Blunt Force: How Kid Cudi Went From 15 Blunts a Day to a Healthy Relationship With Weed

It’s no secret: weed, whether medicinal or recreational, is wonderful. It’s good for a great number of things, and it makes you feel good. But you know what they say about ‘too much of a good thing’: problematic cannabis use does exist, though it can be overcome with effort and perseverance.

The latest celebrity to learn this cold truth is Scott Mescudi, better known as Kid Cudi, who has just published an autobiography recounting the experiences that shaped his career. Among those experiences is his problematic cannabis use and the rehabilitation that led him to a healthier relationship with the plant.

In conversation with People, the musician explained how his smoking turned into a problem: “I was smoking maybe 15 blunts a day, wake up in the mornings, get high. It truly ruled my life.”

Thus, Kid Cudi decided to quit the substance and abstained from weed for two months. After that period, he considered himself ready to smoke again, fully aware that he never wanted to go back to the same intense habit. And for now, he seems to be succeeding.

“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,” the rapper shared. “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.”

What’s more, this positive change is seen not only in his daily routine, but also in his work environment. The musician is also an actor, and he confessed to having been “blitzed out of my mind” in many of his on-screen appearances. But today, that’s no longer the case, and Cudi notices the change when he’s completely sober in front of the cameras.

“Granted, it’s not like it hinders me in any type of way because I was smoking so much that I wasn’t really getting high,” Cudi admitted. “So people have seen me act for years and they love my acting. They love the stuff I’ve done, but it’s just something different when you’re on set and you’re sober and you can feel the emotions. Because in this movie, I cried a handful of times and it was easy to get there because I was sober… There’s no way I could have done this if I was high as shit.”

Finally, Kid Cudi hopes his experience inspires and brings hope to others going through similar hardships. “It’s always a lesson in there, always. Even if it doesn’t seem like it could be possible, because in the moment, everything just seems like all is lost, you know what I mean? But if you really think about it, everything happens for a reason,” he concluded.
