Tish Cyrus Says She Would've Been a 'Better Parent' Had She Smoked Weed When Her Kids Were Young

Tish Cyrus opened up about how smoking marijuana has mellowed her out on a new episode of her and daughter Brandi's podcast, 'Sorry We're Stoned'

Tish Cyrus suspects her parenting skills may have gotten an added boost had she been a fan of marijuana back in the day.

On a new episode of her podcast Sorry We’re Stoned, Tish, 56, opened about the ways in which smoking weed may have helped her be a better mom to her five children.

“I actually feel like I would’ve been… I didn’t smoke pot when I had kids. I didn’t start smoking until I was like, 46,” she said on the podcast, which she co-hosts with daughter Brandi. “And so I think I would’ve been a better parent if I would’ve smoked then. I think I would’ve been… like, I don’t know, school projects, I would’ve felt more fun.”

At that point, Brandi, 36, interjected to explain that Tish likely would’ve been “much more tolerant.”

“I was just like, 'Argh!' And so I really do wish I had smoked then,” Tish added.

Tish is mom to Brandi, Trace, 35, Miley, 31, Braison, 29, and Noah, 24, with ex-husband Billy Ray Cyrus. They split in 2022, and she married Prison Break actor Dominc Purcell in August.

On the episode that premiered Thursday, Tish and Brandi welcomed rapper Wiz Khalifa on the show, and he reminisced about collaborating with Miley on the 2013 song “23.” Though Miley has since quit smoking weed, she was a fan of it at the time — even though Tish wasn’t.

“She loved weed. And at that time, I didn’t smoke weed,” Tish recalled. “And I was not happy with her.”

And it was really scary,” she said. “I would love to just be this poster child for women our age and just be like, I promise you starting over sometimes is the best thing you can ever do. It's been great for me.”
