Hip Hop DX on why Method Man stopped smoking…
Method Man has reflected back on the one time he stopped smoking weed while filming his 2001 stoner comedy How High with Redman.
The film – in which the two rappers star as chronic cannabis users who are visited by the ghost of a dead friend after smoking his ashes – will celebrate its 21st anniversary on December 21, and Method Man told the Kitchen Talk podcast that after smoking real weed for the first half of filming, the duo was forced to stop because of how high they’d be by lunchtime.
“At first yeah,” Meth said when asked by Maino at the hour mark if he smoked real weed throughout the film. “Hell yeah! And they was like, ‘you guys are so spot on in the morning but after lunch you come back something’s different.’”
He continued, “The producer Stacey Sher I remember she pulled me to the side and she was like, ‘You know after this I’m gonna still be a producer, my face isn’t on the screen, but I’ll get my credit. That’s your face on the screen. How do you wanna be seen?’ You right, you right.”
