Recently, the country superstar Jelly Roll has adopted a healthier lifestyle. But the “Halfway to Hell” singer says the key to his success lies in balance and knowing what works for him.
In a new interview on Taste of Country Nights, Jelly Roll was asked if he still smokes weed amid his goal to live a healthier lifestyle. “I get in trouble for it all the time, but my stance on marijuana will always be the same. I think marijuana has helped me with a lot of issues, with my anxiety,” he said. “This is a hot button, but really, marijuana has kept me sober.”
Jelly Roll added: “I think a world without weed, Jelly Roll is drinking codeine and popping Xanax and snorting cocaine again. But a world of weed, I'll be fine.”
He also noted that he has “friends who don't do that. I have friends who are in the program who are completely against any kind of mind changing. I respect that. I have so much respect for these people. My sobriety just didn't work out that way.”
Earlier this month, the singer completed his first 5K race, taking part in the 2 Bears 5K in Los Angeles. Are also bound himself to walk more regularly and eat healthily.
Jelly Roll is currently working on a new project, saying he wrote more than 150 songs in the process of creating the new record. He's slowly been offering a taste of new music, debuting a new song, “I Am Not OK,” which focuses on mental health, The voice. He also performed the song “Liar,” which targets addiction, during the Academy of Country Music Awards.
He's also on the verge of adding another Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 in his arsenal, with “Halfway to Hell”. He has already scored three Country Airplay chart toppers “Son of a Sinner,” “Need a Favor” and “Save Me” (featuring Lainey Wilson).
