True story: I’m one of those people who has weird little calming mechanisms and self-soothing tics. I’m the person who plays with pens, rubs the pages on books, shuffles cards obsessively and constantly plays with my nails. I’m not trying to make it sound like I’m completely OCD because I’m not, at all. I think many people have little nervous tics or calming mechanisms. Mine usually involve keeping my hands busy. So… I’m sort of glad that I never got into rolling joints, because I could totally see how that would be something that I would find soothing. I knew a great joint-roller in college – she could roll joints so fast and they would always be perfect in size and tightness. It was quite a skill. But what happens when you’re the official joint-roller for all of your friends but you’ve stopped smoking weed? Well, if you’re Miley Cyrus, you just keep rolling joints for your friends and you never smoke with them.
Miley Cyrus said she’s still not smoking weed — but she still rolls joints for her friends. The “Malibu” singer stopped by SiriusXM’s Hits 1 in Hollywood on Friday, hosted by Michael Yo, Tony Fly and Symon from the SiriusXM LA Studios, and the famously pro-pot 24-year-old discussed the lifestyle change she first revealed in her Billboard cover story.
“I roll them joints. I still roll the joints for them!” she said to the hosts when asked if her friends do not smoke around her. “I just sit there. I roll fat joints, too.”
She said the lifestyle change has been easy since she put her mind to making it.
“Anything I want to do, if I want to start or stop something, I can do anything, so I just decided not to anymore and now that’s easy for me,” she said. “It’s very weird.”
And she said the biggest difference she feels not smoking is her increased energy.
“I’ve got a lot of energy. I’ve always had a lot of energy,” she said. “I’m a very obsessive person, which I need to work on, but also it helps in my position to be a little obsessive because then I can really get things done and make sure it’s perfect the way I want things to look or the video.”
I could probably roll joints for other people without ever lighting one up too, although there have been many moments in the past six months where I honestly thought “I wish I was really stoned right now to deal with this Trump nonsense.” It’s actually sort of crazy that Miley would choose this political moment to be stone-cold sober, although maybe she’s self-soothing by just endlessly rolling “fat” joints. Also: fat joints are the worst. It feels like a waste of money?
Here’s the real question though… while Miley says she’s not smoking weed anymore and I half-way believe her, do you think she’ll end up phasing out sobriety too? I do. Give it another month.

I just find it obnoxious when people brag about drinking or smoking pot (or in this case being able to roll a “fat joint”). I just remember way too many basic bros bragging about the same stuff in high school and college and I can’t help it — it just elicits a big eye roll from me.
Seriously, Miley, go read a book, so you have something interesting to talk about that’s not weed or twerking. Because you sound tedious.
Translation: “I made more money as a Disney princess. I’m going back to that.”
I thought it was the boyfriend. He liked her when she was girl next door, then broke up when she was going through her “I’m outrageous, look at me” phase, and she’s been toning it down since they reunited, back to girl next-door.
karen – i think you nailed it
‘Girl next door Disney princess’? Not so sure about that. From 2009 (when she and Liam started dating) to 2012 (before the image you’re talking about started) Miley was already stirring up concern-trolling, torches, and pitchforks from people over her “pole-dance” at the teen choice awards, immodest and “immodest” outfits ( hotpants, bra-exposing tops, mini-dresses, long elegant cleavage baring gowns, belly shirts, thigh-high boots, garter-belt-type stockings, visible public bralessness, fishnet stockings, and performing in leotards), multiple tattoos (including ones near her boobs) and nose and navel piercings, a nude bathtub photoshoot she did with some photographer, leaked and hacked photos of her in her underwear, talking in a magazine interview about how sex is’ magical and cool’ and how girls should get to know themselves sexually, getting caught smoking salvia, bragging about how much weed she smoked, (and there have been rumors that Liam enjoys weed from time), getting photographed pretending to go down on the dick cake she got Liam for his birthday, and grinding on an older gay coworker at a party.
Liam dated her as she was doing all of those things, and even defended the dick cake and the bragging about weed back in 2012. It doesn’t seem like what he got or wanted was really a ‘girl next door Disney princess’ It’s just that that kind of image and behavior may look like ‘girl next door’ in comparison to the image we’ve seen Miley with from 2013-2015. Even in this more toned down image she’s trying now, she’s still wearing booty shorts, going braless, and wearing cropped tops- all things that used to illicit outrage and concern-trolling when she did those things before. And every girl Liam has been linked to over the years has been a famous or semi-famous girl who’s immodest, vulgar (no shade) or allegedly ‘scandalous’ in some way.
