Seth Rogen has revealed that he's smoked weed "all day every day" for 25 years straight, claiming it's much better than drinking alcohol.

Appearing on British chat show Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, 25 May, Rogen told host Susanna Reid that he smokes cannabis to simply "function".

After being asked whether or not he smokes it every day, the actor replied: "I do, I smoke cannabis all day every day."

"I have for the last 25 years or so I would say. It's something that is intrinsic to my day-to-day functionality," he added.

Rogen, who recently kickstarted his own cannabis company, Houseplant, went on to explain why he believes alcohol is worse for you than weed is.

Speaking from his LA home before 7 AM, he said: "I personally think alcohol - and I know this is the last thing British people want to hear - but on the grand scale of things we put in our bodies to intoxicate ourselves or remove ourselves from our normal baseline of functionality, alcohol is not a good one.

"It's high in calories, it gives you a hangover. There are other things we can be putting in our bodies that have less calories and don't make you feel bad the next day, but they are much more stigmatized than alcohol."

He added: "The idea that people who smoke weed are lazy or that if you smoke weed all day you're problematic or there's something wrong with you is just not true and it's mostly based on racist lies told by people many years ago that we still, unfortunately, believe for the most part."

Rogen recently opened up about having once felt "uncomfortable" admitting that he doesn't want kids.

Speaking on The Howard Stern Show, Rogen and his wife Lauren Miller, 38, said that they are "psyched" not to have kids.

He told Stern: "I wouldn't be able to do all this work that I like. It's something I think I was uncomfortable answering before. But [people] were like, 'How do you do so much?' and, like, the answer is I don't have kids."

When Stern asked the Superbad star if it would be a "deal-breaker" if Miller had wanted to have a baby, Rogen said it wouldn't have been, adding that he would be able to "wrap my head around it, but she's just like, 'no', which is great."

He continued: "We have so much fun. I don't know anyone who gets as much happiness out of their kids as we get out of our non-kids."

He went on: "We're f***ing psyched all the time. We're lying in bed Saturday morning, smoking weed, watching movies naked. If we had kids we could not be f***ing doing this.

"There is no one whose child is giving them as much joy as we are right now getting because we don't have a kid."
