Keith Richards smokes weed at breakfast but isn't sure about legalization

by Dan MacRae

Best to get the children out of the room for this revelation: Keith Richards enjoys smoking pot.

*Gives you 20 minutes to collect your thoughts and collapse on a soft surface*

The 71-year-old Rolling Stones legend tells the classic rock minded mag Mojo that marijuana is part of his morning routine. (Possibly as part of a balanced breakfast.)

“I smoke regularly, an early morning joint. Strictly Californian,” Keef explained.

The stadium-packing guitarist did admit that he wasn’t sure how he feels about the legalization of the stuff.

“One of the most pleasant things to watch is a map of America where it goes, green… green… green… green,” said Richards. “Whether it’s a good thing in the long run, I don’t know.”

Richards has a new album at the ready due out September 18. The record, titled Crosseyed Heart, is the first Keef solo full-length in existence this side of 1992’s Main Offender. The new offering runs 15 tracks deep and includes a duet with Norah Jones called “Illusion.” Blaze out to the first single below.
