Steve-O swears off all drugs except for pot PDF Print E-mail

Steve-O snorts wasabi Steve-O (nee Stephen Glover) say he's quitting all drugs, except for pot. "I'm going to make more money, have more sex, become more famous and quit smoking," the Top CelebStoner tells The Sun in England where he was born in 1974. "I'm quitting all drugs too. I quit cocaine and I'm off nitrous oxide. So now I'm just a pothead."

The co-star of the Jackass movies and MTV's Wildboyz was arrested for smuggling pot into Sweden in 2003 as part of an "international drug smuggling skit" the Swedish government didn't find so funny. He'd swallowed a condom filled with marijuana and hash at the Oslo Airport in Norway en toute to Stockholm. After boasting about the skit to reporters, Swedish police arrested and jailed him for five days. 

CelebStoner interviewed Steve-O about the incident:

What were you doing in Sweden?

Steve-O mug shot 2003 I was doing my "Don’t Try This at Home" tour. It’s a stage show where we perform stunts that were not allowed on television. I was in Norway. This was an idea I had I was really excited about – take a condom, stuff it with marijuana, tie a knot and swallow it, so then when I crapped it out I could roll up a joint and say, "Now that’s good shit!" That’s what I did. I was really drunk at the time when I did it. I put in a big chunk of hash too, and a rolling paper. It was really, like, big. When I got to Sweden, it took seven days for me to crap it out. That entire time we had interview after interview coming through the hotel lobby. Pretty much every interview I did I told them, "Well, I swallowed a condom full of pot!” The police wound up seeing one of the articles the morning I crapped it out and smoked it all. I got ambushed by Swedish plainclothes officers as I walked out of the hotel. I was, "Alright, search me, I don’t have anything." They wound up finding a pill of Ecstasy and some twigs in my hotel room. They were convinced I still had it in me. They took me to the hospital and put me on an X-Ray machine. The X-Ray revealed a foreign object in my body. They saw this as a good reason to lock me up in this special cell where I had to crap in evidence bags for five days. They were digging through all my crap, looking for this object. I was in solitary confinement with a one-way mirror. They told me take Ex-Lax. After five days, the prosecutor was psyched for having his name in the paper, but he was starting to look like an idiot for holding me. It was international incident. So the prosecutor came in and said, "If you plead guilty to possession of five grams of marijuana and Ecstasy,” he’ll let me go. We got everything on video – digging out of the crap, the entire arrest, my out-of-jail wrapup. It’s a signature piece.

So you’re a marijuana activist now?

Yeah. I’ve always been a marijuana enthusiast. I don’t know about activist. I went to the MTV Movie Awards immediately after getting out of jail pretty much. I really took it upon myself to make a statement on the red carpet to all these television shows like Access Hollywood. I said: "They first thing I want to say about my arrest in Sweden is I’m not sorry for anything I did. In order to sustain life the human body needs rest and food. Marijuana makes you tired and hungry and I’m proud to smoke it." So, yeah, you can definitely say I’m a marijuana activist.

Do you have a favorite strain of weed?

I always thought it was dumb to give pot names. A lot of time the pot that smells the least stinky gets you the most baked. Are you guys going to let me keep all this weed?Not all of it.Any one of these buds will keep me happy. I love doing this interview!I was really surprised at how much and how good the pot I bought in South Africa was. Fifty rands (about $7) bought me an ounce of weed – but it was all seeds and stems. The next day we gave a guy 200 rand ($28) and got this humongous pillow. It wasn’t shwag and it wasn’t kind. It was homegrown. It smelled so good. There were no seeds in it. I was on this mission throughout this trip filming the TV show to try to finish all the pot. Sure enough, we did. On the way to the  airport I was bummed because I was out of pot.
