Kevin Durant spoke out about advocating for the NBA commissioner, Adam Silver, to remove marijuana from the list of banned substances. He compared it to wine, saying many people use it. In an interview with David Letterman on Netflix, Durant revealed that he smokes weed regularly and started doing so when he was 22. He believes it helps clear distractions from the mind and brings a calming effect.

Durant has teamed up with Weedmaps, a tech company that provides information about marijuana dispensaries. Their goal is to change the way people view athletes using marijuana and to promote its potential benefits for Health and well-being.

In the past, Durant got caught up in a situation when he tweeted “Sour D” in 2014, which led to speculation that he was referring to a strain of marijuana. He later admitted it was a mistake and apologized for the confusion.
