Hip Hop and weed are synonymous with each other. Artists like Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y and more live by the flower, but some would instead go about their lives without the drug.
On Monday (August 2), Kehlani explained on TikTok her decision to quit smoking weed in 2018 came from her not being the most productive stoner. Many people believed she was an avid smoker, but she clarified the confusion.
“I used to smoke a lot of weed and now I speak on it in a past tense perspective,” she said. “People think I’m shitting on weed, I’m not. I loved weed when I was involved with it. It’s a beautiful plant with very nice properties when used correctly. I don’t think that I was using it correctly. I think I was overusing it.”

According to the It Was Good Until It Wasn’t singer, she quit abruptly after doctors told her she had a few years left of singing if she kept pulling on Backwoods. She made the revelation in a series of since-deleted tweets in January.
“It really really messed with my vocal cords and it really took a lot of energy from my day,” she added. “I stopped to regulate my body and myself… I got to a point where I couldn’t eat, sleep or be at a social gathering. I couldn’t kick it without smoking weed and I just didn’t want it to have that hold on my life anymore … And also my throat and lungs were tired of me.”
She continued, “I’m not judging the weed smokers! Get it, girl.”
In April, Kehlani made another clarification, this time regarding her sexuality. The singer took to Instagram Live to proudly declare she’s a lesbian.
“Y’all think there’s something new about me — you wanna know what’s new about me?” she said in the clip. “I finally know I’m a lesbian.”
a friend with weed is a friend indeed.
She’s right, at the end of the day it’s still a drug and no drug abuse should be glorified
Marijuana is a plant with medicinal properties. A drug is different from a medicine but uses medicines in its creation and that’s what people don’t understand. You are right in that any substance can be abused. People can become addicted to food, gambling, etc. because of many factors. But Marijuana is not a drug, it’s a plant.
No weed is a drug dumbass
Shut the hell up.
phew… I sure as hell am glad there was no “Tragic Ending(s)”… (no) pun intended. no…? ok.
Let’s get it straight. According to her doctor, smoking backwoods was the problem. That’s a man-made concoction, full of toxic chemicals, not a natural plant that’s been used for thousands of years. Smoking blunts will cause health problems, marijuana will not. I went through it, walking around with a nicotine addiction for years and not even knowing it because I didn’t smoke cigarettes. If you crave blunts and other ways of smoking don’t do it for you, then you might be addicted to nicotine. Nicotine is one of the most addictive and dangerous drugs ever created.
She can’t hang
