Jim Carrey on weed

Jim Carrey on weed: “I’ve had an addiction to pot from time to time. A compulsion to it. It all stems from how much pressure you’re under. If you’re under a lot of pressure a joint feels so good to get off the planet that you just might decide to do it for a couple of months. I’ve had periods of time like that, but I don’t create anymore. That’s the trouble and that’s what’s always kept me away from going down that road too far is that I notice I stop painting. Figuratively, I stop creating and I stop being social. I’m like Richard Pryor on fire for the first week. People are crippled by my humor I’m so free, and then I just shut down and I go away. It’s no good for me”
