Charlize Theron has revealed she quit her cannabis habit in her early 30s because it made her ‘boring’.
The Oscar-winning actress, 42, revealed she used to be a regular ‘wake and baker’ but made the decision to stop using the drug when it no longer agreed with the ‘chemistry’ of her body.
The Mad Max star told E! News her penchant for marijuana was strong throughout her 20s, but her attitude towards smoking ‘totally changed’ as she matured.

Charlize said: ‘I was a wake-and-baker for most of my life. I really appreciated marijuana way more than alcohol or anything else.
‘My chemistry was really good with it when I was younger and then it just changed one day.
‘Like, in my early thirties I just became boring on it and I would just stand in front of my fridge, so that’s no good. It totally changed, so I stopped.’
Charlize added that she wouldn’t rule out trying the drug again, saying she may use it to help with insomnia so she can come off her sleeping pills.

The Atomic Blonde star previously admitted she enjoyed wild times in her twenties, experimenting with class-A drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy.
Speaking to Howard Stern on his radio show in July 2017, she was asked if she had tried harder drugs such as cocaine, to which she responded: ‘I definitely experimented, yeah.’
When asked about ecstasy, she added: ‘I had a f*****g great time. I didn’t do a lot of it but I definitely did in my 20s.’
Since then Charlize has settled down as a mother to her two adopted children, son Jackson, six, and daughter August, two.

She joked: ‘Now I am asleep by 8.45pm and I love it and I love it, love it. I wake up at 6.30am. I have to make two lunchboxes.’
The blonde beauty first rose to prominence after starring as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in 2003’s Monster, which won her an Academy Award for Best Actress.
Since then Charlize’s film career has shown no signs of slowing down, but the starlet recently ruled herself out of the running to play a female James Bond.
She told Yahoo!: ‘I think it’s great that we are developing more characters within that genre for females, that they can take ownership.
‘So, it’s a really nice thing for people to say. I’m very old though. I would be a very old James Bond.’
