Woody Harrelson recently sat down for an interview with Vulture, where he revealed that he stopped smoking pot a year ago. Here's what he had to say:
What’s a misconception that people have about you?
Woody Harrelson: "[Another long pause.] They think I’m a party animal, which … I am a party animal. I mean, that might be one thing. But I am a party animal. But on the other hand, I haven’t … I’m now extremely moderate and … I actually stopped smoking pot almost a year ago."

I think it’s a great drug, in terms of … Even cops say that the side effect is euphoria. Or the … what do you call it?"
The effect?
WH: "Right. The effect of it is euphoria. But when you’re doing it all the time, it just becomes … Well, you know. I feel like it was keeping me from being emotionally available. I really don’t want this interview to turn into a whole thing about that."
Well, congratulations. It’s not easy.
WH: "I still drink. But I try to be moderate with the drinking, too."
