“When you get older, you do it with purpose,” says Marlon Wayans in an exclusive interview, reflecting on his evolving relationship with cannabis. The multi-talented actor, comedian, and producer, known for his iconic roles in weed-forward films like “Scary Movie” and “Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood,” has seen his use of cannabis transition from youthful experimentation to a purposeful part of his lifestyle.
He openly shares how his perspective has matured over the years. “When you’re younger, you just smoke because you like smoking; you want to get high and be with your friends,” he explains. “When you get older, it’s like, okay, I’m gonna do this strain because I want to just relax right now. I want this kind of weed because I just want to chill right now and have some fun.” This evolution mirrors the broader societal shift towards understanding and embracing the multifaceted uses of cannabis, beyond mere recreation.

Calling from his home in Los Angeles, Wayans is in the midst of a busy schedule, juggling film shoots and stand-up shows. “I’ve been crazy. I was filming a movie… then wrapping the movie, then doing stand-up shows and promoting my special,” he says. He recently finished filming a psychological horror movie directed by Justin Tipping and written by Jordan Peele, which is set to release in September 2025. “I finally am home. I was in Albuquerque filming a Jordan Peele movie. I got the lead in this movie called ‘Him’… It got me in shape and I’m happy about that because I play a football player. It’s a great role, a great movie.”
Despite his hectic life, Wayans makes time for projects that align with his passions, one of which is his partnership with Dr. Green NFT.
