you that their weed is Pineapple Express, but this is likely some other random weed that they renamed because of the fame of the movie. This is also true of the strain of weed known as "The Dark Knight": There is no single type of weed called TDK, but rather there are at least five different strains that some people started calling TDK after the movie came out.
