The Avengers Should be Watched Under the Influence, Says Samuel L. Jackson

Pretty much this entire article should be marked with a language and content warning, but we'll clean up the dirty words, leaving you only with a beloved actor encouraging drug use.

During an interview with Reelz to promote next week's film adaptation of The Avengers, star Samuel L. Jackson appeared to get a little loopy during the conversation and derailed the whole chat, accusing the interviewer of having Marvel-provided marijuana in his bag. The joke went on for a couple of minutes, with Jackson explaining that the Marvel strain of the drug is called Hulk, and suggesting that the Incredible Hulk actually got his powers by eating irradiated marijuana, and not in the way the comics depict it. In case there was anyone left at Walt Disney Studios who weren't starting to worry about the way the interview was going, Jackson then recommended that fans find some of the Marvel pot and smoke it prior to enjoying the movie. "I'm just gonna say it straight out," Jackson said in the interview, the video of which you can see below. "You should The Avengers after smoking one great big bud of Hulk. Because this movie is a mother----er!" He did cover himself, we suppose, by telling fans that they should "go out and get their prescription" for the drug, so it would presumably be difficult to prove that he was encouraging illegal behavior.
