Martha Stewart: 'Of Course I Know How To Roll A Joint'
There is nothing that Martha Stewart can't do. She can make a potato chip with a decorative leaf inside it. The woman befriended inmates in jail via crochet.
And so it stands to reason that when she smokes weed, she smokes weed right. The O.G. domestic goddess did an interview with Andy Cohen of Bravo last week, and he asked her if she knew how to roll a joint.
In response, she told a quick story about how, when she was on her way to the interview, she pulled up next to an ice cream truck inside of which two young people were getting high:
A girl and a guy were smoking joints, and they had them in their hands like this [demonstrates holding a joint], and I said boy, those are sloppy joints.
Support for LAist comes from
In other words, nothing you do poorly gets by Martha Stewart unnoticed. Roll a sloppy joint? You should be ashamed.
Anyway, she followed up the story by schooling Cohen on who, exactly, he was talking to:
Of course I know how to roll a joint.
Of course. What is this, amateur hour? This is Martha fucking Stewart. Of course she knows how to roll a joint, and she will knit that joint a monogrammed koozie while she's at it, and then she will smoke it with the precision and accuracy of a brain surgeon.
The lady isn't friends with Snoop Dogg for nothing.
Here's the full interview:
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
