If you’ve ever listened to The Weeknd’s music, you know that there’s three topics that are usually discussed: drugs, sex and parties. According to a 2015 GQ profile, The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Testafaye, first used marijuana when he was 11-years-old. “I never needed detox or anything,” he said. “But I was addicted in the sense of ‘Fuck, I don’t want to spend this day without getting high.’”

In a 2016 interview with The Guardian, when discussing his record Starboy, he talked a little more about drugs and how his relationship with them has changed as he’s grown up. “When I had nothing to do but make music, it was very heavy. Drugs were a crutch for me. There were songs on my first record that were seven minutes long, rambling – whatever thoughts I was having when I was under the influence at the time. I can’t see myself doing that now.”

He explained how drugs and weed were often his crutches, especially when making music and working long hours. He said that he decided to cut them out of the studio. “And the ball started rolling. And then I didn’t need it any more.”

As of late, The Weeknd hasn’t made any direct statements regarding marijuana. While he appears to have limited his use when recording and working, he might be an occasional user on his days off.
