Kacey Musgraves has insisted she hasn't totally quit marijuana.

The 36-year-old country star sang about "getting rid" of certain habits in her 2024 track 'Deeper Well' and later said in an interview that she weed was "not for this chapter" of her life, but now she's clarified her stance.

She told The Hollywood Reporter: "Um, I never said I don't ever partake.

"I just don't wake up and hit a gravity bong the size of my face anymore, which is what I did for a long time.

"But, hey, more power to whatever suits you."

In her 2013 track 'Follow Your Arrow', she urged listeners to "kiss lots of boys, or kiss lots of girls", and "roll up a joint, or don't".

The song's referencing to homosexuality and cannabis sparked controversy among the country music scene's more conservative circles.

She recalled: "Oh my gosh, it was so controversial. I was told not to [release the song] and all these reasons why."

She added: "It ended up tanking -- it was banned by country radio. But I would never trade that for the love and the people it brought to my world.

"I'm not going to present a watered-down version of myself to be accepted. I'll f****** shovel s*** for a living at a horse barn, and I'll be really happy. Or I'll just be a songwriter. Anyway, it ended up working out."

Last year, Kacey told The Cut that she was leaving her stoner persona behind.

She quipped: "It's not for this chapter. Maybe later, when I'm a 60-year-old lady with nothing to do and I'm just doing pottery all day, maybe. We'll see."

Meanwhile, the 'Rainbow' hitmaker also reflected on the fallout of her divorce 2020 divorce from Ruston Kelly, and subsequent romance with now-ex boyfriend Cole Shafer, which she shared a lot on Instagram.

She said: "I don't regret living and loving as hard as I do. Whenever I'm in a relationship, I'm all f****** in.

"I think that hesitancy breeds hesitancy, and if you go in with something with one foot, it's going to fail.

"After divorce, it's like on one hand I do want to self-protect, but at the same time, if your heart is feeling open, I think you have to just show up for it. I'm still trying to figure out the balance of that."
