Kid Cudi is revealing how his relationship with marijuana has changed after a past of heavy addiction. In a recent interview with People, the rapper opened up about his readmission to rehab in November 2024, a topic he also shared in his book, Cudi: The Memoir.
“I just was in this place where I was abusing it,” Cudi said. “I was really abusing it. I was smoking maybe 15 blunts a day, wake up in the mornings, get high. It truly ruled my life.”
Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, revealed that he even got sober for two months before he began using in moderation again. “And now I just get after it at night or on the weekends when I have the free time and I’m just relaxing, but I’m not smoking nowhere near as much weed as I was smoking before,” he explained.
“A joint lasts me all day, damn near. So my relationship has changed with that in a major way. And I’m just more interested in being sober a lot more and being more present.” Cudi added that cutting back has also improved his acting. “Because in this movie, I cried a handful of times and it was easy to get there because I was sober,” he said. “There’s no way I could have done this if I was high as s***.”
