Kid Cudi Reveals Past Weed Addiction, Rehab Impact

Kid Cudi has openly discussed his past struggle with marijuana addiction, admitting that he once smoked up to 15 blunts a day, which he said "truly ruled" his life. After releasing his memoir, Cudi: The Memoir, which details his battles with addiction and nearly fatal overdose, he entered rehab in November 2024 to address his marijuana use. Following rehab, he quit smoking for two months before adopting a more controlled and moderate approach to marijuana, now limiting his use to nights or weekends with a joint lasting him nearly all day. Cudi highlighted that his improved sobriety has positively impacted his acting career, allowing him to access deeper emotions on set without being under the influence. His recent album Free, released in August 2025, reflects this new phase in his life, featuring 13 tracks without guest appearances. Overall, Cudi emphasizes a renewed focus on sobriety and being present in life while maintaining a healthier relationship with marijuana.