Really? Did you SEE the party she threw liam for his birthday where all these white people dressed up like a “rap video” aka where yet another offensive costume?
I’m sure some of her antics turned him off but I doubt that was the entire reason
I find it intriguing she just decided to go back to her roots and ditch joints, twerking and black culture apporpriation as Trump ascended.
I can’t wait for her next revelation! *extreme, eye rolling, sarcasm
I find it interesting (any maybe I’m reading too much into it) that they are so specifically saying that she no longer ‘smokes’ weed. There are many other ways to ingest the stuff, and there are a lot of people who have given up smoking it, in favour of edibles, recently.
I think she’ll end up smoking again, but I’m projecting my own experience onto her situation. Not only do I smoke, but I believe in marijuana. I believe in the medicinal value, spiritual power, and recreational merits of cannabis, deeply. So when I stopped smoking because I had to, legally, I always knew that I would smoke again. People would always ask me, “Won’t you just use this as an opportunity to quit?” But I never really wanted to quit? I never felt bad about smoking. The only anxiety that came from smoking was because it was illegal. I always knew I would start smoking again. And I feel like most people who are really passionate about cannabis will always come back to it, and Miley strikes me as one of those people.
Hi @Shambles, I’d love you to expand on that – cannabis, not Miley. I cannot understand it. Why do you worship a mind-altering substance that makes you see and feel the world in a very specific manner, independent of what the world or your personality is sending your way? Like cocaine gives self-confidence, cannabis makes you connect things and be ok about the interconnectedness of things (if I recall) but it’s a chemical alteration and not a hard-fought for philosophy. My kids have friends who smoke contantly, but that doesn’t help them with depression and with productivity at all. It just makes them party and forget.
How do you see it as a spiritual thing? Really interested here, I\d loke to understand these young adults and cannabis does not agree with me so I’m not gonna give it another try.
I recently started smoking to see if it would help with the nausea I was experiencing from a health condition. Not only has it been a tremendous help with nausea, it has helped relieve anxiety and regulated my sleep cycle. In addition, it actually helps me to focus and be productive. Overall it has really helped to relieve my depression and anxiety symptoms.
Thanks @Lipreng. I understand it from a clinical perspective, i.e. chronical pain, or nausea as you say (I didn’t know it could help with that) and other issues.It just seems very ineffective from what I see around me: people with red eyes and a tired expression. Or with the giggles, which is a bit unnerving 😉 Less with depression but I believe you if you say it helps.
@Shambles..Amen.
I think she’s trying to get pregnant and that’s the real reason she’s stopped smoking weed. I’m betting on a pregnancy announcement by this fall.
oh god, i dont know if i can emotionally handle that but i bet youre right
I could believe that.
Oh shit.
Yes. She’s pregnant or trying.
omg can she just stahhhp with all the “weed” talk. She is so try hard it embarrasses me
totally. I have never smoked weed in my life, nor do i drink – cause I do not like the taste of it.
But i do not walk around telling EVERYBODY about it constantly. It is not that big a deal to me either way.
On a more superficial note – i HATE the dark roots. It just looks messy and dirty to me.
Recently had some weed caramel corn and, not that I have tons of experience with edibles, it is my favorite so far. No real earthy flavor, mild tingles, would recommend. And I’m betting it would pair very well with the flamin hot cheetos brittle made by a local food truck. And the reserved seating AMC theaters.
I’m not the biggest into Miley, but her current look is nice. Minus that the neckerchief. That’s a bit too Dexy’s Midnight Runners.
I partake for Chronic pain. Ot isn’t anything I talk about to be cool. That is dumb.
I smoke weed. Not daily. I find zero difference between people who enjoy a nice non muchie inducing sativa like green queen and people who drink a glass of wine. I know there afe daily pinot drinkers out there i shouldn’t judge even if they judge me.
Eh she’s trying on another costume. This year is country roots are whatever she’s trying to peddle. Who cares I’m over her because the last 3 years of her career have been offensive
