When Cudder announced the shocking decision of quitting weed, many people weren’t buying it since it came on a day like April 1st. But in this fan footage taken during Rites of Spring show on Saturday, he explains the reasons which inspired his decision.

“You know how some people can take a smoke and they’re good, they do it for recreational purposes, shit like that. I was the motherfucker who was doing that shit all the time, recreationally, every day, wake up, needed it, all those things. While I was in that state of mind I just was missing a lot of shit that was going on in my circle. I just felt like I needed to just take a step back, clear my dome and focus on some real imporant shit. Like my daughter for one, my family, my business, things that are important. But you know, don’t be sad, I had a good run right? “
