Jelly Roll shared that weed has helped treat his anxiety but also kept him away from using drugs like cocaine
Jelly Roll shared that using marijuana has helped him stay away from harder drugs.
“I get in trouble for this, all the time, but my stance on marijuana will always be the same,” the country singer, 39, said in an interview with Taste of Country published on Friday, May 24. “I believe marijuana has helped me in so many regards, with my anxiety. This is a hot-button topic, but, truly, marijuana has kept me sober.”
Jelly Roll (real name Jason DeFord) has been candid about his struggles with addiction and substance abuse over the years. The musician confessed that if weed wasn’t around, he doesn’t know if he would be able to refrain.
“I think a world without weed, Jelly Roll’s drinking codeine and popping Xanax and snorting cocaine again,” he said to the outlet.
