Woody Harrelson Gives Up Pot — After 18-Year ‘Addiction’

Woody Harrelson has given up puffing marijuana — but it was more of struggle than the star is admitting! The outspoken toker has shocked Hollywood by talking about how he's no longer puffing while promoting his new film "Wilson." Officially, Woody says that he was just tired of "thirty solid years of just partying too f--king hard.” But The National ENQUIRER caught him struggling to quit back in 1999!

"I don't want to just be a pothead," said Woody at the time — admitting: "I have an addiction!" The former "Cheers" bartender even confessed that his hard-partying reputation was keeping him from going straight: "I've quit from time to time in the middle of something that's a lot of pressure, and after a couple of days, three days, my friends — who were so happy for me to quit — very kindly suggest that I smoke a joint!"

Longtime fans are now shocked to see Woody giving up marijuana just as it becomes legal in plenty of states. But the outspoken actor — who once confessed in an LA Times interview that he'd break down in tears going a week without pot — won't condemn any other stoners out there. “I don’t have a problem at all with smoking,” he insists. ”I think it’s great!"
