During a recent stop on the Dope As Usual podcast, Jeezy shared a story about how a bad experience scared him away from smoking weed for ten years.
Jeezy spoke about his hustling days, stating "What we would do when we cut up the rocks is we would put them in a bag, and we’d call it shake, and it’d be like the crumbs." He added that one day, a friend was around who asked, "'Yo, cuz. Let me get the crumbs," which Jeezy said he was "cool" with.
From there, he added, "So I gave her the crumbs. We hanging out that night and I’m like, ‘Man, I want some weed.’ And she says, ‘Shit, your cuz got some!’ So I called her, I was like, ‘Yo let me get some weed.’ I get the weed from her. We riding around, we listening to 2Pac, we smoking. [My friend] doesn’t smoke, but we smoking, and I’m listening and the music sounds like it’s chasing me [laughs]. I’m the most paranoid I’ve been. I think I’m gonna die."
The night ended with Jeezy going to the hospital, and he admitted that it scared him away from smoking for the next decade. He added, "I was more afraid ’cause a lot of my friends, we started off hustling and a few of ’em started smoking crack, and by this time I’m knee deep in it."
