Rap star Sido is eagerly awaiting the legalization of cannabis. Paul Hartmut Würdig, his real name, is involved in the cannabis business with a start-up. With the star he talks about the first joint, his most dangerous crash and his contribution to the trivialization of cannabis.
The cannabis legalization planned for April could be about to end. Transport and domestic politicians from the SPD have too many concerns about releasing the drug, reports the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”. A cancellation of the plans would also affect Germany’s most famous stoner. The star spoke to Paul Hartmut Würdig, Sido’s real name, in the summer of 2023. On the occasion of the current debate, we are republishing the interview from July here.
Mister Worthy, it’s midday. Have you already smoked weed today?
Yes I have. But I never smoke a whole joint. I pull a few times and then put it away.
How old were you the first time?
I was 13. But back then, marijuana wasn’t nearly as strong as it is today. And I’m glad I didn’t smoke high-proof THC so early on.
