Kid Cudi is opening up about his marijuana use.
In a new interview with People, the rapper says writing his memoir, Cudi: The Memoir, prompted him to reflect on how much he was smoking, which led to him going to rehab again in November.
“I just was in this place where I was abusing it,” Cud tells the mag. “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.”
He quit smoking entirely for two months, then decided to start again in a healthier way.
“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 says.
Cudi adds that his relationship with weed has changed “in a major way” and now he’s “more interested in being sober a lot more and being more present.”
Cudi: The Memoir is out now.
