You Can Spend a Night Getting High With Seth Rogen

The Houseplant cofounder is hosting a midcentury Airbnb decked out with chic weed-focused decor and handmade pottery

With the advent of his cannabis home goods brand, Seth Rogen has firmly centered himself in the Venn diagram of stoners and design aficionados. Now, the Houseplant cofounder is inviting like-minded individuals to join him in his favorite setting: a creative oasis outfitted with thoughtfully designed home decor catered to weed smokers, chic midcentury furniture, and of course, a pottery wheel. In a partnership with Airbnb, Houseplant will offer three separate overnight bookings at the house in question: a low-slung Los Angeles bungalow lined with floor-to-ceiling glass and wood paneling. Rogen himself will make an appearance each evening, offering up some ceramics lessons and insight into the creative processes behind his brand.

“If you’re someone who smokes weed, you can expect to find a place that is maybe one of the few places you have ever been in that is truly set up for you and your sensibilities,” Rogen says of the stylish space, which is decked out with a full fleet of Houseplant products, including their ’60s-inspired standing ashtray, the tabletop “car lighter” that’s made out of a block of marble, and the trademark gloopy ashtray personally designed by Rogen.

Each booking accommodates two guests, who will spend their chilled-out getaway surrounded by Houseplant wares, a fridge stocked with munchies, and shelves decorated with Rogen’s handmade pottery. “We wanted to really personalize it as much as possible,” he explains. “The record player in the house is literally my record player from my office.” Alongside it, guests will have access to a selection of Houseplant’s vinyl playlists, including the yet-to-be-released second volume of their LP box set: three records, each specifically designed to go with sativa, indica, or hybrid cannabis strains. “It reminds me of making mix tapes for my friends when I was a kid, which was also one of my favorite things to do,” Rogen says, hinting that the new playlists are filled with “a lot of funk and soul music.”

The idea to host guests in an Airbnb was partially borne out of the response that Rogen got from the AD tour of the similarly styled home that serves as a base for Houseplant. Friends and fans alike wanted to hang out in the space after seeing the video tour. “And that was really where it started: It would be cool to give people an opportunity to spend time in an idealized setting for what it is that we are trying to do from a product standpoint,” he says. “And the fact that it is all kind of born of weed, that’s something that I hope people get an emotional impact from,” Rogen concludes earnestly. “Walking into an environment that’s really set up and reveres what it is that you do and that you love–for me it’s very validating and gratifying and it removes a lot of the stigmas that a lot of people who smoke weed have probably gone through their lives dealing with.”

The exclusive listing for the $42 one-night stays, taking place on February 15, 16, and 17, opens for booking on Airbnb on February 7 at 10 a.m. PT. Worth noting: Airbnb tells us that guests are not allowed to smoke within the home, and no cannabis-based products will be made available or provided to the guests during the stays.
