Kacey Musgraves details extent of her past drug use… but laughs off the idea that she’s totally sober

Eight-time Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves revealed she has significantly cut back on her marijuana use during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Although she laughed off the notion that she is completely sober, the country star, 36, set the record straight on whether she is still gets high and how often.  

‘I never said I don’t ever partake,’ she told the outlet. ‘I just don’t wake up and hit a gravity bong the size of my face anymore, which is what I did for a long time. But, hey, more power to whatever suits you.’

Last year, it was widely reported that Golden Hour hitmaker was done with cannabis after she told The Cut that pot was ‘not for this chapter’ of her life. 

‘Maybe later, when I’m a 60-year-old lady with nothing to do and I’m just doing pottery all day, maybe. We’ll see,’ she said, at the time.

Still, she said she wasn’t quitting all mind-bending substances.

During the 2024 interview, Musgraves also confessed to being a fan of psilocybin, the naturally occurring psychedelic compound produced by more than 200 species of fungi, aka magic mushrooms. 

‘When used with intention, I think it’s a mᴀssive dose of compᴀssion and reverence for nature, fellow humans, yourself,’ she claimed to the outlet.

In the тιтle track to her sixth studio album, Deeper Well, released last year, she admitted that she ‘used to wake and bake.’

After those eyebrow-raising lyrics, she went on to declare she was ‘getting rid of the habits that’ she feels are ‘real good at wasting’ her time.

During her chat with THR, Musgraves also reflected on how her 2013 track, Follow Your Arrow, which embraces weed and homoSєxuality, upset a lot of conservatives.

‘Oh my gosh, it was so controversial. I was told not to [release the song] and all these reasons why,’ she recalled to THR. ‘I was nervous… it ended up tanking — it was banned by country radio.’

Still, the singer insists she would never had traded that ‘for the love and the people it brought’ into her world.

‘I’m not going to present a watered-down version of myself to be accepted,’ she explained. ‘Anyway, it ended up working out.’

When asked if she can see how Follow Your Arrow helped make the country music scene more inclusive, Musgraves, a vocal ally for the LGBTQ+ community, clarified that she never set out to ‘some martyr or freaking rule-breaker.’

‘I’m just doing my job as a songwriter. When you look at country music as a genre and where it started, it is really textured, beautiful layers of real stories, heartbreak, things that aren’t always easy to talk about,’ she stated. ‘It’s stories for the everyday person.’  

Musgraves, who lives in Nashville, Tennessee, noted during the interview that she was on route to rural Williamsport, about an hour from her home.

‘A good friend of mine has a beautiful farm on hundreds of acres,’ the Texas native gushed. ‘It’s on the Duck River, which is one of the most biologically diverse rivers in the world. It has all these specific species of things that don’t exist anywhere else.’

While there, she raved about the ‘peaceful environment’ where she and her friends like to picnic and just live their ‘best lives — barefoot, dirty, in the river.’

‘It’s so fun,’ she said. 

Trips like these have, ultimately, influenced some of her most popular songs, like Space Cowboy, ʙuттerflies, Cardinal and Oh What a World.

Musgraves, who recently announced her return to the newly relaunched Lost Highway Records, pointed out that excursions like these and horseback riding have become ‘an outlet for tranquility’ in her hectic world.

‘It’s something that takes me outside of looking at my phone screen,’ she explained. ‘It gets me to look up, look out, breathe oxygen in.’
