Video: Jack White Says He’s Never Smoked Marijuana

Rob Slater on September 17, 2014

Last night on AXS TV, Dan Rather visited Jack White’s Third Man Records studio to talk to the guitarist about a variety of topics. One such topic that was edited out of the interview was White’s history with drug use. As it turns out, such a history doesn’t exist. “I’ve never even smoked marijuana,” White says when Rather mentions that he has never had problems drinking or abusing drugs.

“You’re kidding me,” Rather quips, drawing a laugh. White then goes on to explain the thought process behind such a decision as well as a conversation he had with a musician who claimed that some of The Beatles’ records don’t count because “that wasn’t really them.” That’s certainly one way of looking at it.

Watch a replay below. The full interview will re-air on AXS TV throughout the week.
