Jelly Roll Claims Marijuana Keeps Him ‘Sober,’ Off Hard Drugs
Jelly Roll‘s sober strategy involves just a dash of drugs … ’cause he says he needs marijuana to live a clean lifestyle — claiming without it he’d go back to harder stuff in a heartbeat.
The singer-songwriter opened up about his coping mechanism during an interview with Taste of Country … admitting he smokes weed to stay away from other drugs he’s used in the past.
JR says, “I think a world without weed, Jelly Roll’s drinking codeine and popping Xanax and snorting cocaine again, but a world with weed, I’ll be alright” — it’s a bold statement, and Jelly admits it’s a hot-button issue to argue Mary Jane keeps him sober.
That said, Jelly Roll swears by the stuff — saying pot’s helped lower his anxiety, and lessened the need to find relief in riskier drugs.

Jelly Roll might not be fully sober … but, he’s a huge voice against fentanyl and for people dealing with drug addiction. Back in January, he even appeared in front of Congress to back anti-fentanyl legislation.
Of course, many celebs have admitted they’re “California sober” … basically saying they don’t do hard drugs, but they do enjoy a toke or a drink on occasion.
Demi Lovato, The Weeknd and Billy Idol are just a few celebs who have copped to the lifestyle in the past … though, to be fair Demi’s since dropped the habit and gone full-on cold turkey.
Sounds like Jelly Roll’s got no plan to do that anytime soon … sticking with the sticky icky instead.
