Charlize Theron is no stranger to marijuana. Her latest film Gringo is all about the stuff, after all.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, though, she also described her personal experiences with the drug.

"I mean I'm always willing to try anything," she says in the clip, after Kimmel asks her if she's taken any.

"I had a good solid eight years on the marijuana. And then my chemistry just changed one day, like I found myself frozen in front of my fridge for like eight hours and I couldn't speak, and it just wasn't fun anymore."

Nowadays, it seems she only uses marijuana to help with sleep. And it's her mom that sources the stuff for her.
