JAKARTA - Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant revealed why he smoked marijuana during a Netflix interview with David Letterman. The full interview will air on May 20 as part of the new season of My Guest Needs No Introduction.
Prior to the interview, Durant first started talking about his business ventures in the cannabis industry, specifically about his partnership with Weedmaps -- an app used to find local pharmacies. He explained that the goal of this partnership is to remove the stigma against the narrative of athletes smoking marijuana.
Durant later revealed that he first started using marijuana at the age of 22. His comments made headlines as the NBA still enforces a marijuana ban even though it no longer conducts random drug tests.
Slim Reaper then explained why he smoked marijuana, comparing it to a glass of wine. He also admitted to Letterman that he was really 'tall' at the time.

"For me, it takes the distractions out of your brain a bit. It calms me down. It's like drinking a glass of wine," Durant said. "I'm really tall now."
Durant has been advocating for medical marijuana for the past few years. Like many athletes, he views marijuana as a safer and less addictive alternative to prescription painkillers.
The new season of My Guest Needs No Introduction will include interviews with Cardi B, Billie Eilish, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ryan Reynolds, and Will Smith. In previous seasons, Letterman has interviewed Barack Obama, Dave Chappele, and Kim Kardashian.
