Seth Rogen’s new cannabis business is budding and blooming!
The 38-year-old comedian, actor and director recently launched a cannabis lifestyle brand with his business partner, Evan Goldberg, which launched in the U.S. on Thursday. Not long after the launch, the site crashed due to high demand.
“Hi!! We are experiencing a tremendous amount of traffic right now. Thank you!” Rogen tweeted on Thursday morning, marking the early success of the brand. “We have a nice little waiting room set up on the website to manage this. If you are having trouble accessing the waiting room, please try refreshing your browser or clearing your cache. Thank you yay!!”
In a follow-up tweet, he assured fans there was “another way to get” sold-out items via the site, but offered no additional details.
Well… we have underestimated you once again. Due to insane traffic we took the Houseplant site down temporarily while I learn to write code. I’m very sorry if you’ve been waiting. There’s still a lot of products available! I will let you know as soon as it’s up again.

It seems the “tremendous amount of traffic” became too much to handle, as the “Pineapple Express” writer/actor tweeted less than an hour later, telling fans the site was down for maintenance.
“Well… we have underestimated you once again. Due to insane traffic we took the Houseplant site down temporarily while I learn to write code,” he said. “I’m very sorry if you’ve been waiting. There’s still a lot of products available! I will let you know as soon as it’s up again.”
The outage didn’t last terribly long, as Rogen took to Twitter once more a few hours later to announce that the site was up and running again.
