In a cheeky disco video posted at Instagram, Jane Fonda reveals that she is now working with Uncle Bud's Hemp in Los Angeles. She shows off several of their products, including a hand santiizer and adds this comment:
Fonda tells WWD that she's now the amabassador for Uncle Bud's:
"I use a pen that limits how many doses you get, which is way better than taking sleeping pills... But I was never majorly into pot to tell you the truth. However, I have osteoarthritis, so things that help with pain and inflammation are good. I have relatives who are elderly and I have sent them these products and they have really made a difference for them. Then I have indigenous friends who grow industrial hemp, and I’m learning a lot about hemp as a viable economic sector we need to foster. I found out recently, for example, that Henry Ford made a car out of industrial hemp fiber, and there’s something on YouTube that shows a guy with a sledge hammer trying to make a dent in this hemp fiber car, and he couldn’t. So it was a hemp fiber car that couldn’t be dented that ran on hemp oil!"
Jane Fonda: "I was never majorly into pot to tell you the truth."
She previously told Dujour:
"I’ll smoke pot every now and then. I cannot see a movie on pot. The number of movies I’ve seen thinking, This is probably the best I have ever seen, and then I’ll see it again sober and think, What was I thinking?"
Jane Fonda: "I’ll smoke pot every now and then."
Fonda famously smokes a joint with Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton in 9 to 5 (1980) and later played a pot-smoking grandma in Peace, Love and Understanding (2012). She's also co-starred with Tomlin in the stony Netflix series Grace and Frankie since 2015.
