Keith Richards: 'I Still Smoke Weed All The Time'

Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards has admitted that he still smokes weed regularly.

Speaking during the promotional push for the Martin Scorsese directed ‘Shine A Light’, Richards says he has ditched the harder drugs but still enjoys cannabis.

The 64-year-old said: “I smoke my head off. I smoke weed all the damn time. There, you’ve got it. But that’s my benign weed. That’s all I take, that’s all I do. But I do smoke and I’ve got some really good hash.”

Richards went on to rant against the cigarette ban in all public places in the UK and certain states in America. Richards famously ate a cigarette onstage in protest at the ban.

Richards continued to The Sun: “It’s a drag because you’ve got to freeze your balls off to light a cigarette, you’ve got to go outside.

“It’s draconian – socially, politically-correct bullshit. That’s what it is. They’ll get over it.

“It’s like prohibition; they tried to stop booze once. Ha, look what happened. It ruined America.”

It is nothing to do with political correctness, we just don't want to breath that shit in!

Hes cool, but his comments on the smoking ban are a load of rubbish.

[PunkMeGrunge]

Fuck yeah, Keith.
Not only should weed be legal, this bullshit about not being able to smoke anywhere sucks. I mean, I understand when people don't want to breathe in secondhand smoke, that's totally cool. I smoke, but I alway try to avoid smoking around people who don't like it, or just keep the smoke out of their face. Even when I didn't smoke, I still let people smoke in my car and shit, they just had to keep it away from me, you know?
Smoking shouldn't be some taboo, evil nonsense, just let it be. It's a choice, and people who decide to smoke shouldn't be restricted, or punished because of it.
I'm glad Keith still tokes up, It's good he hasn't stopped having fun, eh?

Keep on rockin', Richards.

And this is news? Kind of implied simply from the fact that he's Keith Richards.

[SelfishJean]

I'd like to give that man a high five! But then again he'd probably like it better if I just gave him a joint. What a man.
Ah well...he speaks what he believes so I think he deserves a 'rock on'.
